Product Information
Full details
The Kampa Tailnest SUV Awning is designed for adult campers and road-trippers seeking to expand their vehicle's utility into a functional basecamp. Its key benefit is creating versatile sheltered space ideal for relaxing, cooking, or storing gear, directly attached to the rear of many hatchbacks and SUVs. A potential caveat is its connection height limitation, requiring users to confirm vehicle compatibility. This awning is constructed from durable 75D polyester, features a fibreglass pole structure, and offers waterproof protection, making it a compact and easy-to-pitch solution for short stays and touring.

Troubleshooting
Awning won't stand up correctly.
Ensure the fibreglass poles are fully inserted into their sleeves and that the awning is tensioned correctly using guylines and pegging points.
Water ingress through seams.
Check that all seams are properly sealed. For persistent leaks, consider using a seam sealer product suitable for outdoor fabrics.
Difficulties attaching to the vehicle.
Verify that your vehicle's tailgate height falls within the specified 160-190cm range and ensure the connection tunnel is aligned correctly.
Fabric flap in windy conditions.
Tension all guylines and ensure the awning is securely pegged. Consider using additional heavy-duty pegs or sandbags in very windy conditions.
