Love camping with family and friends? then the Vango Kela V driveaway awning could be just what you are looking for. It provides an excellent space for relaxing, playing, sleeping and it inflates in a few minutes, leaving you less stressed and with more time to enjoy your break away. The Kela V is so easy to disconnect from your van and will be there when you return after a day of adventure, ready for you to relax. It attaches to the side of your motorhome or campervan, creating an open, versatile and spacious living area.

Heights/Sizes

As a driveaway awning, the Kela V has been designed with versatility in mind. Low, middle, and high options are available so that you can match the size of your awning to the vehicle you will be using it with, with additional adjustment on hand to get the perfect fit.

High-Quality Materials

With ground sheets made from Oxford Polyester and Sentinel Pro Double Ripstop Weave used for the outer of the awning, you can rest easy knowing that high-quality materials have been used to construct the Kela V.

Incredibly Easy Inflation

Designed to be a stress-free product, the Kela V can be inflated in minutes, with an AirSpeed® Valve System in place to make it incredibly easy. Additional bracing can be used to keep your awning secure in adverse weather conditions.

Low-Condensation Design

The Kela V is designed to perform extremely well in adverse weather conditions, with smartly placed low air vents providing enough airflow to limit the build-up of condensation inside your awning. This can help to prevent issues like mould.

Windows & Doors

This awning comes with several large windows on the outside, along with a 2-layer main door and a side door on each side.


The Kela V is so easy to disconnect from your van and will be there when you return after a day of adventure, ready for you to relax. It attaches to the side of your motorhome or campervan, creating an open, versatile and spacious living area. The Kela V has 4 attachment options, that we will explain later in our description and the tunnel space creates the ideal storage area or corridor, so you can keep your awning and vehicle clean and dry. Like other Vango driveaway awnings, the Kela V comes in the Low and Tall version, but fantastically the Kela also comes in a middle version, the Standard, meaning that vans of all different heights can be catered for. Such diversity, along with the design, strength and quality, means Vango Driveaway awnings are hugely popular. Please read below the following features section to see if you need a low, standard or tall kela V for your van. The diagrams and measurements will help you decide!

An excellent space to spend time with friends and family, the hugely popular Vango Kela drive away awning inflates in a few minutes leaving you with more time to enjoy your break. Designed to attach effortlessly to the side of your campervan, the Kela has 4 attachment options and the tunnel space creates the ideal storage area or corridor, so you can keep your awning and vehicle clean and dry. Whatever your adventure, the Kela will be there at the end of the day.



Features of the Vango Kela V (Low, Standard and Tall)



