THE BENEFITS OF CAMPERVAN AWNINGS

Let’s start by going through the advantages of fitting a campervan awning. When do they come in handy? Why do they help? Keep reading to find out.

1. Space

Whether you enjoy frequent camping trips or you’ve made the transition to full-time van life, you can’t deny that space is a premium onboard.

The biggest perk of a van awning is that it literally doubles your living space in just a few seconds. It’s like having a whole new room to spend time in.

2. Shelter

Need a place to escape the scorching sun? Want to spread out some folding chairs, relax, and enjoy the view? Ready to share a meal, play some board games, or read your favourite book?

With a campervan awning, it doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing. You don’t have to retreat inside if it’s too sunny or starts to rain.

Assuming it isn’t too windy and your awning’s fit-for-purpose, you can stay outside and simply take shelter under the awning instead.

3. Fun Outdoor Opportunities

The possibilities with your extra space are endless too.

For example, if you have some guests joining you, they can roll out their sleeping bags and have their own place to call ‘home.’

And if you want to enjoy the sunrise while you brew your morning cup of coffee, you can step outside and still have a “roof” over your head.

4. Extra Functionality

Awnings for campervans are more than just a roof though.

Some models act more like tents, with drop-down flaps or mosquito nets to keep those biting critters away.

This can also help to keep you (and whatever belongings you have outside) drier if there’s rain, fog, mist, or light snow.

Something else I appreciate about campervan awnings is the ability to be ‘outside’ and still have everything I need within arm’s reach, inside the van.

All told, if you’ve been looking for the best gadgets to enhance your campervan lifestyle, then this one belongs at the top of your list!
