Van Awning Installs Byron Bay – Shade, Shelter, and Style On the Road

If you’re living the vanlife or just taking weekend trips around Northern NSW, a high-quality awning is one of the best upgrades you can add to your campervan. At Savanna Vans, we specialise in van awning installs in Byron Bay, helping adventurers, surfers, tradies, and road trippers create instant outdoor living space—no matter where they park.

Whether you’re chasing the surf at Broken Head or camping under the stars in the hinterland, an awning delivers shade, shelter, and comfort in seconds. Our team can fit awnings to all types of vans, ensuring durability, easy setup, and seamless integration with your existing build.

Why Install an Awning on Your Van?

Awnings are one of the most practical and popular van additions for anyone spending time outdoors. With Byron’s sunny weather and unpredictable rain showers, having quick and reliable cover makes a huge difference.

Benefits of van awnings include:

• Protection from sun and rain

• Outdoor cooking or dining shelter

• Creates an extended living area

• Shaded space for yoga, rest, or work

• Privacy and comfort at any campsite

From solo travellers to family campers and tradies needing a covered workspace, awnings offer a versatile solution.

Types of Van Awnings We Install

At Savanna Vans, we supply and install a wide range of awning types to suit different needs, vehicles, and budgets.

Side-mounted pull-out awnings

• The most common type

• Easy to deploy and pack away

• Great for quick shade at beach stops or remote campgrounds

Batwing/270° awnings

• Wraps around the van for full side + rear coverage

• Ideal for cooking, gear storage, and group setups

• Requires secure mounting—professionally installed for wind resistance

Electric retractable awnings

• Ideal for elderly users or those with limited mobility

Custom-length and modular awnings

• Designed to fit unusual roof dimensions or dual-side setups

• Compatible with toolboxes, solar panels, or roof-top tents

Quality Materials for All Conditions

We only install high-performance awnings designed to withstand harsh Aussie conditions. All fabrics are water-resistant or waterproof, UV-stabilised, and durable enough to handle heavy use.

Our frames and brackets are typically made from:

• Powder-coated aluminium (lightweight and rustproof)

• Galvanised steel (for extra-strength and commercial use)

• Stainless fittings for coastal protection

Every awning is tested for stability in wind, water resistance, and long-term outdoor use, making them perfect for Byron Bay’s diverse climate.

Seamless Integration with Roof Racks & Vans

Already have a roof rack or planning to install one? No problem. We integrate your awning system with roof racks, solar panels, or other accessories to ensure everything fits securely and works together.

We can also add:

• Awning walls or mesh sides

• Enclosure kits for privacy or weather protection

• Windbreaks or extendable poles for high-wind areas

Let us know your camping or trade needs, and we’ll build the perfect shade setup for you.
