Turn your car or SUV into a versatile adventure basecamp with the Kampa Tailnest Driveaway Awning. Designed to fit neatly over the rear of most hatchbacks and SUVs, the Tailnest creates a bright, sheltered living and storage space in minutes — perfect for road trips, weekend escapes, festivals, and touring holidays. With its compact pack size, lightweight construction, and drive-away capability, it gives you total freedom to explore without dismantling your setup.
Made from durable 75D polyester, the Tailnest offers a reliable balance of lightweight handling and dependable weather protection. This tough yet compact fabric packs away small for easy transport while still standing up to wind and rain, making it ideal for frequent touring and short stays. Supporting the fabric is a fibreglass pole structure, chosen for its flexibility, strength, and ease of use. Pre-angled poles maximise internal headroom and living space, giving you a surprisingly roomy interior from such a compact awning.
Attaching the Tailnest to your vehicle is both secure and flexible. A combination of external webbing straps (that loop around wheels or pass through doors) and internal clip fixings create a tight, stable connection to the rear of your vehicle. An integrated draught skirt and surrounding baffle seal the space underneath and around the car, helping block cold air and improve comfort inside the awning — even when the weather turns.
Once pitched, the Tailnest really shines in everyday use. With doors on three sides, you get excellent access and ventilation, while large crystal-clear PVC windows flood the space with natural light. Toggle-up curtains allow you to adjust privacy, and the window panels can be folded up to act as doors or even converted into sun canopies (with optional poles) — perfect for warm-weather lounging or extra shade at the campsite.
Inside, thoughtful details make life easier. A lantern hanging point lets you add lighting for cosy evenings, while Velcro cable tabs keep power leads or accessories neatly secured. The open-plan layout provides plenty of room for chairs, cooking gear, or bikes, and optional fleece carpets and footprint groundsheets can be added for extra comfort and ground protection.
Quick to pitch in around 13 minutes, easy to pack away, and packed with clever touring features, the Kampa Tailnest is the ideal solution for car campers and SUV adventurers who want more space without the bulk.
