Show Us Your Awning Setup.

Must be ok if you camped in the sow, like the icicles on the Cali

We've recently tried a couple of awnings out and they are both very different from each other. Both great too! The Vango is great for anytime but if you are staying somewhere for 3 or 4 days + then we think the Glawning is fantastic!

Love the Glawning - you can't beat canvas tents for comfort - downside is weight and pack size. I have a 3.5m Karsten at the moment plus various extension awnings - I was on the verge of selling but apparently, for a price, Karsten will make me a tunnel to connect to the van - tempted!

We have a simple set of awning room sides for our wind out..
We don't spend long enough in one place to go to the effort of putting anything else up.

Vango Galli (short) 2017 model. It has the inner carpet, 1 x bedroom.. for me it was perfect.. enough room for a small table n stools for kids to sit and have breakfast at..and few chairs for evening beers(wine)

Loving that Glawning! Might be the one that convinces our lass it's the way forward! Currently got a trailer tent but hate towing....

Busfest ‘17. Outdoor revolution Movelite T4. I have just bought a vango day awning that I have yet to take out the bag and try on the van. Will wait for a nice day then do it. Only with the current inclemancy, it may be a while.

Don’t know why I wrote vango in original post, when it is Outwell.

No problem. Cheers.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a simple awning/shelter with poles?
I have an inflatable Vango Cruz which is great for longer stays but I am after something that would give a bit of shade that can attach to the rail on the van, for the 1 or 2 day camp.
Thanks!!

 

[Chopman]

We use a rail sail with or without a few telescopic robins poles. It's not cheap, but it's very flexible, it's large and it's totally waterproof.

 

[TeamT]

That looks just the ticket, thanks

We use a Kela 111 for long stays and Quercha base seconds pop up tent for 1 or 2 days.

How many times have you taken your eye out trying to get the Quechua back in its bag

Lol - we bought a 4 man version a few years ago with the intention of myself and Josh using for boys trips away - Jo managed to work out how to repack it straight away - first time I tried it drew blood (literally) - listed and sold on very soon after.
