Awnlux W5810 Full Cassette RV Awning

W5810 Roof mount cassette awning

The Awnlux W5810 is a compact manual roof-mount awning for camper vans and smaller motorhomes where conventional wall-mounting space is limited. Its full cassette encloses the fabric and internal components during travel, while the support legs store inside the front bar for a compact integrated design.It is the standard solution for Sprinter and Transit van conversions with high-roof bodies, for motorhomes with curved fiberglass sides, and for any RV where the window or door layout makes wall mounting impractical.

Designed for RV manufacturers, van converters and distributors, the W5810 is available with OEM frame colors, branding and model-specific mounting support.

The W5810 is the compact version of the W5800 roof-mount series. It is lighter, narrower in cassette profile, and manual-only — a deliberate trade-off that makes it more cost-effective and easier to handle on smaller vehicles. The support legs store inside the front bar when retracted, which keeps the cassette profile slim and prevents the legs from snagging during vehicle travel. Internally, the support arm uses a wide cloth strip reinforcement instead of a steel wire, which holds its shape and tension better over years of regular use.

For OEM buyers and van builders, the W5810 is a practical entry point for roof-mount awning supply. It is CE and EN 13561:2015 certified, carries an EU registered design patent, and is available with custom frame colors and OEM branding. It has been supplied to van conversion shops in Europe, Australia, and North America as a standard catalogue item.

Important Operating Notes

The awning must be fully retracted and secured before the vehicle moves. Retract the awning during strong winds or rapidly changing weather, and do not leave it extended unattended.

Maintain an appropriate downward pitch for rainwater drainage. Installation must account for the vehicle roof structure, bracket position, doors, windows, vents and other roof-mounted equipment.

Q1:Why choose a roof-mount awning instead of a wall-mount model?

If your van or RV has no flat vertical wall surface where a bracket can sit cleanly, a wall-mount awning simply will not work. The most common situations are: large windows that run close to the roof edge, curved or sloped side panels (common on fiberglass motorhomes), and doors or steps that sit too close to the only available wall space. The W5810 mounts on the roof and bypasses all of these issues. If you have a flat wall with enough clearance, a wall-mount model like the W5510 or W5500 is simpler and costs less.

Q2: What is the difference between W5810 and W5800?

Both are full cassette roof-mount awnings. W5810 is the compact, lighter, manual-only version — maximum 350cm wide, support legs stored inside the front bar, wide cloth-strip arm reinforcement. W5800 is the standard larger version — up to 600cm wide, motorized option available, support legs behind the front bar, steel wire arm reinforcement. W5810 is more economical and suits smaller vehicles; W5800 is for larger motorhomes or buyers who want motorized control.

Q3: Can W5810 be installed on a Sprinter or Transit van?

The W5810 may be suitable for certain Mercedes-Benz Sprinter conversions, particularly where the curved upper body limits wall-mounting space. Compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle year, roof profile, available mounting length and bracket position.

Q4: Is the W5810 certified for European markets?

Yes. The W5810 holds EN 13561:2015 certification and CE marking under the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive — both issued by UDEM International Certification and valid until February 2031. These certificates are included in our standard product documentation package for distributors.

Q5: Can I get the W5810 with custom branding?

Yes. OEM custom logo options include laser engraving and metal sticker on the cassette end cap. Custom frame colors beyond standard black and white are available for OEM orders. Contact our team with your required size and annual volume for a detailed OEM proposal.

Q6: What is the lead time for W5810?

Lead time depends on the selected size, quantity, frame color and customization requirements. Contact Awnlux with your order details to receive the current production schedule and packing calculation.
