How Do I Choose the Right Motorhome Awning?

Adding an awning to your motorhome is one of the best ways to enhance your camping experience. A well-chosen awning provides additional living space, shelter, and comfort, turning your motorhome into a true home away from home. However, with so many options available, choosing the right motorhome awning can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you navigate the decision-making process and highlight why OLPRO’s range of high-quality awnings, including the Cubo XL, Loopo Breeze V2 XL, and Cocoon Breeze V2 XL, are excellent choices.

What to Consider When Choosing a Motorhome Awning

1. Attachment Height

The first step in selecting an awning is ensuring it’s compatible with your motorhome’s attachment height. Measure the distance from the ground to the awning rail to find the correct range.

• OLPRO Compatibility: OLPRO’s driveaway awnings, such as the XL Breeze range, fit attachment heights of 250cm to 290cm, making them suitable for most motorhomes.

2. Size and Space Requirements

Consider how much extra space you need and how you plan to use the awning.

• Compact Options: For smaller setups, the Cubo XL provides a spacious but manageable solution, perfect for extra storage or a dining area.
• Large Options: For families or groups, the Cocoon Breeze V2 XL offers expansive living space with room for additional sleeping compartments.
• Pro Tip: Always ensure your campsite has enough room to pitch the awning you choose.

3. Type of Awning

There are several types of motorhome awnings to choose from, each catering to different needs:

• Driveaway Awnings: Ideal for campers who want to leave the awning in place while using their motorhome. OLPRO specialises in high-quality driveaway awnings that combine convenience and durability.
• Canopy Awnings: Great for shade but offer less enclosed space.
• Inflatable Awnings: Easy to set up, lightweight, and durable. All OLPRO Breeze models feature inflatable air beams for quick pitching.

4. Ease of Setup

Inflatable awnings like OLPRO’s Breeze range are incredibly easy to set up, making them perfect for solo travellers or families. Traditional pole awnings may require more time and effort to pitch.
