TOP OF THE RANGE POLYCOTTON DRIVE-AWAY WITH ADD-ONS
High model fits height range of 255cm to 305cm
Introducing the Movelite T4E PC, the flagship model in our drive-away awning range.
The familiar footprint of the top-selling Movelite T4 has been recreated in our exquisite breathable Polycotton Fabric, perfect for hotter climates and built to withstand extended amounts of UV exposure whilst being incredibly waterproof.
Now available in varying connection heights to suit vehicles with an awning rail height from 180cm to 305cm, and with all the premium features you would expect from our high-end Movelite Range,
this awning has the useful feature of a back door which allows for the connection of an optional zip-on bedroom annex.
This can create a private and enclosable permanent sleeping or storage space without encroaching on the large internal living area. 2-berth and 4-berth inner tents are also available should you wish to opt for the traditional tunnel layout.
To further increase usable sheltered space, the built-in front porch can be fully enclosed using an optional porch door.
This windowed porch door is complete with a full mesh panel, as well as zip-up curtains.
There is also a zip to allow attachment of a large Sun Canopy which can fix either directly to the awning, or via the additional zip track on the optional Porch Door.
If you are searching for comfort and quality in a versatile drive-away awning, look no further than the Movelite T4E PC.

UV Degradation:
Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time.
Polyester Awnings & Tents regardless of quality of denier material are made for camping use which is normally 2-5 weeks usage a year.
They are not designed for permanent usage and should only be used as camping products.
Camping near the sea or lake can further enhance the effect of UV radiation.
The same applies to poles and metal parts
"UV light will cause the fabric to fade, lose strength, and eventually disintegrate. The amount of UV damage is directly related to the fabric's exposure to the sun and the altitude at which the tent is pitched.
If it is left pitched during the day, high-altitude exposure can damage a tent beyond use within a month."
What is UV Degradation?
UV degradation refers to the breaking down of fabrics and materials, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, due to exposure to the sun. Long term exposure to sunlight, can cause fabric such as polyester to degrade, beginning to rip, tear and become very brittle.
Why Do Manufacturers not cover UV Degradation Under Warranty?
UV degradation is a sign the product has reached a natural end to it's lifetime. There are different fabrics, different thicknesses of fabric, and treatments to help protect against exposure to sunlight.
However, given time, the sun will do it's job in breaking down those materials, to the point where they become unstable.
If a polyester tent or awning has suffered UV degradation, chances are it has been used to the point where its lifetime is ending, or it has been permanently pitched.
Polyester Tents & Awnings are a temporary shelter, and they are not designed to be left long-term pitched, unless they are specifically designed for residential pitches, and use harder wearing fabrics such as 100% cottons, which can take exposure to UV light on a longer-term basis.
Polyester Tents & Awnings have it pretty rough. Their purpose is to keep you protected from the elements, so by definition, they’re exposed to nature’s fury. Season after season, your trusty tent or tarp is subjected to wind, rain, dust, snow, hail, animals, and (sometimes) careless users.
But for a shelter that has been treated well over the years, the thing that will eventually kill it is something you might not expect: the sun.
In addition to visible light, the sun emits a massive amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than visible light and is present wherever there is sunlight.
While inorganic materials (like silicone and metal) are largely unaffected by UV radiation, organic compounds (i.e., anything containing carbon, not just your fancy kale) can be damaged by exposure to UV.
This includes all organic polymers, whether synthetic (like nylon and polyester) or naturally occurring (like cotton and wool).
