Planning a poled driveaway awning for your 2027 campervan or motorhome trips? Compare the Vango Cove IV and Faros IV at World of Camping. Both ranges offer Low and Mid attachment-height options, traditional poled construction and a separate campsite living area that can stay standing when you disconnect your vehicle.
This guide highlights the four featured models, with direct product links, current prices and straightforward fitting advice for UK touring. It is a focused comparison, rather than a claim to cover Vango’s entire 2027 catalogue.

Vango Faros IV: extra living space beside your vehicle
The Faros IV is worth considering if your priority is a separate living area at the lower listed price of these two ranges. Its poled structure supports a campsite space for relaxing or keeping holiday essentials, while the roll-away tunnel allows you to disconnect your vehicle and leave the awning standing.
Diamond clear windows bring in daylight and campsite views. Privacy curtains let you close the space off, ventilation helps airflow, and two tunnel doors provide flexible access. A fully sewn-in groundsheet helps reduce draughts, insects and ground moisture.
The Faros IV listings also specify SkyTrack/SkyHook compatibility for hanging compatible lighting or storage accessories. Check the exact included equipment and any accessories needed before ordering.

Vango Cove IV: an open front canopy for covered outdoor space
The Cove IV adds an open front canopy, giving you a covered place to sit outside while staying connected to the campsite. It is a useful feature to consider if you enjoy spending time at the front of your awning rather than always sitting inside.
Like the Faros IV, the Cove IV uses a poled structure, Dynamic Weave 100 fabric rated to 4,000mm hydrostatic head and a fully sewn-in groundsheet. Diamond clear windows, privacy curtains, ventilation and two tunnel doors provide everyday campsite practicality.
The canopy is open-fronted. Do not confuse the Cove IV poled awning with the separate Cove Air Pro Low inflatable model, which has a different specification and a closable canopy.

Cove IV or Faros IV: which should you choose?
Choose by attachment height first, then by the features you value. The Faros IV has the lower listed price, starting at £370. The Cove IV starts at £500 and adds an open front canopy for covered outdoor sitting space.
Both ranges offer a sewn-in groundsheet, windows, curtains, ventilation and a roll-away vehicle tunnel. Check individual product listings for full specifications rather than assuming dimensions, weight, packed size or included accessories are identical.
Low or Mid: measure your campervan or motorhome
Low models fit attachment heights of 180–210cm. Mid models fit attachment heights of 215–255cm. Measure from the ground to the actual awning attachment point, not the top of your roof.
Attachment height is only part of the check. Confirm the available connection length, attachment method and any suitable drive-away kit or accessories needed. A vehicle model name alone does not establish compatibility. If your measurement falls between the ranges or you are unsure about your setup, contact World of Camping before ordering.
Poled or inflatable: compare the two Vango options
The Cove IV and Faros IV use a poled structure rather than inflatable AirBeams. If you prefer an inflatable design, our separate guide covers Roca Air, HexAway Pro II Air, Cove Air Pro Low and Kela Pro II Air.

Planning UK touring holidays for 2027
For a weekend in Cornwall, a Lake District camping break or a longer Scottish touring route, a driveaway awning lets you keep a campsite base while using your vehicle for day trips. Correct fitting and pitching matter more than choosing by destination or vehicle name alone.
Use ventilation to manage airflow, follow the supplied pitching instructions and secure the awning properly. A 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating is a fabric specification, not a promise of suitability for storms or extreme weather.
Check current availability and ordering information on each product page. If you need an awning for a booked trip, ask World of Camping to confirm expected dispatch timing before ordering. This guide does not label the models as available for immediate dispatch or promise an unconfirmed delivery date.
