Hi Guys
Foxwing awning ??...who has one?, could you give me some hardcore feedback, I'm in the market and I'm the procrastinator from hell...lol
some pic's would be nice .....is anyone using them in conjunction with their oztent??
look forwade to some good feedback
cheers

There is one on ebay at the moment that is about 11 months old and sounds a bit shabby if you ask me. Not sure if this is indicative of the quality of the product or the way it's been used and cared for.

Friends of ours have one and we've been with them a few times when they've used it.
Pros: Lots of shade, covers side and rear, lightweight.
Cons: Need to carry poles separately, must be tied down or put away if any wind comes up (due to lightweight)
We have a canvas awning (like the ARB ones etc, but made of heavy canvas) and while its heavier and not as quick to setup, and doesn't give as much shade, I've never had to peg it down in moderate wind and everything is contained in it - no extra poles etc required.

Tnaks mate, very useful...my initail idea is to attach some oztents to it, how do you think it would go if there attached on the side ect??

Hi
I have been spending alot of time lately looking at the Oztents and notice there were quite a few threads on the Foxwing awnings on the ExplorOz site if that is of any help.
Kind regards
KC

Yhea Ive seen them ..but the site is a hodge podge of confusion over there...so just thought i would ask the friendly folk here about it
cheers tho

Hi,
I have an Oztent RV3 - very happy with it, but have only seen a foxwing at an ARB display at Agfest.
They seem to be made of similar canvas from memory.
I think they would compliment each other well, would just need to check on some measurements such as pole distance on the front of the Oztent vs some where similar/suitable on the foxwing.
For $800 though, I would first go through the exercise (procrastinating) of seeing if it is a feasible DIY project.
cheers

Thanks mate, yhea the diy option is a doer but im procratinating over an option for my camper idea... ::) im really interested in the intergration of this system to be able to build to it as we grow... how do you find the oztent ?(be harsh now !!)
cheers

I have a Foxwing and an OzTent RV-5. The 2 attach using an awning connector available from Oz-Tent. I'm quite happy with the Foxwing and found the easy way to carry the poles is using a 100mm conduit. I got a 3m one from Rhino Rack and cut it in half, its the perfect length then, just needed a couple of extra ends and I had pole storage for the 2 vehicles the Foxwing gets swapped between.
The Foxwing was deigned by Rhino Rack and OzTent
As far as where to buy http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=7002.0 (http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=7002.0) $640 plus delivery (fitting and fitting kit where required additional)

But wait there is more ..... ;D
As others have said the Foxwing is actually made by Oztent and distributed through Rino. It is made from the same material as the Oztent tents and uses the same construction methods. Some / most Oztent models can zip directly on to any of the 4 sides of the Foxwind and you can also buy additional zip on awnings to create more shade coverage or make a wall.
We have one and although they may take a little longer than some to put up you end up with more shade during more of the day. Plus if you do get some rain they also come with an inbuilt rain collection point. I would say it takes 5 to 10 minutes to setup / take down.
As for people who say ah but I don't have to tie mine down ……. any awning is just a big sail and thus any wind is going to rip it off the side of your car eventually if it is not secured down. Also I would suggest having a look at the setup videos on the Rino website.
The only down side to them over other light weight roof mounted awnings is the price and extra weight. Having said that though they still have more advantages than disadvantages well for me anyway. Additionally have you ever tried to sit under say an ARB 2m side mount awning …. Your lucky to fit 2 chairs under there let alone anything else !!!! Plus if you have a fridge in the back of your car you have instant shade / rain cover from your chair to the beer fridge.
Now you can decide ...... he he he

how do you find the oztent ?(be harsh now !!)
If I have to be harsh, its size in the bag is rather large, but that is what makes it a 30 second tent.
No problems with quality, performance, usability etc.

Who, like me ;D
The only time I've had to tie down my gunyah awning is when I'm using the extension bit, because it has no poles to self support. Otherwise the poles all lock together and it would have to be a really strong wind. The arms come out from the vehicle and lock into the leading edge, where the poles are. So long as you pull it out taut it doesn't get much flap or wind up.
Have a look in the pic below, you can see the wind flapping the extension (which is just some canvas stuck into the channel on the awning, and then two poles stuck in corners- forgot my proper ropes that day so had to dodgy it up). By comparison the actual awning is fine.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CA1AM_oYjiM/SY1hqxeZRJI/AAAAAAAAC2c/fvnf29J-Vpo/s640/DSC02720.jpg)
Here's one by itself. The cheap gazebo you can see in teh corner kept on blowing away that day, but the awning didn't need roping down.
(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_CA1AM_oYjiM/SQOA3mv6tgI/AAAAAAAACZY/mw0JlEdkvRo/s640/DSC02554.JPG)
Don't get me wrong, I like the Foxwing but its not as "no ropes" as other heavy canvas awnings - that and the need to carry poles separately are its only drawbacks to me (yes, minor things, but I would forget the poles and ropes I'm sure) ;D You are right about the room, the foxwing offers heaps more and offers rear shade.
I have been looking at them for my next car (which has a side opening tailgate, rather than vertical like my Jeep) and would like the coverage over the boot it affords. I'm still debating whether to go for it or put a canvas awning over the back.

