Outdoor Revolution Cayman Air T2 vs T3 vs T4: Which Size Do You Need?
If you're browsing drive away awnings and wondering what the difference is between T2, T3, and T4, you're not alone — it's one of the most common questions we get at Newquay Camping. The short answer: T2, T3, and T4 refer to the floor size of the awning, not the height. Each size is then available in Low, Mid, and Tall cowl heights to suit your specific vehicle.
What Does T2, T3, T4 Mean on a Cayman Air Awning?
On the Outdoor Revolution Cayman Air range, the T-number indicates the size of the living space:
- T2 — the smallest and lightest option, ideal for couples or solo travellers
- T3 — the mid-size, offering more living space for couples who want room to breathe or small families
- T4 — the largest, giving generous space for families or longer trips where comfort is a priority
Each model is then available in Low, Mid, or Tall cowl heights — that's the part that connects to your vehicle. So you choose your size first, then your cowl height to match your van.
Floor Size Comparison: T2 vs T3 vs T4
| Model | Footprint | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Cayman Air T2 | 250 × 265cm (+90cm cowl) | 14.45kg |
| Cayman Air T3 | 440 × 310cm (+100cm cowl) | 18–19.6kg |
| Cayman Air T4 | 580 × 310cm (+100cm cowl) | 23kg |
The T4 offers more than double the floor area of the T2 — a significant difference when you're living out of it for a week. The T3 sits nicely in between, giving a proper lounge area without the bulk of the T4.
Cayman Air T2 — Best for Couples and Weekend Trips
The T2 is the lightest and most compact of the three. At 250 × 265cm it gives you a comfortable sheltered space without adding much bulk to your setup. It's quick to inflate, easy to pack down, and well suited to campervans where simplicity matters.
Available in Low, Mid, and Tall cowl heights.
Cayman Air T3 — The Most Popular Choice
The T3 is the sweet spot for most campervan owners. At 440 × 310cm it gives you a proper living area — enough for a table and chairs, storage, and room to move around in bad weather. With a standing height of around 210cm, it feels genuinely spacious inside.
Available in Low and Mid cowl heights.
Cayman Air T4 — Best for Families and Longer Stays
At 580 × 310cm, the T4 is the largest in the Cayman Air range and the one to choose if you're travelling as a family or spending extended time on site. It has hanging points for an optional 2 Berth Clip-in Inner Tent, turning your awning into a proper bedroom annex and freeing up your van for cooking and living. Despite its size it still uses the same Oxygen AirFrame system for straightforward inflation.
Available in Low cowl height.
Which Cowl Height Do I Need?
Once you've chosen your size, match the cowl height to your vehicle:
- Low — approx. 180–220cm vehicle roof height
- Mid — approx. 220–255cm vehicle roof height
- Tall — approx. 255–290cm vehicle roof height
Measure from the ground to wherever your connection rail sits. If you're on the boundary between two heights, go larger for a better fit and weather seal.
Add a Bedroom to Your Cayman Air
All three Cayman Air sizes have hanging points for optional inner tents, letting you create a separate sleeping space inside the awning:
- Outdoor Revolution 2 Berth Inner Tent — clips directly inside the awning for a private, weatherproof bedroom for two
- Outdoor Revolution 4 Berth Inner Tent — ideal for families, adding sleeping space for up to four inside the awning
This makes the T3 and T4 especially popular with families who want to keep the main awning area clear for eating and relaxing.
