The Active range is designed to have a modern lifestyle look. They are designed to have a small pack size and be quick and easy to pitch for the Campervan owners that like to move frequently. They feature Alloy Poles to help keep the weight down

The Outwell Sandcrest L is a tailgate awing to fit Van based conversions like VW Transporters/Mercedes Vitos with an attachment height on 175 -205cm. It is NOT a driveaway awning.

It has clips to allow attachment to the vehicle wheel and rear headrests to help with the fitting to the vehicle. The front door can be extended onto canopy poles to make a sun canopy.

The tunnel section as been well thought out to enable the tunnel to be clipped onto the vehicles wheels to help get a better fit and the awning can remain in place with the tailgate closed

What the manufacturer says:-

Couples, families and friends will all appreciate the value of the extra space the ingenious Outwell Sandcrest L delivers for more comfortable van life. As a rear-mounted, fixed awning, with just one aluminium pole, it´s really light, packs away small and vehicle doors aren’t blocked by guylines. It’s designed for busses and vans like the VW T6, MB W447, Peugeot Traveller and similar. It’s perfect for camping and day trip use for cooking, as a day shelter or changing room. The smart design allows you to close and lock the tailgate securely when you head off on a hike or bike adventure or leave it open through the night whilst you secure your van rear with its insect-proof screen for great ventilation. As a bonus, you can raise the door as a shade canopy (poles not included) when fixing your bike or recharging your battery after your outdoor excursions.
