OTH 270 DEGREE AWNING

• 270 degree awning, 9 square metres of cover
• Free standing on three legs
• LED lighting built into the arms
• Standard mounting bracket that bolts to a roof rack

31kg boxed.

The standard bracket in the box bolts it to a roof rack. To mount it on the tent itself you need the quick release bracket pair, which is sold separately.

Once it is out it stands on its own three legs.

The lights run on a USB plug, straight off the tent's USB point.

The awning comes with a standard bracket that bolts to a roof rack, so it works with or without a tent. Our heavy duty quick release brackets are the second way. They fit either onto that standard bracket, or straight into the channels running down both sides of the 1.4, the 1.4X and the 1.4Z. That is how the awning goes onto the tent itself, and it is what lets you lift it off rather than drive around with it. The channel nuts come in the box. They are not fitted at the factory, so they go in when you mount it. Nothing to fabricate and nothing to drill. The 1.5 Pro and the 1.9 Penthouse take a different awning, which we are sourcing separately. Because both sides of the tent carry a channel, you can run the 270 degree awning down one side for living space and a shower awning down the other.

It also mounts to roof racks and tub racks using the standard bracket supplied. Adding the quick release brackets on top of it means the awning lifts off without tools.

What does a 270 degree awning actually cover?
It covers one full side of the vehicle and wraps around the rear, roughly three quarters of the way around. A standard rectangular awning covers one side only. The wrap is what gives you a sheltered working area behind the vehicle rather than a strip of shade along it.

Will it fit my vehicle?
It fits any vehicle carrying the 1.4, the 1.4X and the 1.4Z, mounted into the tent's side channels on our quick release brackets. It also bolts to a roof rack on the standard bracket supplied, with or without a tent. The 1.5 Pro and the 1.9 Penthouse take a different awning, which we are sourcing separately. If you are unsure about your particular rack, send us the make and model and we will tell you before you buy.

Do the lights need their own battery?
Not if you have one of our tents. The tent is pre-wired with an Anderson plug and the awning draws from it. Mounted to a bare rack, you will need to supply 12V yourself.

Can I run a shower awning at the same time?
Yes. The 1.4, the 1.4x and the 1.4z carry a channel down both sides, so the 270 degree awning goes on one side and a shower awning on the other.

How much does it weigh, and does it count towards my roof load?
The awning itself is around 26kg, and it ships at 31kg boxed with its mounting brackets. Yes, it counts towards your roof load. Allow the full 31kg in your sum and you will be erring on the safe side, since the awning and its brackets both end up on the vehicle. The awning, the tent and the rack all add together against the roof load limit that applies while you are driving. Our guide to roof load limits shows you how to work it out.

Is it suitable for Australian conditions?
It is built for harsh sun, wind and sudden weather, and packs to a low profile. As with any awning, bring it in when the wind gets up rather than riding it out, since an awning under load puts strain on both the arms and whatever it is mounted to.
