The Faros III Low Poled Awning is designed as a simple and reliable drive-away awning for campers who want extra covered space without the bulk of a larger awning. It works equally well as a sheltered seating area or as storage for bikes, boots, and outdoor equipment.

Inside, the awning offers a bright and comfortable space thanks to Diamond Clear windows and multiple ventilation panels. The additional ventilation helps improve airflow and reduce condensation, making the awning more comfortable to use in a range of conditions.

The Sentinel Active 75D fabric keeps weight and pack size to a minimum while still offering waterproof protection with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head. This makes the awning particularly well suited to short stays and touring holidays in the UK where space in the vehicle is limited.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Faros III Low can be detached from the vehicle once pitched, allowing it to remain freestanding while you head out for the day. The front door can also be converted into a canopy using optional king poles, providing sheltered outdoor space for dining or relaxing.

Key Features

Fabric

Sentinel Active 75D fabric is lightweight and compact, offering reliable waterproof protection with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head while keeping pack size to a minimum.

Pitching Method

The awning uses Vango PowerFlex fibreglass poles to create a stable structure. Pegging assistance points help guide setup and ensure the awning is pitched correctly.

Drive-Away Capability

Using the drive-away setup, the awning can be detached from the vehicle and left standing while you explore, then easily reattached on return.

Groundsheet

A fully sewn-in groundsheet creates a sealed environment to help keep out draughts, insects, and water, supported by an external storm skirt.

Ventilation

Multiple ventilation panels, including an additional panel added to this model, allow improved airflow and help manage condensation during use.

Front Canopy Option

The front door features king pole eyelets, allowing it to be propped open as a canopy using optional king poles for extra shelter.
