The 2026 Vango Faros III Air Mid is an inflatable drive-away awning perfectly designed for mid-height camper vans with a connection height between 215cm – 255cm. Ideal for Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato and other similar height comparable vehicles, this awning delivers rapid inflation without traditional pole assembly. The air-beam construction provides reliable weather protection whilst maintaining lightweight portability. Perfect for touring enthusiasts seeking additional living quarters, secure storage, or sheltered outdoor space, it combines practical functionality with straightforward operation—making it an excellent choice for extended camping adventures.
The Vango Faros III Air Mid harnesses AirBeam® technology for rapid inflation using the supplied pump—eliminating conventional poles and streamlining setup. Reinforced inflatable beams paired with the TBS®II Tension Band System ensure structural integrity and fabric tension across variable weather conditions. This engineering approach delivers dependable stability in windy environments whilst maintaining the convenience of tool-free assembly. Ideal for experienced campers who value efficiency without compromising on weather resilience and durability.
Engineered from Sentinel Active 150D polyester with ColourLok™ Eco technology, the Faros III Mid combines lightweight construction with exceptional durability. The 4,000 mm hydrostatic head rating delivers comprehensive waterproof protection in sustained rainfall, whilst integrated UV resistance safeguards fabric integrity during extended exposure. Low-maintenance cleaning requirements make this awning particularly suited to frequent touring schedules, reducing downtime between adventures and extending long-term performance.
The interior delivers generous accommodation with an integrated groundsheet that eliminates draughts and provides insect protection. Diamond Clear windows paired with adjustable privacy curtains balance natural illumination with discretionary screening, whilst strategically positioned ventilation panels and mesh apertures maintain consistent air circulation. Thoughtful amenities including lantern suspension points, the SkyTrack® II accessory rail system, and ergonomically positioned entry points optimise both functionality and user comfort during extended stays, transforming the awning into a home from home extension of your camper van.
The roll-away connecting tunnel enables flexible operation—detach the awning to explore your surroundings whilst leaving the main structure freestanding on your pitch, then simply reconnect upon return. Comprehensive attachment solutions including pre-fitted kador strip, over-vehicle straps, roof bar tabs, and pole & clamp kit sleeves offer you multiple options.
