Thule 5200 Awning Mystic Grey – 3.0m is a purpose‑built, side‑wall mounted canopy designed to extend your outdoor living space with minimal effort. Crafted for caravans, motorhomes and vans, this 3.0m awning delivers dependable shade, rain protection and a streamlined look that blends with modern recreational vehicles.

Why this Thule 5200 stands out comes from thoughtful engineering that makes setup faster, safer, and more reliable year after year. The design keeps the legs tucked and drop vertically as you wind out the awning, reducing the risk of contact with your vehicle. When you extend, you get a generous 2.5m projection for a welcoming shade zone that doesn’t intrude on your doorway or access.

• Side-wall mounting integrates neatly with the vehicle’s profile, delivering a clean, low‑profile look while preserving interior space.
• Projection of 2.5m creates a comfortable outdoor living area—great for meals, lounging, or sheltered entry.
• Mystic Grey canopy on a white cassette combines a contemporary aesthetic with durable, single‑sheet fabric that’s welded at the seams for excellent waterproofing.
• Lighter fabric helps maintain tension over time, reducing roof puddling and keeping the canopy taut even after seasons of use.
• Vertical leg drop during winding minimizes the chance of hitting the vehicle, protecting your investment on every setup.
• Quick Lock system makes setting and adjusting the support legs straightforward—no fiddly steps, just solid, repeatable positioning.
• System allows opening/closing with the van door open by setting the angle as you please, giving you flexibility in tight spaces.
• Cassette adjustment ensures a precise, years‑long seal for smooth operation and reliable closure.
• Front drainage profile channels water and debris away, keeping the canopy area clean and easy to maintain.
• Optional rail covers the gap under the awning and offers two practical options: install a Thule tent or add a vertical LED strip. A simple vertical lowering system helps you deploy the legs safely without risking the vehicle.
• Manual operation with retrofit motor option gives you the choice between hands‑on control or motorized convenience when you’re heading off on longer trips.
• Integrated tension arms are not included, keeping the design lean while maintaining reliable performance.
