  Product Description
The Outwell Suction Cup Set provides a straightforward solution for attaching drive-away awnings and sun canopies to smooth vehicle roofs when you can't use gutter rails or roof bars. This two-piece kit uses industrial-strength suction cups connected by adjustable webbing with tensioners, letting you create secure anchor points on car roofs, motorhome cabs, or van roofs without drilling or permanent fixings. Each suction cup is designed to grip glass, metal, or fibreglass surfaces - you press them firmly against the roof, flip the locking mechanism, and they form an airtight seal that holds tension from awning guy ropes or elastic straps. The webbing runs through each cup with a built-in tensioner so you can adjust the length and tightness to suit different roof sizes and awning heights.

This setup works best on completely smooth, clean surfaces - any dirt, wax, or texture will compromise the seal. You'll want to check the suction periodically during your trip, especially after hot days or overnight temperature drops, because thermal expansion can weaken the grip. The cups handle moderate wind loads when properly positioned, but they're not rated for extreme weather conditions like roof bars would be. Most people use these on smaller driveaway awnings (around 2-3 metres wide) rather than full-size models, and they're particularly popular with van conversion owners who don't want permanent roof fixings. The 0.5kg weight means they pack down small at 40x15x5cm, and because there's no metalwork involved, they won't scratch paintwork or cause rust issues around mounting points like some bracket systems can over time.

You need to think about your roof material before buying - they grip brilliantly on glass sunroofs or painted metal panels, but textured plastic roofs or vinyl wraps won't provide enough surface contact. The webbing length suits most standard vehicles, though particularly tall 4x4s or high-roof vans might need additional guy ropes to bridge the gap between roof and awning. Outwell includes two cups in the set because that's the typical requirement for one side of an awning, but if you're securing both sides to the roof (rather than using ground pegs on one side), you'll need two sets total. The tensioners make adjustment quick once you've got the initial placement right, and unlike rope-based systems, you can fine-tune the tension without retying knots. These have become standard kit for festival campers and weekend van users who want the convenience of a driveaway awning without investing in permanent roof bars that add wind noise and fuel consumption to daily driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Outwell Suction Cup Set work on my motorhome roof?
The suction cups work on smooth, clean surfaces including glass, painted metal, and fibreglass. They won't grip properly on textured plastic roofs, vinyl wraps, or surfaces with dirt or wax residue. Clean the mounting area thoroughly before use and check the surface is completely smooth.
How many Outwell Suction Cup Sets do I need for my awning?
Each set contains two suction cups, which typically secures one side of a drive-away awning. If you want to attach both sides of your awning to the roof rather than using ground pegs on one side, you'll need two complete sets for four suction cups total.
What size awnings work with Outwell Suction Cup Sets?
These suction cups work best with smaller drive-away awnings around 2-3 metres wide. They handle moderate wind loads when properly positioned but aren't rated for extreme weather conditions like permanent roof bars. Larger awnings create more wind load and may exceed the cups' holding capacity.
How do I maintain suction during my trip?
Check the suction cups periodically, especially after hot days or overnight temperature drops. Thermal expansion and contraction can weaken the grip. Press each cup firmly and flip the locking mechanism again if you notice any air leaks. Remove and clean both the cup and roof surface if suction decreases.
Can I use Outwell Suction Cups on curved vehicle roofs?
The suction cups need flat, smooth surfaces to form an airtight seal. Curved roofs, raised sections, or areas with compound curves won't provide adequate contact for secure attachment. Look for flat panels on your roof or consider alternative mounting methods for curved surfaces.
