A good sun canopy turns your campervan or motorhome into a proper outdoor living space in minutes — shade when the sun's out, shelter when it isn't, and no need to set up a full drive-away awning. Whether you're parked up on a Cornish beach, pitched on a campsite near Newquay, or heading to a festival on Dartmoor, Easy Camp's canopy range covers every budget and use case.
We stock all four Easy Camp canopies at Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists, serving campervan and motorhome owners across Cornwall, Devon, and the South West.
Easy Camp Voss Canopy — £42.99
The most compact and affordable of the range — and the one most campervan owners in Cornwall reach for first. At 2.3kg in a 65 × 12cm bag, it slides under a seat and stays there until you need it. Attaches via dual kador beading (5mm + 7mm included, covering standard and wind-out rails) or guylines over the roof if your van doesn't have a rail. Two 19mm steel poles, twin high-visibility guylines, and integrated side flaps that improve stability in wind and extend the shade area sideways — particularly useful on Cornwall's exposed coastal pitches. WeatherGuard 3000 flysheet — 3000mm rated, taped seams, fire retardant. Under 5 minutes to pitch.
| Roof connection | 260cm | Attachment height | 150–260cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bead | 5mm + 7mm | Weight | 2.3kg |
| Pack size | 65 × 12cm | Waterproof | 3000mm |
Best for: Permanent van kit for Cornwall beach days, coastal campsites, and spontaneous stops. Lightweight, dual bead, side flaps — best value in the range.
Easy Camp Flex Canopy — £83.99
The mid-range option. Same 260cm roof connection and 150–260cm attachment height as the Voss, but adds cross-braced fibreglass poles that raise the centre height under tension — noticeably more headroom, no fabric sag in the middle. Twin sectional steel uprights, height adjustable 150–200cm. 3.8kg in a 77 × 11cm pack. 7mm kador bead.
| Roof connection | 260cm | Attachment height | 150–260cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bead | 7mm | Weight | 3.8kg |
| Pack size | 77 × 11cm | Waterproof | 3000mm |
Best for: Motorhome owners who want more headroom and a more structured canopy than the Voss — ideal for longer stays on South West campsites where you're cooking and eating outside regularly.
Easy Camp Stryn Canopy — £109.99
The premium traditional canopy. Same spec as the Flex — cross-braced fibreglass poles, 260cm roof connection, 3000mm flysheet — with a more refined finish and construction quality. Same 3.8kg weight and 77 × 11cm pack size as the Flex.
| Roof connection | 260cm | Attachment height | 150–260cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bead | 7mm | Weight | 3.8kg |
| Pack size | 77 × 11cm | Waterproof | 3000mm |
Best for: Regular Cornwall and South West tourers who use their canopy every trip and want the best-finished option Easy Camp make.
Easy Camp Lom Tri Canopy — £119.99
The most versatile canopy in the range. Rather than a single rectangular flysheet, the Lom Tri uses three triangular panels that zip together in multiple configurations — giving you genuine flexibility over how you deploy your shade or shelter depending on sun angle, wind direction, or how much space you need to cover. Three height-adjustable 19mm steel poles included.
Attaches via dual kador beading (5mm + 7mm), Velcro tabs, or guylines over the roof — the most attachment options of any canopy in the range. WeatherGuard 3000 flysheet throughout: 185T polyester, PU coated, 3000mm hydrostatic head, taped seams, fire retardant. At 3.6kg in a 76 × 12cm pack, it's lighter than the Flex and Stryn despite its additional complexity.
| Roof connection | 250cm | Attachment height | 150–260cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bead | 5mm + 7mm | Weight | 3.6kg |
| Pack size | 76 × 12cm | Waterproof | 3000mm |
| Panels | 3 triangular | Attachment | Bead / Velcro / guylines |
Best for: Campervan owners who want to adapt their shelter to Cornwall's changeable conditions — configure for morning sun, afternoon shade, or Atlantic wind without repitching from scratch.

Want More Space? Drive-Away Awnings for Campervans & Motorhomes
A sun canopy is ideal for quick stops and spontaneous shade — but if you're staying put for a few nights and want a fully enclosed, standing-height living space, a drive-away awning is the next step up. We stock one of the largest drive-away awning ranges in Cornwall, covering five leading brands:
- Easy Camp — Shamrock, Wimberly, Fairfields, Utne, Eidfjord, Reine
- Kampa — Cross Air, Trip Air, Sprint Air, Tailgater Air, Roam Air, Voyager Air
- Vango — Galli Pro, Faros III Air, Cove III Air, Kela Pro Air, HexAway Pro, Quadris Air
- Outwell — Fresno, Pine Hills, Santa Monica Air, Daytona Air, Talladega Air, Wolfburg Air
- Outdoor Revolution — Movelite T3E, Cayman Handi, Q Cayman T1
Drive-away awnings give you a fully enclosed living area attached to the side of your van, with the option to drive away and leave the awning pitched on site — ideal for longer stays on Cornwall campsites or touring the South West for a week or more. Call us on 01637 877619 or visit us in store and we'll help you find the right fit for your van.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Easy Camp canopy fits a VW T5 or T6?
All four canopies fit the VW T5 and T6 — the attachment height range of 150–260cm and roof connection lengths of 250–260cm cover both standard and high-roof variants. The Voss and Lom Tri include both 5mm and 7mm kador beading, covering the T5/T6's standard awning rail. If you're unsure which bead size your van uses, call us on 01637 877619 and we'll advise.
Which Easy Camp canopy is best for Cornwall beach camping?
The Voss is the most popular choice for Cornwall beach days — it's light enough to carry to the beach, pitches in under 5 minutes, and the side flaps give extra stability on exposed coastal pitches. The Lom Tri is worth considering if you want to reconfigure your shade as the sun moves through the day.
Do Easy Camp canopies work without a kador awning rail?
Yes — the Voss and Lom Tri both include 5mm + 7mm kador beading and can also attach via guylines thrown over the van roof. The Lom Tri additionally offers Velcro tab attachment. The Flex and Stryn use 7mm kador beading; if your van doesn't have a rail, guylines over the roof work for these too.
Are Easy Camp canopies waterproof enough for Cornwall's weather?
Yes — all four use WeatherGuard 3000 fabric with a 3000mm hydrostatic head and taped seams throughout. That's more than adequate for Cornwall's Atlantic rainfall and sustained downpours. The fire-retardant fabric also meets campsite safety requirements.
What's the difference between the Flex and the Stryn?
Both share the same core specification — cross-braced fibreglass poles, 260cm roof connection, 3000mm flysheet, 3.8kg, 77 × 11cm pack. The Stryn is the premium model with a more refined finish and construction quality. If you use your canopy on every trip, the Stryn is worth the extra £26. If you're occasional, the Flex delivers the same practical performance.
What makes the Lom Tri different from the other Easy Camp canopies?
The Lom Tri uses three separate triangular panels that zip together rather than a single rectangular flysheet. You can use all three for maximum coverage, or configure one or two panels for targeted shade — useful when the sun is low, when you only need to cover part of your pitch, or when you want to leave one side open for airflow on a warm Cornish evening.
Can I use an Easy Camp canopy on a motorhome?
Yes — all four canopies are designed for campervans, vans, and motorhomes. The 150–260cm attachment height range covers the vast majority of motorhome roof heights, from compact campers through to high-roof Sprinter and Transit conversions.
Where can I buy Easy Camp canopies in Cornwall?
All four are available online and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campervan and motorhome owners across Cornwall, Devon, and the South West. Call us on 01637 877619 for advice on which canopy suits your van.
