The Vango Palma 260 Caravan Awning is a compact, lightweight touring porch awning designed to work brilliantly on smaller pitches without feeling cramped. Its 260 cm width and 240 cm depth give you practical extra living space for cooking, eating or storing kit, while the pre-shaped poled frame provides full standing headroom across most of the awning. Built from Dynamic Weave 100 fabric with a 4000 mm hydrostatic head, it’s made to handle wet and windy UK sites while still packing down small and loading easily into the caravan.
Is the Vango Palma 260 a good choice for compact caravan pitches and weekend touring?
With a 240 cm depth, 260 cm width and height of 205 cm, the Palma 260 is sized to fit comfortably on compact caravan pitches while still giving usable space for a table, chairs and storage. Weighing 9.8 kg with a 75 x 25 x 25 cm pack size and a pitching time of around 10 minutes, it suits weekend touring where quick setup and low weight matter.
Inside, large diamond clear windows keep the space bright and open, while toggled privacy curtains let you close things down in the evening. Two side mesh doors help airflow and reduce condensation, with insect protection for warmer weather. Easy access doors give a flat entry for prams, wheelchairs or anyone who prefers not to step over a high threshold, which makes day-to-day use on site more relaxed for all ages.
The poled PowerDual frame combines PowerPlus steel uprights with PowerFlex fibreglass roof poles and an alloy bracer pole for extra stability in blustery conditions. Vango’s TBSII tension band system supports the structure in shifting winds, while webbing storm straps, corner rock pegs, adjustable pegging points and included steel pegs all work together to keep the awning steady on mixed ground. A draught skirt and wheel arch cover help keep cold air out along the van side, and the dual 4 mm / 6 mm kador allows connection to standard caravan rails and many wind-out canopies. With an adjustable attachment height of 235–250 cm and touring-specific fabric, it suits caravanners who want a reliable porch awning for regular trips rather than a season-long pitch.The Vango Palma 260 Caravan Awning is a compact, lightweight touring porch awning designed to work brilliantly on smaller pitches without feeling cramped.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Vango Palma 260 is designed for caravans and some motorhomes with an awning rail or wind-out canopy height between 235 cm and 250 cm. It uses a 310 cm dual 4 mm and 6 mm kador, so it connects to standard caravan rails and many cassette awnings that accept either bead size along a 260 cm connection width.
The Palma 260 is built as a lightweight touring awning rather than a full seasonal model. Dynamic Weave 100 polyester with a 4000 mm hydrostatic head is designed for repeated short breaks and holiday touring. For long-term or seasonal pitching where the awning stays up for months in continuous UV exposure, a heavier fabric awning is usually recommended.
The quoted pitching time for the Palma 260 is around 10 minutes in normal conditions once you are familiar with the process. The poled PowerDual frame uses steel uprights, fibreglass roof poles and an alloy bracer pole. Many caravanners pitch it solo, although having a second person for feeding the kador and positioning the first pole usually speeds things up.
In the standard package you get the Palma 260 awning with Dynamic Weave 100 fabric, PowerDual steel and fibreglass poles, an alloy bracer pole, draught skirt, wheel arch cover, webbing storm straps, six orange-topped corner rock pegs, steel pegs, adjustable pegging points, SkyTrack II system with sky hooks and an oversized carry bag with compression straps.
The Palma 260 uses Dynamic Weave 100 polyester with a 4000 mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and taped seams for wet conditions. In wind, the PowerDual pole structure is supported by Vango’s TBSII tension band system, webbing storm straps, rock pegs and adjustable pegging points. Correct pegging, guying and tensioning are important for performance in strong winds.
Yes, the Palma 260 fabric is fire retardant and tested to European EN5912 standards. This is the standard used for many quality tents and awnings sold in the UK and gives added confidence for use on club and commercial caravan sites which expect compliant, fire-retardant materials.
