Product Information

Full details

The Brunner Entrada is a drive-away awning designed for campervan owners seeking practical, extra living space without the complexity of inflatable systems. Its key benefit is the quick setup using a traditional fiberglass pole system, making it ideal for spontaneous trips. A potential caveat is its attachment height limitation, best suited for vehicles with specific gutter heights. This awning offers a generous 270 x 310 cm living area with ample headroom, features multiple entrances for convenience, and large windows for a bright interior.

FAQs

What is the best way to clean the Brunner Entrada awning?

Clean the awning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.

What vehicles is this awning compatible with?

It is designed for vehicles with rain gutter heights between 180 cm and 220 cm, such as VW Transporters, Ford Torneos, and similar compact campervans and motorhomes.

How is the awning attached to the vehicle?

Attachment is possible via keder beading for awning rails, a tunnel pole that clamps into the rain gutter, or straps that loop over roof rails.

What is the waterproof rating of the fabric?

The awning has a waterproof rating of 3,000 mm hydrostatic head, suitable for three-season use (Spring-Autumn).

Can the front and side doors be used as verandas?

Yes, the front and side doors can be rolled up and set up as verandas, providing an open-air shaded area.

How much does the awning weigh and how compact is it when packed?

The awning weighs 10.5 kg and packs down to a size of approximately 74 cm long, making it easy to store.

Is a groundsheet included?

The product information does not specify a separate groundsheet; the main material for the ground cloth is listed as polyester.

Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to attach to the vehicle.

Ensure your vehicle's rain gutter height falls within the 180-220 cm range. Check that the keder beading is correctly aligned with the awning rail, or that the tunnel pole clamp is securely fastened to the gutter.

Water pooling on the flysheet after rain.

Verify that all guy ropes are properly tensioned to create a taught surface. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing water from running off.

Fiberglass poles are difficult to insert or remove.

Check that the pole sections are fully connected. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pole ends if they are sticking.

Small leaks detected through seams.

Seam tape may be compromised. Apply a seam sealer product designed for tents and awnings to the affected seams.

Fabric smells musty.

The awning was likely packed away while damp. Air it out completely in a dry, well-ventilated area. For persistent odors, a specialized fabric cleaner may help.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in the provided carry bag in a cool, dry place.
