Product Information
Full details
The Outwell Vehicle Awning Milestone Lux is designed for campers who need extra living or sleeping space, particularly those with smaller campsite pitches or van life enthusiasts. Its key benefit is its versatility and ease of setup, allowing it to be attached to either side of a van and remain freestanding. A minor caveat is that the optional inner tent for sleeping is sold separately, meaning initial setup provides primary living space.

FAQs
Can I attach this awning to any vehicle?
The Milestone Lux is designed for vans and larger vehicles with suitable attachment points. Compatibility may vary; check your vehicle's specifications and the awning's attachment system.
Do I need to buy an inner tent separately?
Yes, the inner tent for sleeping is an optional accessory and must be purchased separately.
How long does setup typically take?
With practice, setup can be completed in around 15-30 minutes. First-time setup may take slightly longer.
Can the awning be left up in windy conditions?
The awning can withstand moderate winds when properly pitched and tensioned. However, it is recommended to take it down in severe weather conditions to prevent damage.
What are the dimensions of the awning?
Specific dimensions vary based on attachment, but it's designed for smaller campsite pitches and provides versatile living space. Please refer to the product's technical specifications for exact measurements.
How do I clean the awning fabric?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to attach securely to the vehicle.
Ensure your vehicle has compatible attachment points. Double-check the awning's connection system is correctly aligned and tightened according to the manual. Consider using additional vehicle-specific attachment accessories if needed.
Water pooling on the roof of the awning.
Ensure guylines are adequately tensioned and the awning fabric is pulled taut. Check that the awning is pitched with a slight slope away from the vehicle to encourage water runoff.
Zipper snagging or difficult to operate.
Gently pull the fabric taut around the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper; clean any debris that might be causing obstruction.
Awning fabric seems loose or sagging.
Re-tension all guylines and adjust pole tensioners. Ensure all stakes are firmly in the ground. On subsequent uses, allow the fabric to settle and re-tension as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Milestone Lux is designed for straightforward pitching. Identify the appropriate attachment points on your vehicle (e.g., roof rails, gutter rails, or specific awning channels). Secure the awning's connection system to your vehicle using the provided guide rails or straps. Erect the main poles, ensuring they are correctly inserted and tensioned. Finally, stake out the guylines to create a taut and stable structure. Refer to the included manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Compatibility: This awning is designed to fit most campervans and larger passenger vehicles. The side-mounted design offers flexibility, but ensure your vehicle has suitable points for attachment. The exact fit may vary depending on vehicle height and profile. Always check vehicle manufacturer guidelines before attaching accessories.
Care: After use, allow the awning to dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew. Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. Store the awning in its original bag in a cool, dry place. Periodically check guylines and poles for wear and tear.
