The most popular awning for motorhomes are the free standing or driveaway kinds. These allow you to depart from any camp site and not have to go through the hassle of taking everything down again. When you come back you just need to drive alongside the awning and throw the connecting straps over the side of the motorhome and your back to where you started. The connecting equipment is very simple to use, and most have a quick release mechanism.

If you don’t want to attach it then there are true driveaway motorhome awnings that don’t even touch the motorhome. This can be very useful in high winds because they will not damage the supports and the actual motorhome, giving you more peace of mind, and making them safer to use.
