Thule Omnistor Comparison Table
Thule wind out awnings can be seen on leisure vehicles all around the world.
Designed to offer reliable shelter outside your RV, these cassette-shaped awnings are hugely popular and come in three main ranges:
- Wall-mounted awnings: Providing a stable and secure fit, popular due to their ease of installation and stability during use. They can also don't impact your vehicle's maximum height.
- Roof-mounted awnings: Compact and easy to use, these are often preferred when space is a constraint or if the vehicle's structure requires a top-mounted option.
- Rail-mounted: Less common, but the easiest to install and the only non-permanent fitting - these can simply slide onto an existing rail, for example on a caravan.
Check out the table below for a full overview of Thule Omnistor awnings.
*Both the Thule Omnistor 8000 and 9200 require a specific adapter to be able to be used on a caravan.
Thule Awning Tents
Alongside a cassette awning, Thule also offers a range of awning tents that provide an enclosed space for you to relax and unwind in.
Want extra protection from the sun? Has the British summer taken a turn for the worst? No problem, head inside and you can still enjoy a view of the great outdoors.
When purchasing this type of awning, it's worth considering:
- Compatibility: The type of Thule Omnistor awning you have will determine which of these tents you can use.
- Usage: If you're looking for something quick and simple for short trips, then the QuickFit tent might be your best option. Whereas if you're setting up for something longer-term then the Panorama Awning Room or Veduta Tent are likely better options.
- Budget: They come at different price points - often a symbol of the materials they're made from and features they come with.
