THE BEST VALUE AWNING ON THE MARKET? | UK Vanlife

This week we have a go at installing the £269 Direct 4x4 Expedition Pull-out Awning (2.5 x 2.5m in granite grey) and give you our thoughts on if this is the best awning you can get for under £300. We challenge you to find a better awning at this price point as we don't think you'll be able to! Link down below if you want to grab one for yourselves!

    Yes, your awning is really handy and it's also affordable, and it's probably not too heavy. We have a Thule awning that cost over 2000 pounds and weighs 30kg 😅. It's probably only been used less than 5 times in a year because we move it so often. Good and informative video.

    Yeah we are really happy with it! This one only weights 5kg and that is the exact reason we didn’t want to spend a fortune, we usually wild camp and you don’t exactly get an awning out then! Thankyou!!!

    Great vid, looking for an awning for my van so will definitely look these up. Being nosey, were you on a camp site when demonstrating the awning? Love a site near water!

    Looks good. Might have to get one. Got the fiamma f45s on my vw, but for the amount of times I’ve used it I don’t fancy paying that much out again. This one looks good value 👍

    It’s good mate! We are in the same boat as you! Generally we wild camp so not really awning situations. But for the few times we meet friends or whatever it’s nice to have to shade from the sun or rain! 😂

    Hi just come across your channel and have been searching for an awning that can fit onto Unistrut. Brill video so it seems I have found the ideal awning !! Thanks guys really informative. Did those brackets come with the awning or did you buy separately? Oh and have subscribed. Cheers

    The link is in the description, it’s absolutely fine on our van and we are fairly tall with the lift kit and the wheels. I can see how it would struggle on anything much taller than ours. All that would happen if the roof is too tall is that it would lean the bottom of the front legs towards the van. So it would technically still work.
