Has anyone got a hi-roof LWB panel Van camper conversion and uses a driveaway awning?
We're looking for one for our Transit but there's not a lot of choice for larger vehicles out there. I suppose the problem is the higher roof line and a larger sliding door.
Any recommendations?
See if there's a Vango airbeam one that fits. We have one for a smaller van and it is excellent.
We have a Cayman Classic. They come in 2 heights: 1.8-2.4m or 2.4-2.9m
The rail on our H2 Relay is just under 2.4m from the ground so we went with the lower height version, but in hindsight, I think we should have gone for the higher one as the tunnel is stretched quite tightly around the sliding door so care is needed when opening / closing.
There's enough width in the tunnel to open the sliding door as far as the half way stop that we usually use, but a wider tunnel would be better.
It's quite light and compact when packed - we had an air awning briefly, but the pack was HUGE and it weighed a ton - seems to be reasonably well made and was one of the cheaper options.

I have a vango airbeam driveaway awning that should fit the bill if interested I would sell it, I dont tend to camp for any period of time and it's just me and the wife so it doesn't really get used, let me know if interested.
Cheers
@tillydog - thanks, our Fiamma is at ~2.3m so it'd probably attach directly to that
Plus one for the Vango airbeam, couldn't be easier
@boxwithawindow - which Vango model is it? How tall was the van you used it with?
I believe it's called the Idris, I use it on a high top transit but it attaches to the guttering above the door with plenty of room to go higher if needed so height shouldn't be an issue.
