Drive away awnings

[andy97]

Looking for a drive away awning or tent that I can use with my BMW X3, ie park the car and with the tailgate up have an awning or tent attached so that I can sleep in the car (with the seats down) and use the awning/ tent for storage and as the "living room".

Is this possible? It's not for holidays, but for when I'm racing. A camper van or motor home would be the ideal but can't have that and the X3 and go racing!! And I do like the C3 for everyday use.

Have a look at the Kyham tailgate awning, Amdro do one for their conversion kit for Berlingos sized vehicles, also there's a Caranex. They all offer the same idea of a bit of extra space to change, cook or relax.

Thanks, that very helpful. The Kyham one no,longer seems to be available, at least on Amazon, so difficult to find details but the Amdro and Caranex are worthy of further investigation. The latter does look a bit of a fiddle to put up; you'd think that they would be using air beam technology by now!

At least I know that these things exist now, cheers.

Would prefer air beam technology rather than lots of poles to faff with!

Have found these with an air beam option.

Look like possibilities, and seem to have room to sleep on a cap bed in the awning rather than in back of car.
