Ok, I read my reply and it seems to read ok to me but there is an underlying assumption, a few assumptions. Lol.
From scratch.
All of the awnings in the embedded links in this thread are all made in China.
Bushwakka suggest they are an Australian Company selling Auatralian made gear but the Ultimate awning in this thread is made in China.
Bushwakka do sell an Auatralian Made range but it's about $3500...
I have fitted a Bush Company 180max Awning made in South Africa with a price point fare and square in the middle between the bushwakka China and Aussie made.
I carry a Shovel on the drivers side and awning goes on the left. The wife is happy because he side is shaded when it's out.
And... free-standing is 100% better than a Roll Out style awning.
Most of the China Awnings claiming Freestanding all recommend using poles when it's breezy. A quick calm lunch stop the free-standing option works great. Most have integrated poles for windy days or poles in a bag ans ropes.
The BushCompany Awning has No Poles.
I think I covered all the points I made? Maybe?
