Comet Vw T5/t6 Tailgate Awning

If you've ever wrestled with traditional awning poles while rain's threatening and you just want to crack on with your weekend, the Brunner Comet's frameless design will feel like proper freedom. This tailgate awning attaches directly to your VW T5 or T6's vertical tailgate without the usual faff of threading poles through sleeves or assembling complicated frame structures. You drape it over your open tailgate, secure it with the included fittings, position two vertical support poles and you're done in about five minutes. At 5.1kg and packing down to 63 x 18cm, it lives permanently in your van without eating into storage space you'd rather use for bikes or camping gear. The 150D Oxford Polyester fabric carries a 3000mm waterproof rating, which handles typical British weather without drama. Inside you get 200 x 200cm of floor space with 205cm standing height, enough room for a double air mattress, bike storage or a proper cooking area where you're not hunched over your stove. The Comet works exclusively with vertical tailgates on VW T5, T6 and T6.1 models. If you've got barn doors, this won't fit. Two large entrance doors mean you're not restricted to one entry point, and three mesh windows with roll-down blinds create decent cross-ventilation during summer trips while keeping midges out. The awning relies on your tailgate staying open for structural support, so you can't close up the van while it's attached. Everything needed comes in the box: fittings, vertical poles, pegs and a carry bag. It's worth noting you'll need to remove any tailgate-mounted bike racks before setup, as the awning needs a clear tailgate to attach properly. For VW owners who prioritize quick setup over traditional awning features, the Comet delivers exactly what it promises without unnecessary complications.
