“Our shelter pod has proved to be very versatile and sturdy. We have used it for single nights and week long camps in all weathers and it has held up beautifully. We are extremely happy with our purchase.”

“Worked fine, but getting the van back to exactly the same spot after a day away is necessary for reattaching to the strip; impossible, so we used the alternative straps and all was well!”

Hi Graham, glad you managed to reattach with the webbing straps! We always recommend marking out where the tyres are before driving away so you can line it up again when you return for easy reattachment. Good luck for next time :)

“We are chuffed with it, it's the perfect size, same powder blue colour as our T2 campervan. It is trickier to put up than was stated, but we managed it, and we're getting quicker each time we do! We love that there is a space between the campervan and the sheltapod, but still with cover over.”

“Brilliant piece of kit. Although a little tricky to get the poles in, despite following the technique described in the vids. (Probably me😂) This is recommended for all types of vehicles, I have T5 and is perfect fit, and for the nice weather.”

“Have had a Sheltapod for nearly 2 years now and used it a lot. Easy to attach to the van, but you do need to look at the ground before you pitch it to make sure it pitches symetrically; sometimes the terrain forces running the guys differently to maintain its shape. Stands up well in high wind and rain and has not leaked. We regularly drive away from it, just need well placed tent pegs to re-align the van to reconnect on return. We like the fact that there is a space between the tent and the van; we have a dog and this provides sufficient space for her to move around a bit. Also keeps cooking smells away from the van. Have looked at lots of other drive away awnings, but to date have not found anything better!”

“Feeling the love for our Sheltapod. We used ours regularly when we head out in our VW T4 Camper. So many variations to choose from once you have it, awning, storage tent, second bedroom, external kitchen, sun canopy, wind break. Stylish, novel, modern, head turning pod that many other campers come & check out.....some very clever people really thought about this! Ultimate best point - the oversized carry bag makes packing down & away a dream!”

“Need to practice putting it up a few times before you get to a site, practice required to get poles into place. Good once up and gives you flexible space.”

“We really like our SheltaPod. My only suggestion for improvement would be that it could do with having a slightly smaller footprint in terms of space it takes up from van connection to the end of the awning. It's too large for most campsite pitches so sometimes attracts complaints from campsite managers. Other than that we love it and it's the best awning we've found to date.”

Thanks for the review, great to hear you're loving your SheltaPod! We will email you now with details of a workaround to reduce your footprint and bring the pod closer to the tent.

“We have used this for short camping trips and longer stays. It works week and attaches to our van. It’s more suited to short term needs and is light and small enough to cart about.”

“Although have only used once, it proved to be a great asset on a very wet day. Attached to campervan as an orienteering registration base and proved to be a great shelter for officials and competitors alike. A great buy.”

“I really liked the idea of the shelta pod but I returned it as it simply does stand up to slight British weather. I Also did not find it easy, rather unenjoyable to put up. If you could guarantee every time I went camping there was no wind or any rain at all then maybe I would have kept it. I purchased two of the sheltapods, one for a friend. He had the same view as myself but he decided to keep it as one that stays on the van for the odd days we do at summer. I believe the shelter pod has been updated since I had mine and they have listened to purchasers, to rectify problems. I can’t comment on the updated pods but I hope they are more stable now as I think the idea is great and I wish them the best.”
