The cost of awnings varies depending on the brand, size, and features. At Camping World, prices range from around 100 for basic models to over 1,000 for premium options.  At Camping World we offer budget-friendly choices and high-end models from brands like Telta provide advanced features and superior materials.

Awnings are external structures that attach to the side of campervans, caravans, or motorhomes, providing additional sheltered space. They are used to create extra living, dining, or storage areas, enhancing comfort and convenience while camping. Awnings come in various types, such as porch, drive-away, and full awnings, each designed to suit different vehicle types and camping needs.

Drive-away awnings are designed to be easily detached from your campervan or motorhome, allowing you to drive away while leaving the awning in place. They feature a connection system, typically using a tunnel or straps, that secures the awning to the vehicle. When you’re ready to drive off, you simply disconnect the awning, leaving it free-standing at your campsite, and reattach it when you return.

Our range includes several top-rated 6-man tents ideal for family camping, featuring spacious interiors, durable materials, and easy setup. Some popular options include tunnel and dome-style tents that offer extra living space.

Awnings are typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as polyester, polycotton, or PVC. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand the elements, including UV rays, rain, and wind. High-quality awnings from brands like Outdoor Revolution and Camptech also feature reinforced stitching, waterproof coatings, and sturdy frames to ensure longevity and reliability in various weather conditions.

1. Prepare the Area

Select a Level Ground: Choose a flat and clear area for setting up your awning.

Unpack and Organize: Unpack the awning components and lay them out neatly. Familiarize yourself with the different parts.

2. Attach the Awning to Your Caravan or Motorhome

Slide the Awning into the Rail: Find the awning rail on your caravan or motorhome and slide the awning canvas into the rail. Make sure it's centered and correctly positioned.

3. Assemble the Frame

Identify the Poles: Lay out the poles and identify which ones go where. Isabella awnings usually have color-coded or numbered poles.

Connect the Main Poles: Start by assembling the main horizontal and vertical poles that form the basic structure of the awning.

Extend and Lock: Extend the poles to their correct lengths and lock them in place.

4. Erect the Frame

Attach the Roof Poles: Insert the roof poles into the sleeves of the awning fabric and connect them to the main frame.

Adjust the Tension: Use the tension adjusters on the poles to make sure the awning fabric is taut and wrinkle-free.

5. Secure the Awning

Peg Down the Corners: Starting from one corner, peg down the awning securely using the supplied pegs. Make sure to pull the fabric taut before pegging each corner.

Add Additional Pegs: Secure the rest of the awning by adding pegs at regular intervals around the perimeter.

6. Attach the Side Panels

Zip on the Panels: If your awning comes with side panels, zip them onto the main awning fabric.

Secure the Panels: Use additional poles and pegs to secure the side panels, ensuring they are tight and stable.

7. Final Adjustments

Check Stability: Walk around the awning and check for any loose areas. Tighten poles and pegs as necessary.

Add Guy Ropes: For extra stability, attach and secure guy ropes to the awning and peg them into the ground.Unpack and Organize: Unpack the awning components and lay them out neatly. Familiarise yourself with the different parts.

1. Prepare the Curtains

Unpack and Identify: Unpack the curtains and identify which ones go on the front and which ones on the side panels. Isabella curtains are usually labeled or have different patterns for easy identification.

Attach Hooks: Attach the curtain hooks to the top of each curtain. These hooks will be used to hang the curtains on the rail.

2. Install Curtain Rails (if not already installed)

Check Rails: Ensure that the curtain rails are already installed in your awning. If not, refer to your awning's manual for instructions on how to install the curtain rails.

Attach Runners: Insert the curtain rail clips or runners into the rail if they are not already in place.

3. Hang the Curtains

Start at One End: Starting at one end of the rail, attach the first curtain hook to the first clip or runner.

Continue Along the Rail: Continue attaching each hook to a clip or runner along the rail. Make sure the curtains slide easily along the rail.

Evenly Spaced: Ensure the hooks are evenly spaced for a neat appearance. Isabella curtains often come with pre-spaced hooks, but adjust if necessary.

4. Adjust the Curtains

Check for Smooth Movement: Once all the curtains are hung, slide them back and forth to ensure they move smoothly along the rail.

Adjust Length: Adjust the bottom of the curtains to ensure they hang evenly. Some models may allow you to adjust the height of the rail slightly if needed.

5. Secure the Bottom of the Curtains (if applicable)

Tiebacks: Use the provided tiebacks to secure the curtains when they are open. Tiebacks usually attach to hooks or loops on the awning sides.

Weights or Clips: Some curtains come with weights or clips at the bottom to prevent them from flapping in the wind. Attach these as needed.
