Adventure Made Easy with Thule Awnings and Motors
6th Jan 2026

A Thule awning is one of the easiest ways to add instant shelter to your RV, caravan or motorhome. Whether you are stopping for lunch or setting up for a longer stay, Thule awnings are designed to be strong, reliable and simple to use, with options to suit different vehicles and travel styles.
Thule offers several awning models, with the Thule Omnistor 5200 and 6300 being two of the most popular choices.
-
Thule Omnistor 5200
A versatile, wall mounted awning that suits a wide range of RVs and caravans. It is lightweight, compact and ideal for travellers who want a dependable awning without adding unnecessary bulk. -
Thule Omnistor 6300
A roof mounted awning with a sleek design that integrates neatly with your vehicle. It offers a larger projection and a more streamlined look, making it a great option for motorhomes and higher rooflines.
Both models are built with durable materials and designed to handle regular use on the road.
Motorised Awning Upgrades
For added convenience, both the 5200 and 6300 series awnings can be upgraded with a Thule motor. Motorisation allows you to extend or retract your awning smoothly at the push of a button, making setup quicker and easier.
Motorised awnings are especially useful if you:
-
Want fast, effortless setup and pack down
-
Have limited mobility or strength
-
Regularly adjust your awning throughout the day for sun or shade
Thule motors are designed specifically for their awning systems, ensuring a reliable fit and smooth operation when paired with the correct model.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you already have a Thule 5200 or 6300 awning, adding a motor can be a practical upgrade that improves ease of use. If you are choosing a new awning, considering motorisation from the start can help future proof your setup and add everyday comfort to your travels.
