Shelter · Kitchen · Mounting
Shade and shelter that inflates in minutes. A kitchen that folds out of a bag. Mounting accessories for whatever you drive. Buy one piece — the rest fits it later.
"The lightest, most compact vehicle awning on the market."
— GearJunkie, Best in Show, Overland Expo West 2025
Two flagships
Most people start with one and come back for the other. Both work alone, and neither needs installation, a drill, or a vehicle-specific kit.
Shelter
Pump to 8 PSI and you have 42 sq ft of shade. Air-supported struts instead of poles — nothing to bend, nothing to break. Add up to three Annex Walls to close it in.
Kitchen
A bag that opens into a prep station. A 12 × 18" bamboo cutting board folds out with utensils, bottles and cups stay organized behind it. Hang it on the vehicle or set it on a tailgate.
Workspace™
Say goodbye to the bulky plastic bin. The entire camp kitchen packs into one accessible system — then the face folds down and it becomes the counter you prep on.
Ballistic D1200 polyester and TPU, built to take abuse. Works as a coffee station, a serving station, a remote office, or a mobile bar — the panels don't care what you put in them.
A 12 × 18" bamboo cutting board is the front of the bag. Drop it and you have a counter.
Utensil panel holds four place settings. Separate panel for bottles and cups.
Hang it from a factory rack or on a vehicle door, use it on a truck bed rack or setup on a tailgate or picnic table.
The Workspace Camp Kitchen, simplified
For the minimalist
A waterproof-zippered knife and utensil case that opens flat like a book. Bamboo cutting board on one side, utility panel on the other. Close it and it's weatherproof. Open it and you're ready to cook.
The Camp Collection
Your essentials, all in their place. Cold Cube keeps provisions chilled. Wet Dry 100 insulates your bottle. Stash containers keep dry goods out of the cooler. The Blade Sheath keeps your knife secure. Each piece nests inside Workspace at camp’s end—and earns its keep on its own.

A chill packing cube for eight 12 oz cans. Lays flat when open. Nests into the Workspace or rides alone.
Shop →Insulated wet bag with an ice pack sleeve — a 750 ml bottle chiller that also holds cans, keys and a phone.
Shop →Capped dry-storage capsules with anti-microbial lining. Coffee, oats, pasta, nuts. Two sizes.
Shop →Fixed-blade storage that fits the loops already in the Workspace utensil panel.
Shop →Why air
The awning came out of kiteboarding, not patio furniture. Russ had been flying inflatable kites since 2000 — so when snow kept dumping on his head during après outside the van, he took an old kite and built an awning from it.
AirHaven Now Gen 4. The most compact and lightweight vehicle awning in the marketplace keeps getting better.
Less kit, not less capability.
Measured, not estimated
Modular
Up to three Annex Walls turn shade into an enclosed room — mesh windows for airflow, solid for weather.
Shop Annex Walls →Packs down
Awning deflates to 20 × 18 × 5. Kitchen folds shut and carries with backpack or shoulder strap. Nothing lives on the roof year-round.
See the setup videos →FlexMount
No roof rack? Need an attachment point? Using FlexMount is how an awning can hold to a bare van or sidewall and much more. FlexMounts are versatile attachment anchors that use 3M VHB — the connective layer between your gear and your ride.
Note: AirHaven and Workspace both ship with unique mounting straps for securing to your vehicles roof rack. See product pages for more info. FlexMount are additional anchor points.

3M VHB pads bond to fiberglass. metal, more. Clean the surface, press for 60 seconds, wait 24 hours before load. Semi-permanent.
For use where you need an anchor point and none are available.
Loop through daisy chain on our bags then a molle panel or around a rack and cinch Workspace Bags securely for transport.
We use these everywhere. Secure a Workspace bag, or other gear where you need it.
FlexMount + Rubber straps are a great combo for all sorts of applications when nothing else is available. Our rubber straps can hold the Workspace on a van ladder or a truck bed-rack or to our FlexMounts.
One mounting layer for your gear.

About us · White Salmon, WA
I'm Russ Woolsey. I founded Daylodge during the Covid-19 lockdown, when public spaces closed and getting outside meant rethinking how we did it. Our vehicles stopped being just transportation and became our day lodges — basecamps for adventure, work, and life on the move.
I'd been kiteboarding since 2000, so I knew how air-inflated structures work. After one too many après sessions with snow dumping on our heads outside the van at Mount Baker, I took an old kite and made an awning. First real test was in the wind at Rufus — that's when I knew.
Everything is still designed and prototyped out of our studio — a garage — in White Salmon. When you email us, it lands with the people who built the thing.
