Vango Faros III Air Mid Awning 2026

Product Information

The Vango Faros series has earned a strong reputation for its reliability, smart design, and user-friendly setup—and the Faros III Air Mid proudly continues that legacy. Designed for adventurous travellers, this versatile drive-away awning offers the perfect balance of practicality, durability, and style. Lightweight and easy to pitch or pack away, it saves you time and effort on every trip while providing dependable shelter from the elements. Its robust build ensures stability and protection, allowing you to camp confidently in changing weather conditions.

Constructed from Vango’s Sentinel Active 150D polyester, the Faros III Air Mid offers outstanding defence against wind, rain, and sun. Despite its strength, the fabric remains lightweight at just 110 g/m² and features ColourLok Eco™ technology, which enhances UV protection, preserves fabric colour, and extends the awning’s lifespan. Fully ISO6941 compliant, it meets high standards for fire safety, weather resistance, and performance—ensuring both safety and long-term reliability wherever you go.

Setup is fast and effortless thanks to Vango’s AirBeam® technology, designed to make pitching quick and simple. Each inflatable beam features a dedicated AirSpeed® valve for precise inflation and rapid deflation, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience. A manual pump is included, and Attwoolls also offers electric alternatives for added convenience.

The Faros III Air Mid features an updated tunnel design that provides a smarter, more refined fit against your vehicle. The new colour scheme, combined with subtle details like orange trims, guylines, and pegging points, gives the awning a premium, modern look. The tunnel can be rolled away neatly when detached, keeping your setup tidy, while doors on both sides of the tunnel make it easy to move between your van and the awning.

Inside, the awning blends comfort and functionality. Large Diamond Clear windows fill the living area with light, creating a bright and inviting space, while toggle-up privacy curtains offer adjustable shade when needed. Mesh front and side doors allow airflow while keeping insects out—ideal for warm-weather camping. The sewn-in groundsheet provides a secure, weatherproof seal against the elements, ensuring a dry and comfortable interior.

For enhanced stability, the Faros includes Vango’s TBS® II Tension Band System, which braces the structure during strong winds and can be easily stowed away in calm weather. High-visibility guylines improve safety by reducing trip hazards while adding extra support.

Connecting the awning to your vehicle is simple and flexible, with four connection options—Kador rail, Gutter sleeve, Velcro tabs, and throw-over straps—ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vans. Suitable for connection heights between 215 cm and 255 cm, the Faros offers a secure fit every time. A convenient webbing strap at the tunnel side helps manage excess fabric, keeping your setup neat and streamlined.

Supplied with durable steel pegs, a manual pump, and an Easy Pack Carry Bag, the Faros III Air Mid is just as simple to pack away as it is to pitch. Vango has taken this entry-level awning and significantly upgraded its specification—without increasing the price—making the Faros III Air Mid one of the best-value, feature-packed drive-away awnings available today.
