About Campervan Awnings

Purchasing an awning for your campervan ensures you have great additional space for living and storage. If you don’t have the space for all guests to sleep in your campervan, some campervan awnings even come with built-in sleeping pods. At Halfords, we stock campervan awnings from top brands including Outdoor Revolution, Olpro and Leisurewize. There are different types of campervan awnings, including: Campervan driveaway awnings and Inflatable awnings.

Driveaway awning for campervans

A driveaway awning can be attached to your vehicle but is a free-standing structure, meaning if you need to drive somewhere, you can simply detach the awning and go. When choosing an awning, make sure to investigate the size as a ‘low’ campervan awning may be more suited for your vehicle.

Inflatable awning for campervans

Inflatable awnings for your campervan feature air-filled tubes rather than poles, meaning there’s greater stability in the wind and they are less likely to suffer from damage and breakages. It is possible to find a driveaway awning that is inflatable too. If you’re still choosing between a campervan and a caravan, but are looking to get fully kitted out - check out our complete range of caravan and motorhome accessories.

Campervan Awnings and Accessories FAQs

How to attach an awning to a campervan?

Most campervan awnings slide into the rail along the side of the van or fix on with straps, depending on the design. Once it’s lined up, peg the corners down and tension the lines so it sits properly. Take a minute to check the height is right for your van, as a snug fit helps keep rain and wind out.

Is it worth getting an awning on a campervan?

For most people, yes, it’s well worth it. An awning gives you extra room to relax, store gear, or even sleep if it has a pod. It also gives you shelter when the weather turns, which can make trips a lot more comfortable, especially on longer stays.
