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. Now
in your choice of TWO sizes! Scroll Down

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

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

- 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

...
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.

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.
