Awnlux W5510 Full Cassette RV Awning — Manual or Smart Electric

Wall mount cassette awning

The Awnlux W5510 is a compact, full cassette RV awning designed for wall-mount installation on vans, small caravans, Class B and Class C motorhomes, and camper trailers. It is available in two control versions — manual and Smart electric — making it one of the few cassette awnings in this size class that can be operated from a mobile app, an in-cabin control panel, or a vehicle control system, depending on how your RV is set up.

The W5510 is certified to EN 13561:2015 and carries CE marking under the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive, making it compliant for European market distribution without additional testing. The exterior design is protected by an EU registered design patent. Both control versions carry the same certifications.

The full cassette shell seals the fabric, roller tube, and internal mechanism when the awning is retracted. Road grit, UV exposure, rain, and debris do not reach the fabric during travel — a practical advantage for buyers who drive long routes between camps. The support legs store inside the front bar, not behind it, keeping the cassette profile slim and preventing the legs from snagging during vehicle movement. The support arm uses a wide cloth-strip reinforcement internally, which holds rigidity better over years of daily use than the thin steel-wire construction used in comparable products.

The W5510 is available in two control configurations. The manual version uses a crank handle with no electrical parts — the most reliable option for off-grid builds or buyers who want nothing that can fail electronically. The Smart electric version replaces a basic motor switch with a multi-modal control system: Bluetooth mobile app, an in-cabin control panel, and integration with the vehicle's existing control unit — all three control modes work simultaneously and independently. For OEM buyers, both versions are available with custom frame colors, private label branding, and tailored sizing within the 200–400cm range.

Q1: What control versions are available for the W5510?

The W5510 is available in two versions. Manual: crank handle only, no electrical parts, best for off-grid builds. Smart Electric: adds Bluetooth mobile app control (iOS & Android, ~10m range, no WiFi needed), an in-cabin control panel, and vehicle system integration — all three control modes work simultaneously. The Smart version includes an emergency crank-handle backup for manual closure if power fails.

Q2: How does the Bluetooth app control work?

The Smart version's motor module connects to your phone via Bluetooth (iOS and Android, no internet required). Within approximately 10 metres, you can open, close, and set a preferred extension position from the app. The app does not replace the control panel or crank backup — both methods remain available at all times.

Q3: Can I integrate the W5510 Smart version with my van's existing control system?

Yes. The Smart version connects to a standard 12V smart controller and can be added to the same control interface as your vehicle's lighting, ventilation, and other smart systems. Confirm your existing controller model with our technical team before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Q4: Does the Smart version auto-retract in wind?

Not by default. Auto-retraction requires an optional wind sensor add-on, which triggers retraction when wind speed exceeds a set threshold. The Smart version's app and panel give you fast manual retraction from inside the vehicle — which most users find sufficient for typical campsite conditions.

Q5: What is the difference between W5510 and W5500?

W5510 is lighter, more compact, and the only model in this range to offer Smart control (App + Panel + Vehicle integration). W5500 offers manual and standard electric versions but not Smart control. W5500 also covers a wider size range (150–450cm vs 200–400cm) and uses a steel-wire arm reinforcement instead of the cloth-strip system in W5510. Choose W5510 for Smart-enabled builds and weight-sensitive vehicles; choose W5500 for wider coverage or if motorized without Smart is sufficient.

Q6: What is the difference between W5510 and W5810?

Both are compact cassette awnings for similar vehicle types, but the installation method is different. W5510 mounts on the vertical side wall (wall mount). W5810 mounts on the roof edge (roof mount) — suited to vans where the side wall is curved or blocked by doors and windows. W5510 covers 200–400cm; W5810 covers the same range. W5510 is available in Manual or Smart Electric. W5810 is manual only.

Q7: Is the W5510 certified for European markets?

Yes. Both control versions of the W5510 hold 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. The exterior design is also protected by an EU registered design patent.

Q8: What is the lead time?

Standard lead time is 7–10 working days for orders under 50 sets. Container orders (approx. 180 sets / 20GP) take approximately 20 days. Smart version and OEM custom orders may need additional lead time — confirm with our team before committing to your production schedule.
