The majority of driveaway awnings are designed to fit Mid sized van based conversions.
The choose of awning will depend on style and budget.
These type of vehicle are generally the easiest to fix a driveaway awning to.
You need to choose the fixing method most suited to your vehicle.
Does the vehicle have a gutter.
Is there sufficient clearance to fix a fig 8 strip (High Tops and elevating roofs tend to be fitted into the gutter trough and can prevent fig 8 strips fitting onto the gutter. Some older VW's also have a shallow gutter or have chrome or plastic moldings fitted over the gutter, again preventing the fig 8 strip fitting).
3. Another method for vehicles with gutters is to use a pole and clamp. The majority of awnings have a pole sleeve sewn into the tunnel roof. The pole is inserted into the sleeve, positioned in the vehicle gutter and held in place by the clamps
4. For Vehicles with no gutter or awning rail. Both can be fitted, but this does involve some drilling of the vehicle. There are still fixing options available that do not require the above
5. Vehicles with roof racks- The roof rack can often be utilised to attach either an awning pole or guy lines to attach the awning tunnel to the vehicle.
6. Dent Pullers or suction cups can be used to attach the awning provided you have a suitable shiny surface to attach them. You then attach the awning using poles or guy lines.
7. Lastly use straps attached to the awning tunnel, taken over the roof of the vehicle and pegged down on the other side.
