Before we start delving into the wonders of the Dometic driveaway awnings, did you know that Dometic bought out Kampa driveaway awnings in December 2018? Kampa Air Driveaway awnings have been exceedingly popular for many years due to their outstanding design and performance. As the Kampa brand is replaced by the Dometic brand, many of the widely known Kampa Driveaway Awning models may well become Dometic driveaway awning models. In the meantime, you may find them branded, Kampa Dometic Air Driveaway Awnings for example. Slightly confusing, but be well assured they will remain outstanding in function and style!

What is a Dometic Driveaway Awning and what are the benefits of having one?

If you are completely new to the world of driveaway awnings, they are essentially a tent that easily attaches to the side of your motorhome or campervan. You erect and attach it when you pitch up at your chosen campsite, but can easily detach it each day when you want to go out exploring the local area or are in need of restocking supplies. Driveaway awnings, just like all the Dometic Kampa Driveaway awnings, usually consist of a living area with an attaching tunnel.
Even if you have got camping packing down to a fine art, there really isn’t enough room for all the family to sleep comfortably in most vans, along with all the essential (and a few indulgent ones!) camping gear and toys. With an attachment, like the Dometic Driveaway awnings, you can let the children sleep in the awning and still be able to see them with the van door open. It gives the ideal space to dine if the weather is a bit iffy, or a place to shelter from the sun. If you are the sporty type, it gives the ultimate space for storing your bikes, surf boards or any other gear. Perhaps you have a family furry friend or two who simply love the camping life as well and these Dometic Kampa Driveaway awnings provide the perfect space to keep them from making muddy footprints all over the inside of your beloved home away from home. Even if you are a smaller camping crew of only two, the extra space these driveaway awnings can provide is almost essential if you are going away for anything more than a weekend. And don’t forget you can leave all the camping gear set up for an easy, relaxing return, when you get back from a tiring day of sight-seeing. You will be eating dinner in no time at all and then you can sit back and unwind with your favourite tipple in hand!

What are the Dometic Driveaway Awning attachment options?

The Dometic Driveaway awnings are available in a range of heights, so that they can fit vehicles from a height of 220cm to 300cm in height. They are specifically designed for an easy, secure attachment to most motorhomes and campervans to help maximise your awnings performance and therefore your enjoyment of it. So which type of Dometic Driveaway awning attachment will best suit your van? There are three different methods, guyline, Velcro loops or beading attachment. Guy Line Straps is the quickest method. You throw the guy lines, which are attached to the top corners of the tunnel, over your vehicle and either peg them down on the other side or tie it to your van’s wheels. It is very simple to detach for a fun day out…..simply untie or unpeg and throw them back over. The second option, Velcro Loops, is ideal if you have roof rails on your home away from home. These Velcro loops are connected from the top edge of the tunnel to the rail and can simply be released when you want to leave your Dometic Drive-away awning free standing on its own. The third choice is to use the Dometic Drive-away kits, which offer a very secure way to attach your awning to your vehicle. You simply need to connect the figure-of-8 strip to the keder along one edge, before attaching the pre-sewn awning beading along the other. To drive away you simply slide the figure-of-8 out of position and leave the awning free-standing on your pitch, ready and set-up for your return.

One of the most popular series of Dometic Driveaway awnings, is the Rally Air Pro DA awnings. They are designed to suit a wide range of vehicles, allowing you to leave your awning on site, whilst you explore the local area. One of its main selling points, is that it is easy to set up, thanks to the Single Point Air Frame technology. You can conveniently inflate the entire Air Frame from just one external inflation point, which is super quick and provides a very strong structure. It has great ventilation, which improves your comfort by increasing air circulation and reducing condensation. If you like having a full view of your beautiful surroundings the front panels can be zipped out, which also reduces the weight when you are transporting it from home to campsite. One of these Dometic Air driveaway awnings will keep you and your loved ones safer and dry, because they are made from the distinguished Weathershield Pro double coated polyester fabric. This is very tough material, which is proven in diverse environments. With the generous dimensions, these Dometic drive-away awnings maximise the liveable space on your chosen pitch. They come in a range of sizes, the largest being the Dometic Kampa Rally Air Pro 390 DA and the smallest, Dometic Kampa Rally Air Pro 260 DA. You will be able to roam free with these Dometic Rally Pro Air drive away awnings, adventure further and stay for longer so that you can create those all-important long term family memories.
