An excellent space to spend time with friends and family, the Vango Kela Air TC driveaway awning inflates in just a few minutes. The Kela model is an award-winning awning, made so popular by its compact size whilst remaining versatile enough to attach a bedroom, be used as a social space or for storage.
Attaching effortlessly to the side of your campervan, the Kela has four attachment options (pre-attached 6mm kador, over-vehicle straps, roof bar attachment tabs and a sleeve for an optional pole and clamp kit), and the tunnel space creates the ideal storage space or connecting corridor, keeping your awning and vehicle clean and dry.
The awning has been created using Sentinel Eco TC fabric, made out of polyester from recycled bottles and environmentally friendly farmed cotton, for a luxurious and durable awning that is eco-friendly. This is all part of Vango’s environmental and sustainability goals, which also includes extending the life of camping products, along with other things.
Small AirBeams between the main tubes ensure a stable awning, too; it’s been tested to EN5912 standards for wind and rain.
Inside, the space is bright and airy thanks to diamond clear windows and skylights along the roofline. Also, you get the flexibility of the SkyTrack system, allowing you to attach optional lighting, storage or liners (with hooks included). High and low-level ventilation creates airflow throughout the awning, minimising the levels of condensation.
Then when it comes to packing it away, an oversized bag makes things easier.
Whatever your adventure, the Kela will be there at the end of the day.

The new Vango Galli Pro Air driveaway awning is ideal for anyone who wants a large and versatile space on their outdoor holiday. The awning boasts the option of space for two bedroom inner tents.
The awning can be inflated in a matter of minutes so you’ve more time to enjoy your adventures. The Sentinel Eco Pro fabric, made using recycled materials, is perfect for touring with your vehicle. Facing the same direction as your vehicle, with a pre-attached front canopy, the Galli also makes an excellent space to sit outside and enjoy the views in your surroundings.
It’s also made even easier with multiple attachment options, and the roll-away tunnel allows you to drive away, leaving your awning free-standing. Plus, it’s available in three connection heights (Low, Mid and Tall) to suit the majority of campervans and motorhomes.

The Vango Hexaway Pro Air awning creates a spacious living room-style extension to your vehicle. The hexagonal design ensures you can maximise space when spending time with your family and friends.
The Sentinel Eco Pro fabric, made using recycled materials, is perfect for touring with your vehicle and the single inflation system is quick and easy to both erect and deflate. The connecting tunnel is easily rolled away if you’re adventuring for the day and features two side entrance doors for easy access.
Alternating Diamond Clear and mesh windows get zipped privacy curtains, and skylights enhance the daytime illumination and allow for stargazing at night. As with the other Vango driveaway awning products, it’s been fully rain and wind tested and has a larger than needed bag to pack it away more easily.
