Caravan Awnings

Whether you are looking for a simple caravan awning, or a large one, you will find a great deal of options on the market. There are inflatable air awnings, porch awnings, and even wall and roof awnings.

Porch awnings

Using porch awnings for caravans is a great way to add extra space to your caravan and create a comfortable place to sit or relax. These awnings are easy to put up and disassemble and come in a range of different designs and materials. They are also ideal for storage, especially for larger camping items.

Porch awnings for caravans are lightweight and are easy to store away. They are designed to provide protection from the sun and wind, and are perfect for enjoying the outdoors in cool weather.

Porch awnings are easy to set up, and can be set up in 15 minutes or less. They provide a great area to sit and relax with a barbecue or to dry off wet clothes.

Inflatable air awnings

Whether you’re looking for a new caravan awning or simply want to add one to your existing campervan, there are plenty of inflatable air caravan awnings to choose from. Aside from being lighter and quicker to erect, these awnings can be converted into a sleeping space, giving you more space for storage.

While there are several advantages to buying an inflatable awning, they can be expensive and may require some extra insurance. They’re also not as common as other awnings. You may need to see a display awning first to decide whether they’re right for you.

As you can see, inflatable air caravan awnings aren’t as common as traditional poled awnings. Nevertheless, they are growing in popularity. There are several top brands offering a wide selection of models.

Ratchet straps

Using a ratchet strap for your caravan awning is an easy way to make sure your awning will be safe and secure. There are many options to choose from including the ubiquitous rubber straps or a slicker strapped up variant. Some manufacturers even provide optional awning tie down kits that use a proprietary track system to secure the awning in place.

The JR Products 25 Foot RV Awning Tie Down is a worthy contender in the caravan awning tie down space. It’s a nifty little kit that’s easy to install and a pleasure to use. The straps are well thought out with built in ratchets, quick release clasps, and a built in sling. It’s easy to see why this particular kit is so popular with RV owners.

Tensioning

Using a caravan awning tensioner from Kakadu Annexes to keep your awning taut is a must if you want to avoid annoying flapping noises and the associated damage. These devices are made from durable, weatherproof, heavy-duty materials that are able to stand up to the rigors of the road. They are not only a good way to keep your awning taut, but they also prevent rips and tears.

The most important thing to keep in mind when using an awning tensioner is that you shouldn’t tighten the leg spring too much. It is also a good idea to roll the awning over to check for tightness. A small step ladder will come in handy when lifting the awning off the ground.

PerfectWall PW1500

Whether you’re looking for a reliable awning to keep you cool in the summer, or to keep your home or office looking slick in the rain, the Dometic PerfectWall PW1500 awning will do the job in style. Ample space to store your outdoor paraphernalia, the PW1500 also features a telescopic crank handle for easier winding, and comes complete with brackets for the Volkswagen T5 or T6 campervans. With its robust one piece fabric and heavy impact resistance, the PW1500 stands up to the rigors of travel, while keeping you cool under the sun.

The PerfectWall PW1500 isn’t the only one in the Dometic line up. For example, the PW 1500 is also available in a plethora of widths, lengths and colours.

PerfectRoof PW2500

Buying caravan awnings is a great way to expand your living space in the caravan. They offer protection from the elements and are perfect for any travel condition. Unfortunately, they can be quite expensive. The good news is that many models are fairly easy to set up and pack away. You can find a wide range of caravan awnings in Australia, and many of them come with easy to follow instructions.

The Domestic PerfectRoof PR2500 is a lightweight, robust, and compact roof-mounted awning. Its end caps are made from 100% aluminum, providing extra shock and water resistance. It is also available with an integrated 12 V motor and manual override for emergency operation.
