The Bus Depot Ezy-Awning

There's absolutely nothing else like this!  It goes up in minutes - on the front, rear,
or side of virtually any van, car, SUV, or truck - and packs tiny when not in use.
Plus it's completely portable - no need to stake it down!   All at a very low price!
 

After two years in design, we've come up with the ultimate affordable vehicle awning.

It's unlike any other - incredibly adaptable to any situation, yet very inexpensive!  It's built with VW busses and vans in mind but is equally "at home" on any SUV, minivan, or pickup. (You do own a vehicle besides your bus, don't you? :-)  It goes up in minutes, without requiring any modifications to your vehicle, yet packs small to store under your back seat when not in use.

The perfect traveling companion?
We think so.

Attach it anywhere - to any side of any vehicle!

As shipped, the Ezy-Awning can be used on either side of a VW Bus or Vanagon, or any van with a smillarly sized rain gutter, by using the included pole that clamps inside the rain gutter. No modifications to your van are required; you just attach it when needed, and take it down and put it in the bag when you're done.

Add the optional heavy-duty suction cup kit, and it fits almost anything. Now you can attach it to virtually any relatively flat, smooth surface, such as your vehicle's sides, roof, or window glass. Still without any modifications to the vehicle.  This means you can use it almost anywhere...

Use it on virtually any make/model vehicle  - a Eurovan, SUV, van, minivan, or pickup truck.
Use it on the any side of the vehicle - front, rear, left, or right - anywhere with a relatively flat surface.
If you have a side tent, you can extend the awning from the back of your van while the tent is on the side
Use it as a portable carport when working on your vehicle, over the hood or rear deck lid.
You can even attach it to your house over your patio when you're not using it on your van!

We also offer a special mounting kit for owners of Eurovans with poptops, allowing use with the poptop raised.

The Ezy-Awning is fully height adjustable from 4 to 7-1/2 feet, to make it adaptable to any vehicle. Plus, the two legs can be adjusted to different lengths, to compensate if you are parked on a hill or uneven surface.

Stand-Alone Capability - No need to stake it down!

Because the awning  is reinforced on all four sides when assembled, it maintains its shape without the need for guy ropes (although they can be used to improve stability in heavy wind). Each leg has a hole in the foot to accept a tent peg, allowing you to stake the leg directly to the ground.

For even more flexibility, our optional Jackpoint/Wheel Adapters let you use your Ezy-Awning on blacktop, rocky ground, or other surfaces where it can't be staked down at all. These mounts can be used two different ways. One option is simply to roll your vehicle over them, and then attach the two awning poles to them with the supplied thumbscrews, so your vehicle's own weight holds the poles down. Or if you have a Bus or Vanagon, you can simply push them into your stock jack points rather than placing them under the wheels (except on Vanagons with a plastic skirt on the sliding door).

The possibilities are endless!  Tailgating. Concerts. Campsites. Flea Markets. Shows.  Swap meets. Wherever your travels take you!
 

It's sturdy, too.

The Ezy-Awning is made of waterproof nylon (strong yet lightweight), with strong chrome passivate coated metal poles and fiberglass center supports. The domed design, with pole support on all four sides, not only makes it structurally strong but also allows rainwater to roll off of it - preventing the sag that flat-topped awnings suffer during rain storms. It's roughly 8 feet square when installed, yet packs tiny - about 26 inches by 6 inches - in its included storage bag.

Best of all, the Ezy-Awning is easy on your wallet!
