Thule Awning for VW T5 & T6: Engineered for adventure
Lightweight and stable
Thule's engineers have worked their magic, shrinking the roller tube to cut weight without sacrificing stability. Less weight means better fuel economy and easier set-up - a win-win.
Smooth operation from redesigned legs
The redesigned legs drop straight down when you wind out the awning, meaning you're less likely to accidentially damage your van. No more awkward fumbling or potential scratches.
Weather-beating fabric
One single sheet with welded joints keeps light rain at bay, while the lighter material maintains better tension. Say goodbye to saggy awnings and pooling water.

Size options for different wheelbases
Whether you've got a short wheelbase or long wheelbase T5 or T6, there's a size to fit. It's a 2.60m length for SWB and 3.00m for LWB.
Three colour choices
White, Anodised (that's silver to you and me), or Anthracite (fancy wording for black) - pick the one that best complements your van's paintwork.
Adjustable, so you get perfection
Even after years of use, you can tweak the cassette for that satisfying click when it opens and closes. It's the little things, right?

How to choose the right Thule Omnistor Awning for your VW T5 or T6
Your VW van's wheelbase determines which awning size you'll need. Both options come with the necessary adapter.

Thule Omnistor Awning for VW T5 FAQs
Will this awning fit my VW T5/T6 with a pop-top roof? (click to see answer)
Absolutely! This kit is specifically designed for VW T5 & T6 vans with lift roofs but will also work with fixed roofs. The adapters mount on the edge of the roof and sidewall, so you don't need a roof rail.
How long is the awning, and how far does it stick out?
That depends on your van. For short wheelbase (SWB) T5 and T6 vans, you're looking at a 2.60m long awning with a 2.00m projection. If you've got a long wheelbase (LWB), it's 3.00m long with a 2.50m projection.
Is it a faff to put up?
Not at all. It uses an easy-to-use telescopic hand crank with a Rapid Gear system. Plus, the newly designed legs drop straight down when you wind it out, making setup a breeze and reducing the risk of scratching your van.
What colours does it come in?
You've got three choices for the cassette: White, Anodised (silver), or Anthracite (black). The actual awning fabric comes in a versatile Mystic Grey.
Can I add any extras to it?
You bet! It's compatible with Thule's QuickFit and EasyLink systems, and you can even pair it with a Thule Residence Tent for enclosed living space. There's also an optional Tension Rafter G2 available if you want extra stability.
