What We Liked A caravan awning is attached to the caravan via a ‘C’ channel awning rail which runs the length of the caravan. Some of the awning’s poles need to be attached to the caravan to make the structure rigid. This actually makes the awning part of the caravan so the awning is not freestanding like a drive away awning. Remove the caravan and the awning would collapse. The groundsheet is not attached to the awning, so there are gaps around the sides. This means it’s not as effective in keeping out the weather, draughts, or insects. When your campervan space is limited, or if you want a cooler night’s sleep than your van offers, an awning could be a handy addition to your setup.
