Vango Faros III Air Mid Driveaway Awning 2026

Expand Your Campervan with the Faros 3 Compact Touring Shelter by Vango

Maximise the comfort and practicality of your campervan or motorhome with the Vango Faros III Air Mid Driveaway Awning. Designed as the most space-efficient model in the Vango lineup, this awning is the ideal companion for tourers and weekend adventurers who need extra room for gear, relaxation, or dining without the bulk. It transforms your vehicle into a more functional basecamp, providing a sheltered, bug-free area that feels like a natural extension of your living space.

Engineered for Simple and Fast Setup

Gone are the days of complex pole frameworks. This awning utilises Vango's decade of innovation in AirBeam® technology. The inflatable beam structure allows you to achieve a fully pitched, sturdy awning in roughly 8 minutes. An ergonomic pump with a pressure gauge is supplied, making inflation straightforward and ensuring the correct rigidity for a safe setup every time. This pole-free system is not only faster but also eliminates the risk of broken poles, offering a more reliable solution for frequent touring.

Built to Withstand the Great British Weather

Constructed to offer dependable shelter, the Faros III Air Mid is made from Sentinel Active 150D fabric. This double-ripstop polyester provides a strong yet lightweight build, featuring a high 4000mm hydrostatic head rating for assured waterproofing in sustained rain. For added resilience in changeable conditions, it incorporates Vango's patented TBS®II (Tension Band System), which braces the structure at three points to prevent sideways movement in strong winds. A supplementary fibreglass bracer pole is also included to enhance frame stability further when pitched.

Thoughtful Design for Comfort and Convenience

Every detail is considered to improve your camping experience. The awning features Diamond Clear windows that maximise natural light, creating a bright and airy interior atmosphere. For privacy and shade, convenient toggled curtains are fitted to all windows. A sewn-in groundsheet provides a clean, draught and insect-free floor, while multiple ventilation panels and a mesh-fronted door promote a comfortable airflow to minimise condensation. Practical touches include easy-flat access doors for wheelchair or pram access, clear visibility guylines for safety, and internal lantern hanging points.

Versatile Attachment and Customisable Space

The awning is designed for universal compatibility. this Vango Faros Driveaway Awning comes with multiple pre-attached connection methods: a 6mm kador strip for awning rails, 8-metre over-vehicle straps, roof bar tabs, and a sleeve for a traditional pole and clamp kit. This ensures a secure fit to a wide range of vehicles from VW Transporters to larger motorhomes with a Mid connection height of 215-255cm. Inside, the innovative SkyTrack® II system runs along the beams, offering a flexible hanging track for Vango's SkyStorage organisers or LED lighting like the Sunbeam Flexi lights, allowing you to tailor your storage and ambience.

The Practicalities of Drive-Away Touring

As a dedicated drive-away awning, it offers unparalleled flexibility. When you need to use your vehicle, you can simply detach the tunnel from your van using a drive-away kit (sold separately), roll it up, and secure it with the provided toggle. Your awning remains securely pitched on your campsite, ready for your return. It is important to note that this awning is engineered for touring and frequent holiday use. While durable, it is not intended for static, long-term seasonal pitching, as prolonged UV exposure can accelerate fabric wear.
