Frequently Asked Questions

What does front-facing mean on the Vango Cove III Low awning?

Front-facing means the awning attaches to the side of your campervan rather than the back, so the entrance faces the same direction as your vehicle windscreen. This layout gives you the view instead of facing your van, and provides more privacy from neighbouring pitches because the side of your campervan acts as a screen.

Will the Cove III Low fit my campervan without a kador strip?

Yes, the Cove III Low comes with multiple attachment methods including 8 metre over-vehicle straps, roof bar tabs, and a sleeve for pole and clamp kits. The 6mm kador beading slides into an awning rail if you have one fitted, but if your campervan has no rail you can use the straps that go over the roof or attach to roof bars. A separate pole and clamp kit can also be purchased to create an attachment point.

How do you disconnect the Cove III Low to drive away?

The tunnel section that connects to your vehicle rolls back and secures with toggles, leaving the main awning free-standing whilst you drive off. When you return, you park in roughly the same spot and reconnect the tunnel to your campervan. This works because the awning has its own poles and sewn-in groundsheet, so it stays upright without being attached to the vehicle.

What size bedroom pod fits the Vango Cove III Low?

The Cove III Low takes either the Vango BR001 two-person bedroom or the BR005 four-person bedroom. Both clip into the awning and create separate sleeping space if you have guests staying or want to keep your sleeping area away from the living space. These bedrooms are sold separately and hang from toggles inside the awning.

Can the Cove III Low be left up for a full season?

The Cove III Low is designed for touring and weekend trips rather than seasonal pitching. Leaving any awning up for months exposes the fabric to continuous UV degradation and weathering, which shortens its lifespan. This awning performs best when used for holidays and shorter breaks, then packed away between trips. If you need something for permanent site use, a seasonal awning with heavier duty fabric would be a better choice.

What is the TBS II system on the Vango Cove III Low?

TBS II is Vango's Tension Band System that braces each pole at three points to stop sideways movement in wind. The bands wrap around the poles and peg out separately, creating a triangle of tension that keeps the pole stable. You can adjust them to remove slack or stow them away completely in calm conditions. This system helps the awning handle gusts better than poles alone.

Does the Cove III Low come with pegs and guylines?

Yes, the awning includes steel pegs and high-visibility guylines. The guylines are brightly coloured to reduce trip hazards in low light, and key pegging points are marked with orange tabs to show you which pegs to put in first when pitching. The steel pegs handle most ground types, though you might want rock pegs for very hard ground or longer pegs for soft sand.

What is the waterproof rating of the Cove III Low fabric?

The Sentinel Active 75D fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 3,000mm, which means it handles heavy rain without leaking. The awning has been tested to EN ISO 5912 standard, confirming it works in typical wet and windy camping weather. The sewn-in groundsheet has a storm skirt around the base that keeps water from running underneath, and the seams are factory sealed.
