Easy Camp drive away awnings provide versatile additional living space for campervans and motorhomes, designed specifically for touring holidays and weekend breaks. These budget-friendly awnings accommodate vehicles with attachment heights from 180-205cm and feature traditional fibreglass pole construction with pre-angled poles for enhanced stability.
The collection emphasises lightweight portability for frequent travellers, with most models weighing between 8.7-13.5kg and packing down to compact dimensions around 70x25cm. Each awning connects via a pre-attached 6-7mm kador strip or clip-on system, allowing secure attachment to your vehicle's C-channel awning rail whilst maintaining the drive away capability that lets you leave the freestanding structure at your pitch. Standard features include sewn-in bathtub groundsheets or toggle-up alternatives, curtained PVC windows with privacy blinds, large front and rear access doors, and high-level mesh ventilation panels for airflow management.
Setting up requires accurate measurement of your vehicle's rail height, as incompatible sizing prevents proper sealing and can cause water ingress during wet weather. The fibreglass pole construction uses 12.7mm and 9.5mm diameter poles that are lightweight yet robust enough for UK weather conditions. Drive away kits are essential for the disconnection process and typically sold separately, so verify what's included before purchasing your chosen model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle heights do Easy Camp drive away awnings fit?Easy Camp drive away awnings are designed for vehicles with attachment heights between 180-205cm, measured from ground to awning rail or roof connection point. This height range covers most UK campervans, MPVs, and smaller motorhomes. Always measure your specific vehicle's rail height rather than relying on manufacturer specifications, as overall vehicle height includes roof accessories and aerials that don't affect awning attachment.How durable are Easy Camp fibreglass poles?Easy Camp awnings use pre-angled fibreglass poles in 12.7mm and 9.5mm diameters, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratios for their budget price point. The pre-angled design creates better headroom and structural integrity compared to straight poles. While lightweight and portable, these poles are designed for occasional camping use rather than permanent installation, making them ideal for weekend breaks and touring holidays.How waterproof are Easy Camp drive away awnings?Easy Camp awnings feature 3000mm hydrostatic head ratings with fully taped seams and PU-coated 185T polyester fabric, providing excellent waterproofing for UK camping conditions. The fabric is also fire-retardant treated for safety. However, the connection tunnel between awning and vehicle is the most vulnerable point for water ingress, so proper tensioning and secure attachment to your awning rail is essential for weather protection.Do I need a drive away kit to disconnect from my vehicle?Yes, most Easy Camp awnings require a separate drive away kit for safe disconnection while leaving the awning pitched. The kit typically includes figure-8 fasteners, connection straps, and ground anchors to maintain structural integrity. Some models include basic drive away components, but check your specific model's contents as this varies between different Easy Camp models.Can Easy Camp awnings attach to any campervan awning rail?Easy Camp awnings use 6-7mm kador strips compatible with standard C-channel awning rails found on most modern campervans and motorhomes from manufacturers like VW, Ford, and Mercedes. Older vehicles with different rail profiles may need adapter strips or rail modifications for proper fitment. Alternative clip-on systems are available for vehicles without awning rails, though this method provides less secure attachment in windy conditions.Should I buy a footprint groundsheet for my Easy Camp awning?While Easy Camp awnings include integrated sewn-in or toggle-up groundsheets, a separate footprint provides extra protection against punctures and makes cleaning much easier after camping trips. Footprints are particularly recommended for frequent use, rocky pitches, or extended stays on rough terrain. They significantly extend your awning's lifespan and maintain resale value by preventing costly groundsheet damage from sharp stones or debris.
