Why we absolutely recommend the Drive Van awning from Vaude?
No matter how big your bus is, the awning fits perfectly on a van and also on a minivan. Whether at the rear or on the side sliding door or even free-standing, the choice is yours. Because with this tent, you are not restricted in any way:
The canopy, for example, which you attach directly to your van, is also perfect. This means you are also protected in the rain when you get out of the side of the bus or stand underneath it at the rear, e.g. at a rear kitchen.
The Vaude X-Drive tent is also very spacious. It offers an enormous amount of space to stay comfortable even in cold and rainy weather. The external dimensions are L 375 x W 335 cm.
You can also use it perfectly as a changing room. Even tall people can stand upright without restriction with a „room height“ of 230 cm in the middle.
Another feature is the second door on the opposite side. This means that the tent can be used as a direct passageway like a tunnel and does not have to be removed if it is very close to the vehicle.
If you also want to spend the night in the tent because there is not enough sleeping space for all passengers in the van, for example, or the kids want their own „room“, we also offer the right mosquito-proof tent in our store. Inner tent from VAUDE. It divides the tent into sleeping and living/storage space. The matching Floor can also be found in our store.
This special tent meets all our requirements: Knowing how, you can use it in set up and dismantle on your own in a very short time. You can see it for yourself in our assembly video below.
Through his low weight ( 7 kg ), it can be easily stowed away and moved to another location at any time. (Rear, side, reparking...)
It is very important that a tent is always self-standing so that you can work with your van without having to dismantle or stow everything away again. The tent remains standing and not only reserves the pitch for you, but you can also simply leave tables and chairs in it - the tent can be closed all the way round.
Furthermore, the tent is characterized by its Small pack size ( 60 cm x 20 cm ) very easy to stow in the vehicle.
The manufacturer VAUDE stands for the highest quality and sustainability. We therefore find the price reasonable for the tent.
In our opinion, inflatable tents have many disadvantages: In addition to an often very high purchase price, inflatable tents need to be extremely well guyed and, contrary to popular belief, the set-up time is not any shorter; it takes quite a while until the tubes are filled with air. In addition, you are dependent on electricity, as inflating with a manual foot pump is very time-consuming and laborious.
By the way, we also offer VAUDE tents specially designed for two people. Just take a look in our store. And if you have any questions, please get in touch at any time.
