Product Information

Never heard of Shandika? Me neither. Shandika awnings and tents are made in China. The quality of their products are in the budget range of awnings, however, you do get quite a lot of awning for your money. A second method we’ve seen but not yet tried, is to hook the figure of 8 strips to the top edge of the wind out awning, then attach a kador to that, then another figure of 8 to the drive away awning - to give easy decoupling. Or just slot the drive away kador straight into the first fig of 8. This pulls the coupling up much higher than the door. Over the last few years, the popularity of drive away awnings have exploded. Owners find they’re the perfect cross between a traditional awning and a free-standing tent. Furthermore, they come in a wide variety of sizes and are usually made out of super-durable materials. Consequently, they give you additional space that helps free up the interior of your campervan.

The 4mm side of the beading slides onto your wind-out awning. Then, the figure-of-eight strips on the 6mm side attach to the drive away awning.

The OLPRO Wrap Campervan Awning is vast! At 210cm tall, this awning provides ample headroom and is ideal for campervans and motorhomes. For the most part, this doesn’t cause a problem because the cables can be laid below or alongside the awning, but it’s worth considering. If you use a portable power station instead of the hookups, this won’t be a cause for concern. If you want it to be a relaxing space, you can prop open the front door with poles, creating a pleasant canopy to sit under. Most driveaways attach to the side door of the camper, although some models can attach to the rear door. So that’s one aspect to consider. The other is that once it’s attached, in which direction do you want to exit? Don’t be fooled by the ‘XL’ in the name of this awning. It’s actually one of the smaller options on this list.The best option is with an awning channel. It works the same as a wind-out awning but needs a 6mm to 6mm kit instead.

What We Liked Large drive away awnings might exceed the size of some pitches: some campgrounds have designated pitches. If the combined size of your camper, awning, and connecting tunnel exceed the pitch, you won’t be able to use it – or will need to pay for a larger pitch. This is really only relevant to a large drive away awning.The front of the awning can be elevated horizontally to create a sun canopy, however, the poles needed to do this are not included (they are an optional extra). There’s a PVC window on either side of the awning and a number of meshed ventilation vents which are handy for keeping cool without letting in flies. One more neat little feature is a mains cable access point. In less than half an hour, you can set up this enormous shelter and be the envy of your fellow campers. Look for an awning that offers flexible living space. Multiple door openings give you more options for setting up at different camps. For example, you may want the door open onto views or away from the wind.
