The 2026 Outwell Sand Van is the ultimate tailgate solution for adventurers with VW T5/T6/T6.1 and Mercedes V-Class vehicles.

This ingeniously designed awning attaches effortlessly to your vehicle's tailgate without obstructing side door access, thanks to its innovative Vehicle Attachment System. The large mesh window paired with a waterproof curtain ensures excellent airflow while keeping the elements at bay. Weighing just 4.5kg and packing down compactly, it's perfect for spontaneous getaways or extended camping trips. Quick to deploy and equally simple to stow, the Sand Van transforms your van into a comfortable outdoor living space wherever your journey takes you.

Secure your vehicle with the tailgate locked whilst the awning remains fully operational, giving you peace of mind and weather protection simultaneously. Open the tailgate from inside the awning to access your van without stepping outside—ideal during unpredictable weather. Deploy the door as an overhead canopy for instant shade, or utilise the roll-away side panels to create a sheltered entrance that shields you from wind and rain. This versatile setup transforms your van's tailgate into a multi-purpose outdoor hub, maximising comfort and usability on every camping adventure.
