Camper awnings are very useful accessories for extending the living space outside the vehicle, creating a shaded area or shelter from wind and rain. These structures offer additional comfort during stops, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors more comfortably.
Main features of camper verandas :
Durable materials :
Camper awnings are made of materials such as polyester , nylon , or PVC , which are resistant to water, UV rays, and variable weather conditions. Some models are treated with stain-resistant and waterproofing to ensure the awning stands the test of time and maintains its functionality.
Ease of assembly :
Camper awnings are designed to be easily assembled, often quickly and without the need for complicated tools. The most modern systems feature inflatable or tunnel structures, which allow for quick assembly in just a few minutes.
Additional outdoor space :
Porches are ideal for creating a sheltered area, but also for storing items like camping gear, bicycles, or tables and chairs. Some porches, with side walls, can be used as additional sleeping or activity spaces.
Ventilation and wind resistance :
Awnings are designed with side openings or windows to ensure good air circulation, preventing overheating. Some models feature reinforced walls or side supports for greater stability in strong winds.
Sun and wind protection :
In addition to providing protection from the sun, verandas offer protection from wind and dust, creating a more comfortable area in which to eat, relax, or socialize without being disturbed by the elements.
Modular design :
Some camper awning models are modular , allowing you to add or remove parts as needed. For example, you can add side walls or curtains to increase privacy or better protect from wind and rain.
Types of camper awnings :
Side verandas :
Side awnings are mounted on the side of the camper and extend to create shade. They can be fixed or awning-style, and can have removable sidewalls for added protection.
Tunnel verandas :
Tunnel awnings are very similar to small tents, connected to the camper via a support structure. This type is ideal for those who need more space and want complete protection.
Inflatable verandas :
Inflatable awnings are among the latest innovations in camper accessories. Instead of a rigid tube structure, they inflate using a pump to form a solid and stable structure. They are lightweight, easy to assemble, and ideal for those seeking practicality.
Verandas with side walls :
Some awnings come with removable or windowed sidewalls that can be lowered for added ventilation or raised for added privacy and protection from wind and rain.
Direct attack verandas :
These awnings are designed to be mounted directly to the side of the camper using the vehicle's brackets or attachment system. They are particularly useful for those looking for a compact, integrated solution.
Advantages of camper verandas :
Expanding your living space : They offer a shaded and protected outdoor area where you can eat, rest, cook or do other activities without having to stay inside the camper.
Weather Protection : They create a safe space against rain, wind and sun, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors in all weather conditions.
Ease of assembly : Modern models are quick to install and disassemble, allowing you to set up your outdoor space in just a few minutes.
Privacy : Porches with side walls or curtains offer more privacy than a simple open porch.
Practicality and comfort : They can be used to store equipment, such as tables, chairs, or even bicycles, and allow you to cook outdoors without any problems.
