At Newquay Camping Shop in Cornwall, Outwell is one of our most highly regarded brands, and their awnings are a popular choice with customers who want the best their budget can buy.

The Outwell Drive Away Awning Range
Outwell names their awnings after American cities and locations — giving the range a distinctive identity. Here's a guide to what's available and what each model is suited to:
Outwell Wolfburg Air — The Flagship
The Wolfburg is Outwell's most established drive-away awning. Available in two sizes (380 and 450), it's a premium inflatable awning designed for those who want maximum space and top-tier build quality. The Wolfburg 380 suits mid-height vehicles, while the larger 450 is ideal for motorhomes and those wanting a genuinely spacious living area.
- Outwell Wolfburg Air Drive Away Awning
- Outwell Wolfburg 380 Air Drive Away Awning 2025 — mid-sized, premium inflatable
- Outwell Wolfburg 450 Air Drive Away Awning 2025 — larger footprint, ideal for motorhomes
Outwell Daytona Air — 2026 Model
The Daytona is Outwell's 2026 addition to the range — a sleek, modern inflatable drive-away awning designed to balance size, weight, and performance. A great choice for those stepping up to an Outwell awning for the first time.
Outwell Talladega Air — 2026 Model
The Talladega sits at the top of the Outwell range for 2026. If you want the ultimate in space, quality, and weather protection for extended Cornwall touring, this is the one to look at.
Outwell Santa Monica Air
The Santa Monica is a versatile mid-range inflatable drive-away awning — well suited to a wide range of campervans and motorhomes, and a solid all-rounder for South West touring.
Outwell Fresno — Poled Option
The Fresno is Outwell's poled drive-away awning — a more traditional approach that appeals to those who prefer the simplicity and repairability of a pole structure over inflatable beams. Robust and well-priced within the Outwell range.
Outwell Pine Hills & San Diego — Compact Options
The Pine Hills and San Diego are compact drive-away awnings ideal for smaller campervans or those who need a lighter, more packable shelter without sacrificing the Outwell quality mark.
Air vs Poled Outwell Awnings
Outwell inflatable (air beam) awnings use pressurised beams that pitch in minutes — a significant advantage when you arrive at a Cornwall campsite and the Atlantic weather is doing its worst. The Wolfburg, Daytona, Talladega, and Santa Monica are all air beam models and represent the majority of Outwell's current range.
The Fresno offers the traditional poled alternative — simpler, slightly more affordable within the Outwell range, and fully repairable with spare poles if something breaks on pitch.
For most customers touring Devon and Cornwall, we'd recommend an air beam awning for speed and convenience — particularly if you're moving pitches regularly.
Choosing the Right Size
Unlike some brands, Outwell tends to size their awnings by overall footprint rather than strictly by vehicle height category. When choosing, consider:
- Your vehicle's door height — measure before you buy, or bring your van to our Newquay showroom and we'll help you match the right awning
- How many people need to use the awning space — the Wolfburg 450 and Talladega offer the most internal room
- Pitch size — Cornwall coastal pitches can be tight, so check the footprint dimensions carefully
Why Outwell Stands Out
Outwell awnings consistently impress on a few key points:
- Fabric quality — Outwell uses high-spec polyester with excellent waterproofing and UV resistance
- Attention to detail — from ventilation panels to well-positioned guy rope attachment points, the design is clearly thought through
- Weather performance — particularly important for South West touring, Outwell awnings handle Atlantic rain and wind reliably
- Aesthetic — Outwell awnings have a premium look that complements higher-end campervans and motorhomes

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Outwell drive away awning is best for a motorhome?
The Outwell Wolfburg 450, Talladega Air, and Santa Monica Air are all well suited to motorhomes, offering generous internal height and a large footprint. The Wolfburg 450 is our most popular Outwell choice for motorhome owners — it combines premium quality with a spacious, well-designed living area.
How long does an Outwell inflatable awning take to pitch?
Most Outwell air beam awnings pitch in around 10–20 minutes once you're familiar with the process. The inflatable beams make pitching significantly faster than a traditional poled awning — particularly welcome when you're arriving at a Cornwall campsite in the rain.
Are Outwell awnings good in wind?
Yes — Outwell awnings are well regarded for their weather performance. Their high-spec fabrics and well-positioned guyline attachment points make them a reliable choice on exposed coastal pitches. For Cornwall and Devon touring in particular, the build quality justifies the price point.
What's the difference between the Outwell Wolfburg 380 and 450?
The main difference is size — the 450 has a larger footprint and more internal living space. The 380 is better suited to mid-size campervans or pitches where space is limited, while the 450 is ideal for motorhomes or families who need a proper outdoor living area.
Does Outwell make a poled drive away awning?
Yes — the Outwell Fresno is Outwell's poled drive-away option. It's a great choice if you prefer the simplicity and repairability of a traditional pole structure, or if you're looking for a slightly lower price point within the Outwell range.
Can I see Outwell awnings in person before buying?
Yes — visit our showroom in Newquay, Cornwall. Our team can walk you through the range, help you match the right awning to your vehicle, and answer any questions about sizing and attachment. Contact us ahead of your visit to check which models are currently on display.