  • The Vango AirBeam® system means the awning is super quick to pitch and creates a great strong and rigid structure. This means the Kela V is more suited for longer stays, up to a few weeks, than some of the other awning designs.
  • It has an Oxford Polyester Groundsheet, which Vango have found to be the perfect balance between low weight and high durability.
  • The Groundsheet is fully sewn-in and attached to the flysheet. There is an external storm skirt to create a bug and draught free home away from home.
  • Sentinel Pro fabric makes the Kela V extremely waterproof and durable and it is created by a blend of fibres. Along with the Double Ripstop Weave construction it is 245% stronger than the entry level Sentinel Active fabric. Therefore the Kela V has been designed with the dedicated motor homers and caravanners who embark on several trips a year. The Sentinel Pro will perform in all weather conditions so is intended for use in more months of the year than the entry level awnings.
  • It's also important to mention the Sentinel Pro fabric has ColourLok™ technology (new to Vango this year) to enhance resistance to UV fading. It also has an Ultraviolet protection factor, UPF 50+
  • The AirSpeed® Valve System and easy access positioning have been designed by Vango to inflate your AirBeam®s with even less effort than before.......more time to relax!
  • To ensure the Kela V awning performs in adverse conditions, especially in strong, changeable winds, Vango have created the Vango Patented TBS®II Tension Band System. When tensioned, the bands brace the beam or pole at 3 points and prevent sideways movement. Then by adjusting the TBS®II you remove any slack. (Do not over tension, as this may deform the poles. Can be stowed away in calm weather).
  • Making it stand out from other awnings, the Kela is fitted with the SkyTrack II® System, which is a flexible hanging system, allowing you to easily attach lighting, storage or SkyLiners.
  • The High Visibility Guylines with Tidies try to ensure that they won't be a trip hazard to even the most clumsy! The lower half of the guylines are v bright orange and of course they are perfect at ensuring stability in high winds. The touch fasteners tidies are great for rolling up the guylines when not in use.
  • An Adjustable Pegging System allows your awning to be pitched perfectly on uneven surfaces.
  • To maximise light and visibility and to provide a bright and airy environment in your home away from home, Vango have installed Diamond Clear windows.
  • Skylight windows. These are windows which run along the roof line of the awning to maximise light during the day and for star gazing at night.
  • To allow varying levels of opening, the Zipped Privacy Curtains are quick and very simple to use. They are fitted to the flysheet with no gaps and they simply roll down into pockets, when you want to sit down and admire the view or watch the children play!
  • To enable versatile entry/exit to the front and back of your vehicle, the Kela V has a Two Door Connecting Tunnel.
  • The Connecting Tunnel is also Roll Away so it's super quick and simple when you drive away for the day on an adventure to easily roll back the tunnel. Likewise, the Roll Away Connecting Tunnel is just as easy to roll out and reattach.
  • A shade (or rain!) canopy can be created by using King Poles (need to be bought seperately) in the Integrated eyelets of the door.
  • Insect free ventilation is achieved by the 2 Mesh Doors. Front and side doors fitted with internal mesh panel.
  • Low Level Ventilation helps circulate air within the awning and reduces condensation.
  • To make life even easier Vango have supplied an Oversized Bag which has a wide opening. This makes it simpler to pack away your awning quickly. This design also includes robust compression straps allowing you to reduce the overall pack size, handy when trying to squeeze everything back into the van.
  • The Airaway vehicle awnings come with a Double Action Pump in a carry bag. This allows you to rapidly inflate your awning and it's worth mentining it has a pressure dial.
  • The Airaways also come with Steel Ground Pegs and mallet in a carry bag. These steel rock pegs are strong, durable and can be used on more challenging terrain.
  • As mentioned earlier there are a number of ways the Kela V can be attached to your vehicle. The Multiple Attachment Methods are 1. Pre-attached 6mm kador, 2. over vehicle straps, 3. roof bar attachment tabs and 4.sleeve for pole & clamp (see further down for more details in the extra info section).
  • If you experience strong winds, there is no need to worry with the Kela V as the Storm Straps give additional stability. You simply clip the storm straps onto the pre-attached buckles and peg into the ground to secure them. Extra peace of mind means you sleep better on the more stormy night!
  • Cable entry point with tidies. This zipped entry point for your power cable has touch fastener tidies make it safer and neater on the eye!

How to fit a Vango Kela Vehicle Awning
It's actually very simple and enables the Vango Kela V awnings to be put up in around 8 minutes! There are four differnt ways to attach a Vango Vehicle awning:

KADOR STRIP
Probably the most popular way of attaching the awning is the 6mm Kador strip. This is actually pre-attached to all Vango vehicle awnings. If you choose this easy method, you will need a rail/awning channel to be fitted to the side of your van. This Kador strip attachment creates the closet seal. This is most commonly used with a drive-away kit, to allow you to drive-away, leaving your awning free-standing.

POLE AND CLAMP KIT
If your vehicle has a deep gutter, a pole and clamp system can be purchased to attach your awning. You need to slide the pole into the sleeve at the top of the rear section of the awning. You then place the pole and fabric into the gutter of the vehicle and use the clamp to secure it at both ends and in the centre.

HOOK AND LOOP TABS
If you have roof bars on your vehicle, you may prefer to use the hook and loop tabs to attach your awning. These hook and loop tabs are pre-sewn in to the top of the driveaway awning tunnel.

WEBBING STRAPS
You don't need to panic if you do not have any attachment points on your vehicle as the Vango webbing straps will work perfectly for you. They come with the awning and can be clipped onto the buckles at the rear of the awning. You then need to pass the straps over your vehicle roof and pegged into the ground. You can give your awning a great shape and fully tension the roof by adjusting the straps.

Vango Never Fails To Impress

by Nick Evans (15 Aug 2019)
5 star review(5/5)
Great quality awning and they have designed it so it is very easy to drive away from it. Like the colour scheme and the material has shown no signs of leaking. It was a last minute decision and bought it on the Thursday (being very organised!) ready for the weekend. Leisureshopdirect didn't disappoint and it was in my hands by 11am on the Friday.
