Outwell drive away awnings transform your camping experience by adding flexible living space to campervans, motorhomes and caravans without compromising your freedom to explore. These freestanding tent extensions attach securely to your vehicle through rails, guyropes or magnetic strips, creating a weatherproof passage between your vehicle and additional accommodation. The awnings remain upright when you detach and drive away, protecting your pitch and belongings whilst you're out sightseeing or shopping.
Unleash the freedom of the open road with an Outwell driveaway awning for camper vans, buses and motorhomes. These essentially work like a freestanding tent extension, which easily attaches to your vehicle by rails, guyropes or magnetic bands. So you have covered, private access between your vehicle and tent, but can drive away whenever you want, without having to take down the awning. With a choice of air or poled pitching, we’ve got a drive away awning to suit everyone, from first timers to seasoned campers. High quality materials, fully opening fronts and improved attachment points offer extra space, comfort and convenience whatever the weather. Optional inners let you quickly add bedrooms.
The range spans three distinct collections to match different needs and budgets. The pole-pitching Touring drive away collection uses superior Outtex 4000 fabric and offers quality without compromising price, whilst the Cruising Collection uses durable Outtex 3000 material in traditional poled designs. Air drive away models feature Smart Air technology for instant inflation through single valves, available in 8 different attachment heights from 155-185cm up to 240-270cm to fit everything from VW Transporters to large motorhomes. Models like the Cross PowerAir, Scenic Road and Milestone ranges include Drive Away Ready systems for tool-free connection.
Compatible vehicles range from low campervans (180-210cm attachment height) including VW T4/T5/T6 and Mazda Bongo, through to tall motorhomes (240-290cm) like coachbuilt and high-top conversions. Optional inner tents convert living areas into private bedrooms, whilst fully opening fronts and tinted windows provide versatile indoor-outdoor spaces. One consideration is that air models cost more than poled versions, though they offer significantly faster setup times of just minutes compared to traditional pole pitching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which height Outwell drive away awning fits my vehicle?Measure from ground level to your vehicle's awning rail or attachment point on flat ground. Low awnings (180-210cm) fit VW T4/T5/T6 and similar campervans. Mid-height (210-255cm) suits larger vans and smaller motorhomes. Tall awnings (240-290cm) are designed for motorhomes and high-top conversions. Always check the specific height range listed for each Outwell model.What's the difference between Outwell air and poled drive away awnings?Air awnings use Smart Air technology with single-valve inflation for setup in minutes, whilst poled versions use traditional fibreglass poles taking longer to erect but costing less. Air models like the Cross PowerAir include integrated lighting systems and Drive Away Ready connections. Poled Touring and Cruising collections offer excellent value with Outtex 3000-4000 fabrics and similar weatherproofing.Can I attach an Outwell drive away awning to my existing wind-out awning?Yes, you can attach to Fiamma, Thule or Omnistor wind-out awnings using a drive away kit with 4mm-6mm figure-of-eight strips. The awning's 6mm kador strip connects via the kit to your wind-out awning's 4mm channel. This creates a secure attachment whilst allowing quick disconnection when driving away. Some gap between awning and van is normal with this method.How quickly can I set up an Outwell Smart Air drive away awning?Outwell Smart Air awnings inflate through one central valve in under 5 minutes using the included pump. The integrated One-Go system inflates all air tubes simultaneously. Traditional poled models typically take 15-30 minutes depending on size and experience. Air models also pack away faster as there are no poles to dismantle and store separately.What attachment methods work if my vehicle doesn't have an awning rail?Outwell awnings include multiple attachment options including velcro straps for roof bars, guylines that throw over the vehicle and peg down, and compatibility with magnetic attachment strips. Some models work with suction cup systems for smooth-roofed vehicles. Gutter clamps suit older campervans with deep guttering. The most secure option is retrofitting a dedicated 6mm awning rail.Are Outwell drive away awnings stable in windy conditions?Outwell uses Duratec fibreglass poles and robust Outtex fabrics rated to withstand typical UK weather. Air models actually flex better in wind than rigid poles, reducing stress points. However, like all drive away awnings, performance depends on proper pegging using all supplied guy lines and storm straps. In severe weather, it's advisable to take down any awning regardless of brand.Can I add sleeping space to my Outwell drive away awning?Most Outwell drive away awnings accept optional inner tents that create private bedroom compartments sleeping 2-4 people depending on model size. Inner tents feature dark fabrics for better morning sleep and are designed specifically for each awning model. The main awning space remains available for dining and storage when inners are fitted.What's included with Outwell Drive Away Ready systems?Drive Away Ready models include integrated connection systems that eliminate the need for separate drive away kits. The awning connects directly to your vehicle's rail or wind-out awning and disconnects tool-free when driving away. This system includes the Awning Sealing System that creates weatherproof seals between vehicle and access zone, plus height-adjustable buckled webbing for different vehicle sizes.How do I maintain and clean my Outwell drive away awning?Clean Outwell awnings using cold water and mild detergent, avoiding household cleaners that can damage waterproof coatings. Allow to dry completely before packing to prevent mould. Store in a cool, dry place and check air tubes for punctures before each trip. Re-waterproof annually using appropriate fabric treatments. Outwell provides 2-year warranties covering manufacturing defects but not wear from normal use.
