Outdoor Revolution Driveaway Awnings

Outdoor Revolution driveaway awnings offer campervan and motorhome owners a full living space next to their vehicle, pitched within minutes and left standing while they drive off for the day. This collection brings together poled and inflatable models from two different ranges, the Cayman and the Movelite, with footprints running from 300 x 200cm up to 440 x 310cm. Each awning fixes to the van's side through a cowl tunnel, making a sealed walkthrough from the sliding door into the awning. Connection heights span 180cm to 240cm, fitting sought-after campervans like the VW Transporter and Ford Transit Custom next to low-profile motorhomes. Packed weights for the principal awnings run from about 11kg on the lightest poled Cuda to 27kg on the Movelite Modular Air.
The Cayman collection handles the compact and mid-size end, split between poled and inflatable choices. Poled models use Dura-Tech fibreglass frames and pack away lighter. Inflatable versions use Outdoor Revolution's Oxygen Air Frame system with single-point inflation through a Dynamic Speed Valve, cutting pitch time to about 10 minutes. Fabrics step up through the collection: 120HDE polyester at 3,000mm hydrostatic head on the entry-level awnings, Tensile Core at 3,000mm on the mid-range, and Tensile Active ripstop at 4,000mm on the bigger Cayman Air T3. The Movelite sits at the high-grade end with Tensile Pro ripstop rated to 6,000mm hydrostatic head and a modular design, where extension, annexe and front canopy each zip on to extend the layout. Outdoor Revolution is a West Yorkshire maker, and every inflatable model in the range has a lifetime guarantee on its air tubes.
Weekend campervan tourers pitch these awnings to double their usable room at each stop without packing a standalone tent. The smaller Cuda models suit couples or solo travellers who want a light carry and a fast pitch, adding a dry area for cooking and storage next to the van. Bigger models like the Cayman Air T3 and the Movelite Modular create enough room for a family of four with space for a table and chairs. The zip-on Cayman Annexe and Movelite Modular Annexe each add a two-berth sleeping compartment, turning a day awning into an overnight set-up. Owners after footprints, inner tents and other add-ons will find them in the Outdoor Revolution awning accessories collection.
If you are a couple touring in a VW Transporter or Transit Custom, the Cayman Cuda or Cayman Air offers you living space in a pack under 16kg. If you're travelling with children or require a standing-height area for meals, the T3 and T4 models provide a 440cm frontage with room for camp furniture. The Movelite Modular is the only awning here with a three-piece add-on system: a covered extension, a two-berth annexe and a front canopy, each bought and installed separately. Entry-level poled awnings use fibreglass frames and 120HDE fabric, keeping the weight and pack size down for smaller vans. High-grade inflatable models step up to Tensile Pro ripstop at 6,000mm hydrostatic head with the Intelligent Frame Relief system, made for extended getaways in exposed conditions.
The most common mistake is buying a height fitting outside the van's connection collection, so measure from the ground to the awning rail or gutter with the van on level ground first. Each model connects with 4mm or 6mm twin cowl piping, but you buy the attachment rail or magnetic strip for the van itself separately. Check the awning's stated connection height against Low (180 to 220cm) or the wider Low/Mid (180 to 240cm) on the Cuda collection. Inflatable awnings include a hand pump, but an electric pump speeds the job up on bigger models with two or three air beams. Keep the awning dry and loosely rolled to prevent mildew on the coated fabric, and never pack it away wet for more than a day.
