Thule Subsola: A modular solution for privacy and weather protection

Outdoor living is a natural part of life on the road. Whether you travel with a camper van, motorhome or caravan, the area outside your vehicle quickly becomes a place to relax, cook and connect.

Thule RV awning panels help turn that space into a comfortable extension of your vehicle. They provide shade, privacy and weather protection, making it easier to enjoy the outdoors, wherever your journey takes you.

Today, many travelers are looking for more flexible solutions. Instead of fixed walls and rigid layouts, a modular RV awning panel system offers a new way to shape your outdoor living space.

The Thule Subsola pack system is designed around flexibility within a predefined setup. Each pack consists of multiple triangular panels that work together, allowing you to combine, angle, and reposition them depending on your needs.


• Flexible set-ups using predefined panels
• Multiple configuration options within the same pack
• Quick and straightforward installation, typically taking around 5 minutes
• Easy adjustments throughout the day

This makes it easy to adapt your outdoor area as conditions change, from morning sun to afternoon heat, or from open views to added privacy.

For camper vans and compact vehicles, it helps create a defined outdoor area that stays light, open, and adaptable — ideal for travelers who move frequently or camp in changing environments.

For motorhomes and caravans, Thule Subsola adds comfort and flexibility around the awning. Shade can be created where it is needed most, privacy added without fully enclosing the space, while airflow and an open feel are maintained.

Many RV owners are familiar with classic awning products such as sun blockers, rain blockers, wind screens, and view blockers. These solutions are designed for specific purposes and work well when targeted protection is needed around the awning.

• Traditional awning panels
• Fixed shape and position
• Designed for specific use cases rather than flexible layouts
• Typically provide partial enclosure, depending on the panel type
• Clear single-function purpose

• Flexible set-ups using triangular panels
• Designed for open, adaptable outdoor spaces
• Multi-purpose use throughout the day

Rather than replacing traditional solutions, Thule Subsola complements them, offering a more flexible way to adjust privacy, shade, and weather protection as conditions change.

Panels attach intuitively to the awning — either via the awning rail at the front or the tension rafter at the side — and connect to each other using integrated zippers. Telescopic support poles make it easy to fine-tune angles and height.


• Adjust panels as the sun moves
• Open or close sections as needed
• Reconfigure the setup without starting from scratch

This ease of use makes Thule Subsola practical for everyday camping.

Yes. One of the key advantages of Thule Subsola is its modular design. You can start with a basic front or side setup by using a single panel from the pack, and later add more panels to enclose a larger part of the awning area. The setup can be further expanded by adding additional Thule Subsola M panels or an extra Thule Subsola support pole, allowing it to adapt as your needs or travel style change.
