TentBox Tunnel Awning - For Lite 2.0, Lite XL, Classic 2.0 & Cargo 2.0

However much you enjoy the outside lifestyle and all the fun that comes with it, the weather always plays a part.  When you step outside your tent, a dry area, protected from the rain, wind and sun makes for a more enjoyable camping experience.  The same is true when your tent is a TentBox.  However cosy your sleeping pod might be, the time will come when you have to step out and brave the elements.  Gazebos are a thing of the past and van awnings are expensive and cumbersome to put up.  Simple problems, need simple solutions.  TentBox have created a cost effective and easy to set up Tunnel Awning that works with your specific TentBox Model.  The Tunnel Awning creates a large, covered area immediately outside your TentBox door.  This is perfect for providing protection from the elements, a covered area to sit under, a sheltered place to keep out of the wind or some much needed shade in the summer.

The Tunnel Awnings are designed to fit each model of TentBox.  For the Lite 2.0, Lite XL & Classic 2.0 the Tunnel Awning simply clips onto hooks already built into your main TentBox.  For the Cargo 2.0 the awning zips into the TentBox just under the roof, and is secured with screw in nuts that hold the awning to the Cargo 2.0’s accessory rail.  Once attached to the TentBox the set up is the same for all the versions.  The Tunnel Awning kit includes two telescopic prop poles, guy ropes & pegs.  So all you have to do is unfurl the waterproof fabric, prop it up at the front with the telescopic poles, attach the guy ropes and then peg out the sides.  All done in a few minutes.

The Tunnel Awning is a universal height and fits most vehicles.  The strong straps at the bottom of the sides are adjustable, so you can alter them to get the best height for your outfit.  The taller your vehicle the straighter the sides of the tunnel will be; the shorter your vehicle the more sloped the sides will be.  If the weather looks a bit challenging there are additional guy ropes that be used along the sides for a bit of extra reassurance.  Alternatively, you can set the Tunnel Awning up in “wing mode” to give a bigger covered area.  This is easily done by propping up one or both of the side panels with extra telescopic poles (extra not included).  Perfect for sharing your TentBox space with your fellow campers.

Having a large porch area immediately outside your front door gives you immediate shelter, a bit of privacy and space to mark your pitch out.  The ladder is covered by the tunnel awning too.  This is great a benefit, as if it’s been wet overnight, the rungs will be kept dry.  So no soggy socks when you get out for your morning brew!  The Tunnel Awning is made from the same strong fabric that the Lite’s flysheets are made from.  It is a quality 610D polyester with a waterproof rating of 5000mm.  So you are protected from even the heaviest of rain showers.

The TentBox Tunnel Awning is a lightweight, easy to use & waterproof shelter that creates a flexible living space outside your TentBox.
