Vango Balletto Air 260 ProShield Awning 2023

Product Information

The Balletto ProShield is the next model up from Vango’s normal ‘Shield’ version and, even though it shares the same DNA, it is clear that this is the more premium version. Vango have completely redesigned their caravan awning collection and the new range of awnings each have something different about them. The Balletto Pro has been designed to be easy to pitch, good quality and have a high level of spec. The Elements ProShield material is a very waterproof 300D fabric which also has Vango’s ColourLok technology built in. This helps aid colour retention, so the awing looks sharper for longer. The Balletto is available in three different sizes (260, 330 & 390). You can choose the right size for your caravan. The Vango Balletto Shield caravan awning is the perfect awning for spending time with friends and family on the campsite.

It is clear that Vango have really thought about every aspect of the awning as it is the fine details that count. Small touches such as oversized zips, easy to handle zip runners and buckle clips make using the awning easy to use day to day. As standard the awning has a built-in roof lining which helps to reduce condensation while giving a more homely feel. This is not a feature you see from any other awning brands. All of the panels can be completely removed from the awning to help reduce the pull through weight and make storing/moving the awning more manageable. Optional annexes can also be put onto either side of the awning to sleep extra guests or use as extra storage. Enjoy all-round views day or night with the large Diamond Clear Windows or adjust the fully zipped curtains for more privacy.

Pitching the awning is now a dream as Vango have developed a new and revolutionary AirBeam® Single Point Inflation system which also has Multiple Deflation points for a quick pitch and pack time. In short this leaves you with more time to enjoy your break. The inflatable structure combined with the Elements ProShield Fabric means it is still robust and perfect for touring use, while having room for all the family. Benefiting from Vango’s Draught Seal System and draught skirt, to keep your awning comfortable even in breezy conditions, the Balletto is equally as perfect for socialising as it is for relaxing.

The Balletto ProShield impressively comes with a lot of accessories which would normally be considered an optional extra. Things like the draught skirt, wheel arch cover, manual pump, storm straps, roof lining, DSS and rock pegs. So, when this is taken into consideration the Vango Balletto is also great value for money.
