The Vango Faros III Air Mid Driveaway Awning gives you proper living space without the hassle of traditional pole systems. It uses Vango's AirBeam technology, which means you're pumping it up with the included pressure gauge pump rather than threading fibreglass poles through sleeves. Takes about 10-15 minutes once you've done it a few times. The 150D Sentinel Active fabric has a 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating, so it handles proper British rain without letting water through. ColourLok Efficient treatment stops the fabric bleaching in the sun, which matters if you're touring regularly. You get a sewn-in groundsheet that keeps draughts and midges out, Diamond Clear windows for decent plant-based light, and the TBS II Tension Band System that braces the beams at three points when it's windy. At 13.8kg and packing into an oversized carry bag, it fits in most motorhomes and campervans without taking over your storage locker.
What makes this work for actual touring is the roll-away connecting tunnel. You disconnect from your vehicle in the morning, roll back the tunnel and toggle it secure, then drive off while the awning stays pitched. When you get back, you park in the same spot and re-attach. The tunnel has two access doors, so you're not climbing through the main living area every time you need something from the van. It attaches to any vehicle through pre-fitted 6mm kador beading for awning rails, 8-metre over-vehicle straps for vans without rails, roof bar tabs, and a sleeve for pole and clamp systems. Works with Fiat Ducato-based motorhomes, VW Californias, Hymers, self-converted vans, pretty much anything. You get steel pegs, the mesh front door stops bugs getting in while you're ventilating, and there are lantern hanging points plus the SkyTrack II system for adding lights or storage. It's built for regular weekend trips and touring holidays rather than being left pitched for weeks, which keeps the fabric in decent condition for years of use.
