270 degree awnings?

[10G]

I don't know if this should be posted here, still finding my way around.

Just wondering if anyone here has a 270 degree awning?

I'm thinking of getting one, but something is holding me back.

If you have one, would you buy it again? Is it too much trouble? Is it more than you need etc etc.

Thanks.

Are you talking about the batwing awnings ? I like the concept of it. Like you I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

Yep like them. There's a whole range of them out there, they're a bit pricey, but I think they're a good idea.

Personally I prefer the SupaPeg/SupaRV one as it is one of the only ones I've seen that include a complete awning over the side of the vehicle, the others all chop off the outside front corner.

I considered them before I bought my awnings. 2 mates had 2 different setups on a big trip. A foxwing versus a 2.5m side awning and a1.2m rear awning.

With the fox wing you can't really set up half of it. All or nothing.

You really should use the poles which are not built in and must be carried on the roof rack in a separate bag.



The side awnings and rear awning can be set up independently. They have the poles built in. Take less than 1 minute to set up or pack up.

2 separate awnings got my money and I have never regretted it. I don't use the rear a lot but I have rolled it out at camp to keep the sun off the fridge. I have used it at lunch time in the snow to make lunch.

I think the 2 units gives me great flexibility and options.

My 2cents.

I'm starting to think that way. Also in the past with my previous vehicle, when I sleep under the awning I like to drop the end of it in case any rain happens etc. That would be a hassle with a 270 degree unit.

Can always have two mounted, and just a standalone awning/shelter. Butt them up against each other and you'll have a nice bit of space, with the flexibility to leave your kitchen stuff setup under the separate one while you go for a drive.

I prefer the idea of two awnings. Swag under one and kitchen under the other.
I will be buying a rear awning at some stage. When I set my swag under the side awning I have no space for cooking under shelter.

I would think the two seperate awnings would be a better set up,
if need be you could get a piece made to fill the gap,,,set them up
for run off in case of rain. winner winner chicken dinner lol

Remember its a lot of extra weight up high as well so take that
into account when driving.

I have heard a few comments about the 270 deg awnings having problems being almost impossible to put up or take down in the wind. Only heard stories though, maybe someone who has one could comment .

I've been seriously considering an awning from this company .... no poles light weight looks the goods anyway
