The Thule 4200 Awning 4.0m Mystic Grey is a purpose‑built shelter designed to extend your outdoor living space from caravans, motorhomes, or vans with ease. Its clean, integrated look blends with your vehicle while delivering dependable shade and weather protection when you’re on the road or at the camp. Key features that set this canopy apart - Side-wall mounting for caravans, motorhomes, or vans, maximizing space along the vehicle without intruding on the entry or storage. - Generous 4.0 m box length and 2.50 m projection create a spacious shaded area for seating, tables, and outdoor gear. - Manual operation with a telescopic hand crank for smooth, reliable opening and closing—no power source required. - Innovative leg design: the support legs drop vertically as you wind out the awning, reducing the risk of striking or damaging your vehicle during setup. - One‑piece welded canopy fabric delivers excellent waterproofing and long‑lasting performance; a lighter fabric helps retain tension and minimizes roof puddling. - Sealing rubber with an integrated drainage system channels rainwater away automatically, keeping your living space dry and comfortable. - The canopy cassette presents a sleek white finish paired with Mystic Grey fabric for a refined, integrated vehicle look. - Patented roller tube support system enhances fabric tension, reducing wrinkles and ensuring a taut canopy over time. - Oval support legs release vertically from the lead rail for simple deployment and added protection against vehicle contact. - Practical design note: this model does not include integrated tension arms and is configured for reliable external stabilization with standard mounting. What this means in real use - Quick, predictable setup: the hand crank and vertical leg release streamline pitching your shade after a day on the road or at the campsite. - Durable protection in changing weather: welded seams and a waterproof canopy keep rain out and your outdoor space usable, rain or shine. - Minimal impact on your vehicle: the vertical leg drop and refined end cap shape integrate neatly with your exterior, reducing the risk of scrapes or pressure on doors and panels. - Flexible living space: the 4.0 m length and 2.50 m projection cover a seating area, a compact lounge, or a small cooking zone, letting you enjoy alfresco moments comfortably.
