Why Choose the Outwell Dune SUV Tailgate Awning?
The Outwell Dune SUV Tailgate Awning is a compact and versatile drive away SUV / car awning designed for couples and families who want to extend the use of smaller vans, SUVs and estate cars for outdoor adventures. Lightweight, quick to pitch and easy to pack away, it turns your vehicle into a practical micro adventure base that can be left freestanding when you head off to explore.
Its tailgate mounted design delivers excellent day to day convenience. The Vehicle Attachment System makes it easy to connect without blocking access to side doors. You can also close and lock the tailgate with the awning attached, and open the vehicle tailgate inside the awning for straightforward access to your vehicle when the weather changes.
A key highlight is the flysheet fabric. The awning uses Outtex® 3000 Select Care, a recycled polyester material with 100% recycled sections in selected panels and a high frequency thread interlacing weave for increased strength. It offers a dependable 3000 mm hydrostatic head, UPF 30+ UV protection, and PU taped seams for leak free performance. A water and dirt repellent surface treatment supports easier cleaning, while embossing technology enhances both performance and design. The fabric is also fire retardant to ISO5912.
Inside, you benefit from generous standing height and a large mesh window with waterproof curtains for bright comfort and flexible ventilation. The main door can be used as a canopy to create extra sheltered space, and roll away side panels provide protected access. A detachable groundsheet adds flexibility and makes cleaning easier. Finished with anodised aluminium poles and supplied with a 2 year warranty, it is designed to fit vehicles with an attachment height of 155–185 cm.
