The best motorhome awning is…

Kampa Sprint Air

Designed mainly for campervans, Kampa’s new drive-away awning should take much of the hassle out of giving you just that little bit more living space.

It’s lightweight, at just over 12kg, so it should be easy for anyone to lug around, yet it’s made of fully waterproof 68D denier. It’s easy to assemble with multiple inflation point air poles, and the large windows either side should bring plenty of light into the interior. Doors in the tunnel make it easy for anyone to access the get out of the camper van quickly too.

Although the main awning body is only 1.5m deep, and wet weather canopy adds and extra 90cm, so you could leave muddy shoes and other items out there and the would stay safely out of the wet.

Kampa has made taking the awning on and off your campervan that little bit easier too, with a dual keder fitting that matches both 4mm and 6mm awning rails.
