Vango Faros III Air Low - 2024 Model

Our Opinion:-

To help keep the Faros III Air Low a Small, lightweight driveaway awning Vango has used its Sentinel Active polyester fabric. Sentinel Active 150D Polyester, with a hydrostatic rating of 4,000MM. The Fabric also incorporates Vango's ColourLok™ Eco technology to aid colour retention. Designed as a strong lightweight polyester . The groundsheet is a Sewn in groundsheet

The Faros III Air Low still features Vangos TBS II system which is patented to Vango and increase the awnings performance in windy conditions. TBS is basically a system of straps and buckles that you can clip in place internally to give additional stability to the awning.

The windows are large clear PVC with toggle up blinds for privacy

Although designed as a lighter-weight value for money driveaway Awning the Faros III Air Low is not short of features. When space is at a premium in a smaller campervan conversion then the Faros II Air Low is worth considering.
