Overview:
Upgraded for the new camping season, the Vango Cove III Air has a more durable 150 Denier fabric but still encompasses all the great features, which make the awning such a popular hit with camper van owners. The beauty of the shelter is it will double the living space of any camper van, free-standing next to the vehicle and connecting securely via the connecting panel between the shelter and the van. The perfect area for storage, dining, and shelter from the elements, an additional BR001 (sold separately) sleeping compartment can also be added for a two-person sleeping pod.
Ideal For: Ideal for couples or smaller families wanting a spacious drive-away awning, which has a side attachment, to sit parallel with the camper van. The Cove III balances great quality and durability with a lightweight design, making it ideal for touring.
Key Features:
- Airbeam Structure: The inflatable structure makes for an easier pitching and set-down experience, allowing the awning to be pitched in ten minutes (allowing more time for the first couple of pitches). Each Airbeam is individually inflated using the provided Air pump, which is rolled inside the middle of the package.
- Drive Away Design: Free-standing design allows the product to be left on-site, whilst the van is disconnected and removed from the campsite for the day.
- Parallel Format: The Cove III sits sideways, essentially mirroring the footprint of the camper van. This offers greater use of the living space on a campsite pitch and also allows the Cove to look onto a view, and not the neighbouring pitch.
- Upgraded Fabric: The polyester fabric has been upgraded for the III version of the Cove, offering a Sentinel 150 Denier fabric (formerly 70 Denier), ensuring a more durable design, but still retaining a low weight of 17.3kg for touring purposes.
- Pre-Attached Front Canopy: A key feature of the Cove III is the open front canopy, which is pre-built onto the shelter, providing great social, dining, and storage space, whilst also providing a rain-safe entry into the front of the Cove.
- Sewn-in Groundsheet: The living space has a sealed groundsheet, which has drop-down doors to the side door for wheelchair/pram access. The groundsheet toggles to the flysheet doors on the side door. The front door is a full-sealed step-over door.
- Roll-Away Connecting Panel: Attaches to the camper van in four possible methods (listed below), and provides a storage space between the camper van and the shelter, with two doors for easier access into the van, without having to go through the Cove III.
- Mesh Panel Secondary Door: The front door has a secondary mesh panel to allow plenty of airflow throughout, increase breathability, and reduce the condensation effects in wetter weather. Furthermore, provides a breeze on warmer days, without bugs being able to access the Cove.
- Optional Additions: Add a bedroom sleeping compartment (BR001), a universal carpet (CP004), and groundsheet protector (GP001), all of which will enhance the camping experience.

| Fabric Denier | 150 Denier (Polyester) Details Denier - a measurement used to determine the thickness of the tent flysheet. It relates to the fibre thickness, or thread counts used. The thicker the fabric, generally the stronger, and more durable the fabric will be. The denier really reflects the lifetime to be expected of the tent, and how quickly, it will be affected by UV Degradation. |
|---|---|
| Awning Type | VW Style Drive-Away Details Seasonal: A caravan awning specifically designed for touring, and temporary camping pitches. Ideal for fair weather campers, needing an awning for shorter trips. Usually uses lighter fabrics, for easier portability, and easier pitching. Residential: Ideal for those camping for longer durations, wanting an awning that can be left pitched all season, or for a month or more at a time. Residential awnings usually use heavier weight fabrics, designed to last longer, and not fade as fast in the UV sunshine rays. DriveAway VW Awnings: Designed to go onto VW or similar vans, or motorhomes with the correct attachment height. Can be left free-standing at the site if you need your vehicle to get off-site. Fixed VW Awnings: Reliant on the van or motorhome for the structure of the product. Van cannot be removed offsite once the awning is set up. |

| Hydrostatic Head (mm) | 4000 Details Hydrostatic Head (Tents) – a waterproof rating for technical fabrics measured in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof the fabric is. A rating of 1500mm is deemed waterproof, but on a tent, look for a rating of 3000 or higher. Measured by the height of water column a fabric weave can take before it begins to “sweat”. “Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing. |
| Colour | Cloud Grey |
| Berth | 2 Man Details Berth – This shows the number of people that the tent can sleep within the inner tents of a model of tent, in line with the industry standard. Normal procedure is to look for a slightly larger tent, for example, a family of four usually purchase a five or six berth tent, to give added room and comfort. |
| Doors | 1 Front Door / 2 Doors in Connecting Panel |
| Flysheet Fabric | Sentinel Active 150 Denier Polyester, 4000mm Details Polyester – a synthetic fibre, made from polymer units to create a textile fabric. Polyester is the most popular fabric for tent manufacturing, as it is durable, reliable and lighter in weight. Polyester does not breathe though, which creates more condensation. Polycotton - a blend of polyester and cotton, primarily cotton (usually around 65% cotton / 35% polyester split). Polycotton is a more natural fabric for camping, as it is breathable, far more durable material, reducing the effects of condensation. Offers greater versatility in hot and cold climates. Ripstop Nylon – a durable material used in tents which is strong and repairable due to its Ripstop properties. |
