The Bus Depot Ezy-Awning

 

There's absolutely nothing else like this! It's the perfect traveling companion - instant shade, anywhere you need it, yet small enough to store under your seat. It attaches to virtually any vehicle or camper in minutes, and can be completely self-supporting (no need to stake it down). And, since it's domed, no rain sag!

All for as low as $119.

Now in its fouth generation, the original Easy Affordable Awning has taken on a life of its own! What began as an idea for a simple VW Bus or Van awning that would go up in minutes without any mods to your vehicle, has evolved into something much more. When we introduced the first generation years ago, we had no idea that it would catch on not just among VW owners, but also among enthusiasts of everything from Land Rovers to trailer campers.

It's still the cheapest, simplest awning for a VW van, and even the basic $119 model provides all you need for most VW applications. But now, with your choice of inexpensive mounts, it's equally at home on virtually any SUV, van, Jeep, minivan, truck, camper, or trailer ... or even your house to provide shade over your patio when not traveling. Still with no permanent mods to your vehicle, and no need to stake it down.  What's more, our optional freestanding kit allows you to use it as a stand-alone shelter when you pull away from your campsite (or even around the house).

Add optional mounts or accessories now at special pricing, or start off with the $119 basic model and add more features later. The accessories are all backwards compatible all the way to our very first Ezy-Awning.

Scroll down to see pictures of the Ezy-Awning on all kinds of vehicles. They were sent to us by actual Ezy-Awning owners all over the world.  We love hearing from you!  Send us your pics, and tell us where they were taken.

Packs small ... extends big.

The Ezy-Awning takes almost no space when stored. It fits into a small storage bag (included) roughly the same size and weight as a "chair-in-a-bag" - about 26 inches tall by 6 inches across. But it extends to either approximately 8 X 8 feet or 8 X 11 feet (depending on model chosen) when you put it up.

Simple yet sturdy.

The Ezy-Awning is made of specially treated, waterproof and UV resistant nylon (strong yet lightweight), with sturdy chrome passivate coated metal poles and fiberglass center supports. Its domed roof, 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. The simple cross-brace design allows your Ezy-Awning to go from bag to vehicle in just a few minutes, without having to modify your vehicle or permanently attach a frame or box to your roof line. The learning curve is fast; it may take you 15 minutes to put up the first few times but will probably take you closer to 5 minutes once you've gotten used to it.

 

No need to stake it down.

As shipped, the Ezy-Awning can be held down by as little as two stakes - one through each leg - and no guy ropes (although guy ropes and additional stakes are provided for use in windier conditions). But add our inexpensive Wheel Mount Kit, and the awning is fully self-supporting, without the need for any stakes or ropes at all. This makes it perfect for tailgating, concerts, swap meets, flea markets, or other locations where you can't stake into the ground. The design is very simple - the awning legs angle back to the vehicle and attach to mounts that go under your tires. Therefore your vehicle's own weigh holds the awning down. Have a Bus or Vanagon?  Our deluxe Jackpoint / Wheel Mount Kit also allows you to attach the awning legs to your stock factory jacking points (or under the wheels if you prefer).

  • Wheel Mount Kit (for all vehicles):  For use with any vehicle. Can be used on side of vehicle (under two wheels on same side) or front or rear (under both front or both rear wheels). Awning legs slide in and out to accommodate any wheelbase. Kit includes two wheel mounts plus leg extensions.  $34.95 per set.    Order part # WM7905 at bottom of page.
     
  •  Jackpoint / Wheel Mount Kit (for VW Bus or Vanagon):  Similar to the above, but can also be used in your Bus or Vanagon's stock jacking points instead of under the tires. Not for Vanagons that have fiberglass cladding in front of jackpoints. Kit includes two wheel mounts plus leg extensions.  $39.95 per set.   Order part # JP7905 at bottom of page

 

 

Goes up in minutes ... on virtually any vehicle...

As shipped, the Ezy-Awning attaches to the rain gutter of a Volkswagen Bus or Vanagon (with or without poptop), or any other vehicle with a similar rain gutter, by way of a pole that clamps inside the gutter. Add the following optional mounts (from just $6.95) to attach the Ezy Awning to virtually any other vehicle - an SUV, van, minivan, pickup truck, camper, camping trailer, you name it. Use it on any side of your vehicle, as a portable carport while working on your vehicle, or even at home over your patio. (Note: these mounts can be used for our Add-A-Room as well.)

  • Hook and Loop Strap Kit:  This heavy-duty Velcro-style strap kit is a quickest, easiest way to affix the Ezy-Awning to most SUV's, minivans, and station wagons. If you have a vehicle with a roof rack, just wrap these strong (21 lb.shear stength) hook-and-loop straps around  the vertical awning rail and the side rail of your roof rack (or any other suitable point on your vehicle). Also can be used to attach the awning to a suitable point on your home, deck or patio - or anywhwere you can strap it to a fixed object. Price is for 1 yard (about 1m) of heavy-duty strap, which you can cut into any number of smaller straps to suit your needs. One yard is usually plenty for making several Awning straps. However many people order extra to use around their camper, car, or home, since this is a very practical strap for so many things. $6.95 (one yard).  Order part # VSTRAP at bottom of page.
  • Suction Cup Mount Kit:  For use on surfaces or vehicles that lack a rain gutter or roof rack. Also can be used on the front or rear of a Bus or Vanagon. $54.95 per set.  Order part # A9013 at bottom of page
     
  • Eurovan Poptop Camper Strap Kit:  For Eurovans with Pop Tops. These allow you to use your awning with the poptop raised. (To use it with the top closed, you will need the suction cup mounts above.) They are small, install easily, and are not visible at all when the top is closed. $29.95 per set.   Order part # A9014 at bottom of page.

... or Free-Standing, on no vehicle at all.

Our new Freestanding Kit allows the Ezy-Awning to function as a standalone shelter. Now you can use it at home in the backyard when not on a road trip. Or leave it set up on your campsite when you leave for a day trip. Just $19.95.  Order part # FK7905 at bottom of page.

 

Choose our classic Ezy-Awning for $119 ... or "Super Size" it for $149!

The standard Ezy-Awning (which is the version pictured above) is approximately 8 x 8 feet, and well suited for many vehicles. But for years our customers have been asking for a larger version that provides more shade and covers the entire length of their vehicle. We're happy to announce that now you have a choice!  At 11 feet across, our new Ezy Awning Plus provides about 1/3 more shade, yet still fits in the same size bag when packed down.  

Choose either size below, plus any mounts or kits that you may want, to customize your Ezy-Awning to your needs.

Note: We offer a 30 day return policy on the Ezy-Awning as per our usual terms (10% restocking fee for refund, waived for store credit). However, due to abuse of our policy (people "borrowing" an awning for vacation and then returning it), we cannot take back used awnings. Please check your awning and box contents upon receipt prior to taking it camping. Feel free to set it up on your driveway or indoors, and return it if not completely satisfied. We will take it back as long as it is in brand new condition, in the original box with all parts and accessories intact.
