Lightweight, Compact, and Waterproof:The Vango Cove awning boasts an impressive combination of lightweight construction and compact design, making it incredibly easy to transport and set up. It’s classed as a lightweight polysester touring awning. Polyester fabric is commonly used in the production of drive away awnings due to its lightweight and compact nature, making it ideal for touring campers. It offers convenience and portability, so it’s ideal for those shorter trips away. What Vehicle Is It For? The Vango Cove is designed for Vans and motorhomes with an awning rail height of 180-210cm. This is classed as a low awning so is perfect for VW Transporters and similar height vehicles. It also comes with multiple vehicle attachment methods. All Vango awnings come with pre attached 6mm kador, 8M over vehicle straps, roof bar attachment tabs and sleeve for pole & clamp kit system. This ensures our awnings are compatible with any vehicle How Does It Handle The Weather? The Vango Cove polyester fabric has a 70 Denier rating. Denier is the measurement of how thick the fibres are that make up the fabric. 70 Denier is the entry level fabric for drive away awnings, so is ideal for summer touring and short trips. The compromise is this, lower Denier fabrics make the awning lightweight and compact however aren’t as durable and suited to the colder months as higher Denier awnings. If you’re wanting something you can use through the winter months and for longer trips away then it might be worth considering an awing with a higher Denier. The Faros will serve perfect for those who want to primarily use it over the warmer months for shorter breaks Rain The Vango Cove has a hydrostatic head rating of 3000MM. Hydrostatic head is a measurement of how waterproof a fabric is. A rating of 3000MM is very good as anything 3000MM and above can handle pretty much any rain Europe can throw at it. I recently went on a camping trip to the lake district with a friend who has the Vango Faros drive away awning which also has a 70 Denier tating and a 3000mm Hydrostatic Head. The Lake District of course provided us with some heavy downpours and the Faros stayed completely dry and comfortable even during the heavy rain showers. Both the Vango Cove and Faros weatherproofing capabilities allow you to explore the outdoors without worrying about unpredictable weather conditions.The Vango Cove also has a sewn in groundsheet which provides a bug and draught free environment, enhancing comfort and protection against the elements. The external storm skirt offered all round protection which also came in very handy while camping in the Lakes! Wind The Vango Cove comes with a TBSII (Tension Band System). This is anther great piece of technology Vango have created and patented. This will prove to be a lifesaver during adverse weather conditions, particularly strong, changeable winds
