what Vans Will the Low Vango Drive Away Fit On?

Low Drive‑Away Awning is designed for low‑height campervans with an attaching or connection height of approximately 180 cm to 210 cm - meaning it will fit most standard campervan roof heights in this range.

Typical Vans That It Will Fit

Common panel vans and campervans in the 180-210 cm roof height category include:

VW Transporter / VW T5 / T6 / T6.1 style campervans

Ford Transit Custom and similar medium‑height variants

Mercedes Vito / Mercedes Metris campers

Renault Trafic / Nissan Primastar / Opel Vivaro low‑roof versions

Comparable low‑roof campervan conversions based on these platforms (with connection rail height 1.80-2.10 m)

Attachment Height Range

The awning's connection hardware (e.g., kador rail, straps, roof bar tabs) is suited for vehicles where:

Awning rail / attachment height is between ~180 cm and 210 cm

If your campervan has a roof height within this range and a suitable awning rail or attachment strip, the Faros III Low should fit. You may need additional fixing kits (e.g., drive‑away kit, pole & clamp kit, or roof bar attachments) if your vehicle doesn't have a built‑in rail or mounting point
