Caravan Privacy Screens

Caravan Privacy Screen Guide

A caravan privacy screen solves one of the biggest challenges at busy parks: keeping your outdoor area private and comfortable. Campsites often sit close together, so a screen creates a private zone where neighbours can’t see straight into your setup. It also blocks harsh Australian sun, reduces glare and softens wind so you can enjoy your awning space for longer.

Many travellers also use a privacy screen to make their caravan awning feel like an extra room. The mesh adds shade without closing the space in, and it helps keep the area cooler on hot days. It is ideal for relaxing, cooking or sitting outdoors without feeling exposed.

We offer a range of caravan privacy screens and shades, including brands like Aussie Traveller, Camec, CGear, Coast to Coast, Supex, Thule and more. You can shop these screens at Outback Equipment with confidence. Our team is ready to help you find the perfect fit for your caravan type, and you can call us or visit us if you need advice before you buy.

What Else You Might Need

• Pegs, Guy Ropes Keep your screen anchored and ensure the screen stays taut on soft or uneven ground.
• Awning Accessories Small items like clamps, velcro straps and attachment points help tailor your setup.
• Caravan Mats Improve comfort under your outdoor area and keep the space clean and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size caravan privacy screen do I need?

Measure the full length of your awning roller. Match this measurement to the screen dimension to ensure the screen will suit your caravan type.

Can a privacy screen replace an annex wall?

A privacy screen is lighter and offers airflow, but it will not seal the area like an annex. If you want full weather protection or a closed room, annex walls are the better choice. Many travellers use both depending on the season.

Can I leave my privacy screen up overnight?

Yes. Most screens are fine to leave up as long as the awning is secured. If strong winds are expected, take the screen down or shorten the setup.

Does the screen need maintenance?

You only need to rinse it and let it dry before storage. Check stitching and reinforced tabs now and then to ensure long-term durability.
