Vango Faros III Air Mid Drive‑Away Awning 

The Vango Faros III Air Mid Drive‑Away Awning is a versatile and easy‑to‑use inflatable campervan awning designed for mid‑height vans with connection heights between 215 cm and 255 cm — such as Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato and similar vehicles. It’s perfect for touring campers who want extra living space, storage or a comfortable outdoor shelter without complex setup.

Built with AirBeam® technology, this drive‑away awning inflates quickly using the included AirBeam® pump — no traditional poles are needed, so pitching becomes fast and stress‑free. With sturdy inflatable beams and a TBS®II Tension Band System, the awning remains stable and taut even in breezy conditions, giving you confidence in varying weather.

Constructed from Sentinel Active 150D polyester fabric with ColourLok™ Eco technology, the Faros III Mid is both lightweight and robust, offering a 4,000 mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating to keep you dry and protected. The fabric is also UV resistant and easy to clean, making it suitable for frequent touring use.

Inside, the awning provides a spacious living area with a sewn‑in groundsheet that helps keep out draughts and insects. Multiple Diamond Clear windows with toggled privacy curtains let in natural light and offer great visibility, while ventilation panels and mesh doors promote healthy airflow throughout the space. Practical features such as lantern hanging points, SkyTrack® II accessory rail system, and easy‑access doors enhance comfort and usability throughout your stay.

The roll‑away connecting tunnel lets you detach the awning from your van when you want to explore for the day — leaving the main awning freestanding on your pitch until you return. Multiple attachment options are included, such as pre‑attached kador strip, over‑vehicle straps, roof bar tabs, and a sleeve for pole & clamp kits, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of campers and motorhomes.

Ideal for touring holidays, weekend trips and family adventures, the Vango Faros III Air Mid Drive‑Away Awning offers flexible, reliable space that enhances your outdoor living experience and adapts to your travel style.

Compatible Campervans & Motorhomes (Connection Height 215 - 255 cm)

This Mid height awning is designed for vehicles with an awning channel (kador) height of approx. 215 to 255 cm, which typically includes larger campervans and smaller motorhomes, such as:

Common Compatible Vans

Peugeot Boxer (H2 / H3) - popular panel van platform with mid‑roof height

Ford Transit / Transit Custom (mid‑roof versions) - fits models above low roof but below high roof

Mercedes Sprinter (mid‑roof) - common touring conversion choice

Fiat Ducato (standard / mid‑roof) - widely used campervan base

Citroën Relay / Peugeot Boxer variants (mid roof) - similar to Ducato chassis

Mid‑height versions of Renault Master, Opel Movano and similar panel vans

These vehicles fall into the mid‑height range where the Cove III Air Mid can attach directly to the awning channel without needing extreme adjustments.

🧰 How to Check Your Van

To ensure a proper fit:
✔ Measure the awning channel height (kador height) on your van - it must be between 215 cm and 255 cm for this model to fit correctly.
✔ Look for an existing awning rail, gutter rail, J‑rail or wind‑out rail on the vehicle. If your van doesn't have a rail, you can still attach using supplied over‑vehicle straps or fixing kits.
✔ Compare the measured height with the awning's specification - if your campervan falls within the connection range, the awning will attach securely.
