The Ultimate Guide to Driveaway Awnings for Your Campervan

Adding a driveaway awning to your campervan is one of the best ways to enhance your camping experience. A driveaway awning creates extra space for living, sleeping, and storage while offering the flexibility to detach and leave it behind at the campsite when you take your campervan out for the day. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes a driveaway awning a must-have accessory, the features to look for, and why OLPRO’s range of awnings—including the Cubo Breeze V2, Loopo Breeze V2, and Cocoon Breeze V2—is an excellent choice for campervan owners.

What Is a Driveaway Awning?

A driveaway awning is a standalone tent-like structure that connects to your campervan via an attachment, such as a rail, straps, or beading. Unlike traditional awnings, driveaway awnings allow you to detach your campervan without dismantling the awning, so you can explore the area while leaving your campsite set up.

Why Choose a Driveaway Awning for Your Campervan?

1. Extra Living Space

Campervans can feel cramped, especially on longer trips or with family or friends. A driveaway awning provides additional room for:

• Dining and lounging.
• Extra sleeping quarters.
• Storing camping gear.

2. Flexibility

The detachable design means you can leave the awning in place while using your campervan to explore. Your campsite stays intact, saving you the hassle of re-pitching when you return.

3. Weather Protection

Driveaway awnings are built to withstand the elements, offering shelter from rain, wind, and sun.

4. Ease of Setup

Modern driveaway awnings, like OLPRO’s inflatable Breeze range, are designed for quick and hassle-free assembly.

Features to Look for in a Driveaway Awning

1. Attachment Height Compatibility

Ensure the awning fits your campervan attachment height. OLPRO’s driveaway awnings cater to campervans with attachment heights between 180 cm and 250 cm, making them suitable for most low-to-mid-top campervans.

2. Inflatable vs. Pole Awnings

• Inflatable Awnings: Easy to set up and lightweight, OLPRO’s Breeze models feature air beams that inflate in minutes.
• Pole Awnings: More traditional and often more affordable, but require manual assembly.

3. Size and Layout

Consider how much space you need. OLPRO offers a range of sizes and layouts to suit different camping styles:

• Cubo Breeze V2: Compact and practical for couples or solo travellers.
• Loopo Breeze V2: Mid-sized and versatile for families.
• Cocoon Breeze V2: Spacious and luxurious, perfect for larger groups.

4. Weatherproofing

Look for awnings made from durable, waterproof materials with features like taped seams and reinforced panels. OLPRO’s awnings are built to handle all weather conditions.

5. Ventilation and Light

Good ventilation and large windows ensure a comfortable interior. Many OLPRO awnings also include skylights for added natural light.
