Nordic Stealth
Awning System.
The awning you don't see until you need it. Only a slim rail stays on the roof, the rest packs away inside the van. And at 15 kg it is up to 20 kg lighter than a normal awning.

Most awnings stay on the van all year. The big box sits on the roof whether you use the shade or not, and that never really made sense to us.
With us, the only fixed part is a slim aluminium rail. The sail, the poles and all the fittings pack into a bag inside the van, and when you drive off there is nothing to see.
That is why it is called NordicStealth.
The Rail Stays Put.
Three pieces of powder-coated aluminium join into one rail that clips onto the van's own factory anchor points on the roof with small adapters. No drilling, sealing or holes, and the rail can be taken off again without leaving a mark. It stays on, but changes nothing on the van permanently.
14.5 m² Deployed.
The marine fabric filters the sunlight, and under the awning there is plenty of room for a table, chairs and shade for the whole group. Six ground anchors and reinforced poles keep the sail taut, even when the weather turns, and you set it up the same way every time.
Into the track, up with the sail.
The edge of the sail slides into the rail's channel from one end, a bit like a zip. With the built-in pulley you do it yourself without tools, and afterwards you pack the sail away in the bag inside the van, so nothing is left on the roof but the slim rail.
Everything fits in one bag.
The sail, the poles, the anchors and all the fittings pack into one single bag measuring 123 × 20 × 20 cm. It can sit in the boot or under the bed until you need it, and when you drive there is nothing to see.
How to set it up
The hard part happens only once. After that, you put the sail up on your own whenever you want shade.
Mount the rail
- 1Join the three profiles into one rail with an Allen key.
- 2Place the assembled rail on the roof, aligned with the anchor points.
- 3Align the three adapters with the roof anchors and tighten them.
- 4Lower the rail down onto the anchor points.
- 5Tighten each adapter with the Allen key.
Set up the sail
- 1Feed the sail's keder edge into the rail from one end.
- 2Raise the four support poles.
- 3Anchor with the six ground stakes and tension with the straps.
- 4Adjust the angle and enjoy the shade.
Every van leaves the factory with fixing points on the roof, like the one in the photo. NordicStealth mounts onto them rather than beside them, so the rail sits on fixings the van was built with. No drilling, no sealant and no permanent changes to the van. The Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper are covered directly, and the Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter come with an adapter matched to the model, so the same rail and sail cover all five platforms.
One product fits every major van platform. Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper, Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter, with the anchor adapter matched to each.
The system in use.
One system. Every major platform.
The Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper are essentially the same van and share the same factory anchor points on the roof. The Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter are covered with roof-mounted adapters, so the same system fits all five platforms, with no permanent modifications.
Why NordicStealth?
From the vanlife community.
Feedback from vanlife creators who followed the product before launch. They have not bought the system and were not paid for their comments. The quotes are published with their permission.
“Here in Norway you can get sudden gusts of wind, and then the ground anchors, fabric and guy-line points on a normal awning are underdimensioned. With NordicStealth you can secure it with a full six ground anchors, and the poles feel much more solid than the thin aluminium poles on a normal awning.
“When I speak to people about their cassette awnings they all say the same thing: we hardly ever have it out, the slightest bit of wind and it has to go away. Yours looks phenomenal, premium and actually useful.
“There are competitors using magnets for similar awnings, but your rail system seems much more secure while keeping a really clean look when the awning isn't installed.
Built by a metalsmith. Tested in the real world.
I'm a trained stainless-steel metalsmith and I built kitchens for campervans at a dealer. His customers wanted shade but said no to awnings that ruined the van's clean look. So I built the first NordicStealth units by hand and tested them at the dealer for many months before production began.
