Show Us Your Awning Setup.

I am thinking this is the Vango Palm awning?? If it is, how are you finding it?? Do you find it huge compared to the van??
I want one where the van is the main feature and the awning is just like a "porch" idea but with a drive-away feature.

Also, does it seem like quite good quality??

Thanks for any replies.

It’s one of the smaller ones of the range, and it worked well for storage, struggled to fit both chairs in it. (We have big chairs) but I think it works if that’s what you’re looking for, I wouldn’t want any smaller out it that way!!

quality wise, it’s came with a small tear in it between the ground sheet and the side wall (stitching has pulled away basically)

But we do like it ! Going to buy a canopy for the short stays and day trips!

Awesome. Thanks for the reply.
Not that we do this because we don't want anyone to steal our alcohol but when we go to festivals, we store beer in the awning to free up room in our van. Van now bigger but will probably still store beer outside. Seems to be a little cooler.

Funny you say that, we was in Cornwall two weeks ago, in some good heat, and the awning was warmer than inside the van! (Mainly noticed first thing in the morning waking up , and the sun had already heated the awning up whereas the van stayed cool

This is my first pass using a Kiravan Sail, set up in my garden just as it started to rain

Awning rail finally fitted after significant issues of snapped bolts and cross threaded washers. Lots of learning there!!

Thanks to @Deaky for his help.

Vango Galli Low using a Reimo awning rail. Piece of cake to pitch even on your own in a stiff seaside breeze.

Thanks to the positive comments in this thread we went for the Khyam classic pro awning and am very pleased, seems quick and easy so far and stood up to a proper downpour in York over the weekend.

How do you cross thread a washer?!

How do you cross thread a washer?!

when the van had the rails fitted the tech cross threaded the bolt and smashed the threads of the washer. Got a tap n die kit and re threaded it. Boom job done

Are you feeding in to the national grid with that solar set up?

First time I've used the Outdoor Revolution I brought last year, not the easiest thing to set up and not helped by having the worst set of instructions I've ever seen. But once it's set up it does a good job of keeping the rain off you.

The Kyham awning now sitting nicely straight and true. Very pleased.

Two leisure batteries and two solar controllers. One being a smart Victron as recommended on the forum and I have to say it really is a great piece of kit. Always checking the app to see how it’s performing


Powers two Waeco compressor fridges, all the usual phones etc
Even managed to power a mini projector for the kids on a wet evening.

Loving the screen cover

Another vote for the Kampa touring air for longer stays, just bought an outwell touring canopy large for quick stops as well.
Both great bits of kit.

Vango Kela 5, great bit of kit.

Hi guys I’m looking at getting a kiravans railsail for my long wheel base t6 and I’m wondering if the length will be ok for lwb as they are designed to fit swb vans. I realise it will fit but just wondering if anyone uses one with a long wheel base and thinks it’s sufficient tia
