Our Opinion:-
The Newburg 260 is based on the Scenic Road of last year. The Newburg 260 is a Poled Tunnel style awning. featuring Outwell's Duratec Fibreglass poles offering a stronger fibreglass pole compared to the standard Pole.
The design features a vertical front door with a nice sized extended canopy, making it ideal for the British climate as the front door has protection from the rain and Sun. There is nothing worst than having to mop up the water from your sewn-in groundsheet every time to open the front door. Why so many manufacturers insist on sloping awning sides with doors and not providing at least one rain safe door. The Outwell Newburg 260 feature Outwells Outtex 3000 polyester flysheet
Full mesh windows to the front door to give good ventilation and keep bugs at bay, Tinted Windows, to reduce UV, heat & Glare and a sewn-in groundsheet. Outwell awnings also feature their Link Access System which provides a groundsheet for the tunnel section of the awning with a valance to close the gap under the vehicle and help keep out draughts.
The Newburg 260 has the option of a 2 berth inner tent to accommodate extra guests
We would always stress that the Tunnel section of a driveaway awning is only ever a sheltered entrance and will never be draught free. Remember that unlike a caravan awning, driveaway awnings have front and back doors that can be zipped up and this is the weatherproof section of the awning.
Drive-away tent awning for motorhomes, vans and MPVs with attachment height of 170 cm-200 cm.
What the manufacturer says:-
