A vehicle awning is a portable shelter that can be attached to the side of a vehicle, such as a van or trailer, and deployed to create shade or shelter from the elements. They are often made of durable, waterproof materials such as canvas or polyester and can be set up quickly and easily. Some vehicle awnings are designed to be attached to the roof of a vehicle, while others are mounted on the side. They can be a useful accessory for camping or road trips, as they provide a place to sit or sleep when you are on the go.
