  Product Description
The Outwell Santa Monica Air is a drive-away awning designed for campervans and motorhomes with connection heights between 175-200cm. It uses an inflatable air tube system rather than traditional poles, which means you can pitch it in about 10 minutes using the included pump. The awning connects to your vehicle via a 250cm connection rail that accepts both 7mm and 5mm beading, then when you want to explore the area, you simply detach and leave it standing on your pitch. The living space measures comfortably for two to four people, with a sewn-in polyethylene groundsheet that keeps dampness out.

The front features a full-height door with a protective canopy above it, and the entire front panel unzips completely for maximum airflow. Behind this sits a full mesh screen, so on warm evenings you can leave the door open without inviting midges inside. Both sides of the Link Access Zone (the section that connects to your vehicle) have their own doors, giving you flexibility about which side you enter from depending on your pitch layout. The Outtex 3000 Select polyester flysheet provides 3000mm waterproof protection and UPF 30+ sun blocking, plus Outwell has moved to PFAS-free water repellency treatment. Large tinted windows let natural light in while the toggle-up curtains give you privacy when needed.

At 14.5kg packed into a 75 x 40 x 36cm bag, it's manageable for one person to handle, though having two people makes setup easier. The HookTrack system runs along the ceiling for hanging lights or storage organisers up to 1.5kg. One consideration is the 9.5mm fibreglass poles used for the canopy structure are adequate but not as robust as steel alternatives, so handle them carefully during setup. The package includes everything you need: pump, pegs, guy lines, repair kit, valve tool, and five connection hooks for attaching to your vehicle's awning rail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What connection height does my campervan need for the Santa Monica Air?
The Outwell Santa Monica Air requires a connection height between 175cm and 200cm measured from the ground to your vehicle's awning rail. This range fits most standard campervans and smaller motorhomes. The 250cm connection rail accepts both 7mm and 5mm beading sizes, which covers the majority of vehicle awning rails fitted to European campervans and motorhomes.
How long does it take to pitch the Santa Monica Air awning?
The inflatable air tube system allows the Santa Monica Air to be pitched in approximately 10-12 minutes using the included pump. This is considerably faster than traditional poled awnings that can take 30-45 minutes. The DuraAir tubes inflate through valves, and the pre-shaped design means the structure holds itself once pressurised. Two people can have it fully set up in under 10 minutes, while one person working alone typically needs 15-20 minutes including attaching to the vehicle and pegging out.
Is the Santa Monica Air genuinely waterproof?
The Outtex 3000 Select polyester flysheet provides 3000mm hydrostatic head waterproof protection, which meets the British Standard for waterproof tents and handles sustained heavy rain without leaking. The sewn-in double-coated polyethylene groundsheet prevents ground moisture from seeping through. Outwell now uses PFAS-free water repellency treatment on the flysheet fabric, which performs similarly to older chemical treatments while being environmentally safer. The seams are factory taped and the heavy-duty zips include storm flaps.
Can I leave the awning standing when I drive away with my campervan?
Yes, the Santa Monica Air is specifically designed as a drive-away awning. Once attached and pitched, you detach the connection rail from your vehicle and the awning remains free-standing on your pitch. This lets you use your campervan for day trips or supply runs without dismantling your living space. The rear connection zone has a full-width opening that zips closed once the vehicle is removed. When you return, you simply reconnect using the beading channel.
What are the weak points of the Santa Monica Air?
The 9.5mm fibreglass poles used for the front canopy structure are the main limitation. These poles are lighter than steel alternatives but need careful handling during setup and takedown as they can snap if bent sharply or twisted. The air tubes themselves are robust PVC-free DuraAir construction that rarely fails, but a puncture would require the repair kit. At 14.5kg total weight, the awning is manageable but the packed size of 75 x 40 x 36cm takes up storage space in smaller campervans.
How many people does the Santa Monica Air sleep?
The Santa Monica Air provides one living room space rather than a sleeping compartment. The interior comfortably accommodates two to four people as a daytime living area with room for camping furniture, chairs, and table. The sewn-in groundsheet covers the full floor area. If you want to sleep in the awning rather than your campervan, you would need to add camping beds or sleeping mats, though most users treat it as additional living space while sleeping in the vehicle.
What ventilation options does the Santa Monica Air have?
The entire front panel unzips completely with a full mesh screen behind, allowing maximum airflow on warm days while keeping insects out. Large tinted windows on both sides provide additional ventilation when opened, and each window has toggle-up curtains for privacy. The Link Access Zone has doors on both sides that can be left open with mesh protection. This cross-ventilation prevents condensation buildup during cooler nights and keeps the interior comfortable in summer heat.
Does the Santa Monica Air come with a pump?
The Santa Monica Air includes an Outwell pump designed specifically for inflating the DuraAir tubes to the correct pressure. The package also contains pegs for securing the awning, guy lines for additional stability in wind, a repair kit for the air tubes, five HookTrack hooks for hanging lights or storage, a valve tool for deflation, and five connection hooks for attaching to your vehicle's awning rail. Everything needed for setup comes in the 75 x 40 x 36cm carry bag.
