Outwell Sandcrest Drive Away Tent

When I saw the Outwell Drive Away series of tents we had to have them. There are a great idea for vehicle camping, especially with a Pick Up Truck, Van or Campervan. It is a free standing tent that you can reverse up to which is perfect for extending your vehicles space and adding a sleeping area or kitchen.

Couples, families and friends will all appreciate the value of the extra space the ingenious Outwell Sandcrest delivers for more comfortable van life. As a rear-mounted, fixed awning, with just one aluminium pole, it´s really light, packs away small and vehicle doors aren’t blocked by guylines. It’s designed for vehicles like Peugeot Rifter, Citroen Berlingo, VW Caddy and the like. With easily adjustable height options, you’ll also find it ideal for smaller vehicles and SUV’s, perfect for camping and day trip use for cooking, as a day shelter or changing room.

The smart design allows you to close and lock the tailgate securely when you head off on a hike or bike adventure or leave it open through the night whilst you secure your van rear with its insect-proof screen for great ventilation. As a bonus, you can raise the door as a shade canopy (poles not included) when fixing your bike or recharging your battery after your outdoor excursions.

The basic difference between the Small and the Large version is that the Large is 20cm taller and wider.
