A compact rear‑attachment drive‑away awning for couples and solo travellers who want fast shelter, flexible vehicle access and reliable protection for UK touring.
The Vango Tailgate Hub II Low is built for quick overnight stops and active touring, giving you an extended living space at the back of your van or SUV without committing to a large, heavy awning. Its updated adjustable tunnel width fits a wide range of low‑height vehicles, making it a practical choice for multi‑day road trips.
Inside Comfort
The living area uses Vango’s Sentinel Active 75D fabric, which balances durability with a compact pack size. Diamond Clear Windows maximise natural light, while toggled curtains allow instant privacy when needed. A linked‑in groundsheet helps keep the interior clean and can be removed for easier maintenance. The internal mesh front door supports airflow and keeps insects at bay, and SkyTrack II offers flexible hanging points for lights and organisers.
Outside Performance
The 75D fabric has a 3000 mm Hydrostatic Head for dependable weather resistance during typical UK touring conditions. PowerFlex fibreglass poles create a stable structure, supported by visible guylines and strong steel pegs. Adjustable feet and a multi‑width vehicle attachment system ensure a tidy, weather‑tight fit at the rear of the vehicle. Two tunnel doors provide useful access for kit storage, and the awning can be pitched at the side or rear depending on your layout.
Setup
Designed for fast pitching, the awning connects to the vehicle with simple pegging straps at the front and tunnel area, so no rail is required. Roof bar tabs, a kador strip and a pole-and-clamp sleeve are also included for those who prefer a traditional attachment. When you want to drive away, the connecting tunnel rolls back and toggles securely, leaving the awning free‑standing until you return.
