The Vango Faros III Air Low Driveaway Awning sits at the compact end of Vango's driveaway range, built specifically for campervans and motorhomes where space comes at a premium. Its sewn-in groundsheet creates a sealed environment that keeps insects and drafts out completely, whilst the connecting tunnel features two access doors so you can reach either end of your vehicle without walking around outside. The AirBeam structure inflates in minutes using the included pump with its built-in pressure dial, and the 150D Sentinel Active fabric carries a 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating alongside ColourLok Eco technology that prevents the material from fading under prolonged sun exposure.

What makes this awning genuinely useful for touring is its versatility with different vehicle types. Pre-attached 6mm kador beading works with standard awning rails, whilst the included 8-metre over-vehicle straps, roof bar tabs, and pole-and-clamp sleeve mean you can mount it to virtually any campervan or motorhome configuration. The TBS II Tension Band System braces each beam at three points to stop sideways flex when wind picks up, and you can adjust these bands tight or stow them away depending on conditions. Diamond Clear windows let plenty of natural light through without that gloomy tinted effect some awnings give, and the mesh front door provides ventilation whilst keeping flying insects outside where they belong.

Practical touches include the SkyTrack II hanging system that runs along the interior ceiling, letting you clip lights and storage pouches wherever you need them rather than being stuck with fixed positions. The roll-away tunnel detaches using toggles when you drive off for the day, leaving the main awning freestanding until you return and reconnect. Privacy curtains operate on simple toggles too, so you can open them up for airflow or close them off for sleeping. The oversized carry bag gives you extra room when packing down, which anyone who's wrestled a damp awning into an undersized bag will appreciate. Steel pegs come included, though the bracer pole adds structural support at the front where most driveaway awnings need it. This awning works best for short touring trips rather than month-long static pitches, as the fabric will naturally wear faster under constant UV exposure.

6 FAQs on the Vango Faros III Air Driveaway Awnings | Low & Mid

Which driveaway kit do I need for my Vango Faros 3 Air Low Awning?
The rope channel on all Vango awnings is 6mm. If you are fitting directly to a Kador strip (the metal strip fixed to your van, sometimes called a Reimo rail) these almost always 6mm. You can then slide the rope channel on the awning straight into this. However, you will then not be able to driveaway. In this case you would want to get a 6mm 6mm driveaway kit.

If you are fitting it to a wind-out cassette awning from Thule, Fiamma or Dometic then these have a 4mm rail on them. In this case you will want to buy the 4mm 6mm driveaway kit.


How does the Vango Faros III Awning attach to my campervan?
The awning offers multiple attachment options to suit various vehicles and preferences. These include throw-over straps, a beading that fits into a rail, a fixing kit for a winder awning, a sleeve for a pole and clamp kit, and Velcro tabs for attaching to roof bars. This flexibility ensures a secure and adaptable fit for most vehicles.
How easy is it to set up the Vango Faros III Awning?
The awning is designed for quick and easy setup, with colour-coordinated webbing straps for clear pitching instructions. It can be pitched by one person in approximately 8 minutes. The awning features two inflation points and comes with a manual stirrup pump, utilising Vango's easy-to-use AirSpeed valve system.
What size vehicle will the Vango Faros III Low Awning fit?
The awning features a tunnel section available in a low size, ranging from 180 to 210 cm, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including VW vans, which commonly fit within the 185-190 cm height range. The awning includes doors on either side of the tunnel section for easy access to the vehicle without going through the main awning area.
How does the Vango ColourLok technology work, and what are its benefits?
ColourLok technology involves dyeing the thread before it is woven into the fabric, rather than dyeing the fabric itself. This process ensures better colour retention, making the awning look sharper for longer, with a more even colour distribution. This technology is likened to a carrot's consistent colour throughout, as opposed to a radish's colour only on the outside, providing enhanced resistance to fading from UV light.
What are the key features of the Vango Faros III Driveaway Awning?
The Vango Faros III Driveaway Awning features upgraded 150 denier fabric for enhanced durability and incorporates Vango's ColourLok technology for improved colour retention. It is designed with a small and sharp profile, offering large PVC windows with toggle-up curtains for privacy, low-level ventilation to combat condensation, and a sewn-in groundsheet for added convenience. The awning provides easy pitching with colour-coordinated webbing straps and includes a manual stirrup pump with Vango's AirSpeed valve for inflation.
