Pick the Perfect Camper Van Awnings and Rails

Join the outdoor revolution with campervan awnings and rails.

Once you arrive at the campsite, you’ll want to settle in quickly, and this is where camper van awnings come into their own. While you can enjoy your time with just your campervan and the interior, stretching your legs a bit during warmer months is excellent. That’s where Campervan Awnings and Rails come in. A drive-away awning is versatile camping equipment that attaches to the side of your vehicle, allowing you to easily unclip and move your camper while leaving the awning standing.

By opening up the side of the van and installing a rail and a tent, you can dramatically increase the space you have to use. When combined with a pop-top roof extender, you’ll be surprised just how much space you have when settling into your location.

Which awnings and rails are suitable for you?

As with anything involving camper vans, you get what you’re willing to pay for. The cheapest rails and awnings can be as simple as a sheet of canvas with two metal legs attached, which can be ideal if you only need a bit of extra space during a summer getaway. 

Alternatively, you can add a large awning attachment, which doubles or even triples the space available by adding a large tent to the side of your camper van. This option is ideal for longer trips, more people, or weather that might not be as friendly as you’d like. Awnings are a budget-friendly option for picnicking and are easy to use, making them practical for various camping scenarios.

What should I look for in awnings and railings?

While it can be tempting to focus solely on cost and opt for a cheap awning or rail, it’s crucial to choose something that will be easy to use, maintain, and set up—especially if you’re expecting challenging weather. Durability and reliability should be top priorities to ensure your awning or rail stands up to the elements and provides the necessary functionality.

Campervan users have specific needs when it comes to awnings. Choosing the right awning is essential, as drive-away awnings can be easily detached, providing additional living space and functionality during camping trips.

Space and design are also essential considerations. If you’re travelling with a group, a larger awning that can sleep several people might be ideal, providing ample space and comfort. On the other hand, if it’s just one or two of you, a more compact awning might be sufficient, saving you time on setup and storage.