Mate thanks for the imput ....good advice and opinions....apriciate it

I should add that to get the same amount of room as a Foxwing I'd need to use the extension (whcih makes it 5m x 2m), which does need extra poles and ropes, so once you do that they're pretty much the same.
-
Yes the price is correct $640 plus delivery and I unless it is pouring rain this weekend I will get the OzTent out and assemble the complete package and photograph same but just as a teaser

thanks again

so has anyone else got any reports ??...good or bad???
cheers
-
Yes I have ;D
I have seen the foxwing on 2 cars and travelled with both of them, one for 3 weeks up to the cape and the other for a long weekend away (3 days) I thought they took too long to put up and put away, too many poles and ropes and you will need the ropes when it gets windy, if you do get it, get rid of the silly ropes it comes with.
They have come down in price a lot I must say (if that price you were quoted is correct) I wonder why??
Baz.
-
Thanks Baz....there alot of pros and cons...it seems ......your awning ?, does it stay in the wind without rops?, and why get rid of the rops on the foxwing??
cheers
-
How heavy do these awnings get when wet? My thoughts after many years of wet tarps on 40ft trailers is they would get stupid heavy to be setting up day after day if its weeing down.
Anyone care to share?

No ropes needed for mine, 2 poles and a spreader bar, just peg it to the ground like so

Have I missed something here ! This foxwing is all very flash BUT a bit Xe for what it is . After all its a tarp & poles in the end . On the roof rack mount some small bolts ti go through eyelets then attach spreaders to upright poles bongo ,, cover . The cover that Baz has looks just right as its flexable . Can be peged to the ground as shown or as long cover on poles or tied to a tree . Makes more sence $ wise . Its a case of think outside the square .Takes the same to set up .
More foddre for thought ??? :cheers:

If you want a bargain ask for the foxwing "right hand -side" awning - apparently they can't give them away. People prefer the left hand side for convenience when pulling to the side of the road, but really, how many times are you going to set up the awning on the side of the road? It really makes no difference at camp or well off the road which side it's on. Speak with Rescue1 for a price, he told me about it.

Hi all,
was looking at awnings myself early this week and ARB offer various different sizes so am looking at their side one and also one for the back. Even with flyscreen rooms they are cheaper than the Foxwing unit, in dollar costs, I am not sure about quality. Only thing is the ARB unit is only 2 meters wide whereas the Ironman unit is 2.5m. After reading the above posts I may have to ring some other suppliers that have been mentioned and get some more competitive quotes. I do like the back awning idea though.
Just my thoughts.

Spoke with a place that DDR has usd in the past
Canvas Craft in Mordiallic
To do something like Baz' one, awning total of 4.6mtr long (so comes out off rack 2.4 or 2.5, then drops down to ground at 2.1 or 2.2) awning with eyelets at 2.5mtr for 2x legs and eyelets at the end for pegs, x 1300 wide in bag with sailtrack to hang it off = roughly $250> but need to drop in and see the man first to make sure we are talkin bout the same thing :)
Just not sure on Canvas, when somethign that big got wet, it would weigh tons... How bad is it Baz??

The water doesn't soak in, we got caught in a rain storm up at Newnes plateau, the water just beads off, no issues rolling it back in, pretty much the same as normal, BUT, you have to take into account how large it is though, it's not lightweight canvas.

yea going to have a look at what material the bloke in Mordi uses, might not go with Canvas for the weight issue... not sure yet. Price was very reasonable I thought.
-
Ordered one from Canvas Craft in Mordialloc.
Total length: 4.6mtrs
2.5mtrs from Rack coming off the back of the car, with eyelets at that distance for 2 legs, then 2.1 down to the ground as a wind/rain break - also with velcro ties down the end to tie to the poles.
$260+gst in carry bag with sail track to hang off awning. Pretty happy with that!
Similar to this but off the back not side.

diggity dig..
so anyone found one at a low price in recent times?
$700 a bloke on patrol has found..
-
We got ours for $770 at a camping expo in Kalgoorlie last year. Heard on the radio this week that they will be selling foxwing awnings for $699 with a free camping chair this weekend at a home expo - will let you know on Sunday.
-
that time of year again
what prices are people finding on these..
$799.00 on ebay for RHS, or $580 for LHS...
-
Honestly its all confusing for me looking through this thread will have to check those links back further in here and come back with at least some feedback.
-
This is what we used for cover over the kitchen when we were in Coral Bay in July - can something like this be adapted for a car? Maybe. Certainly was cheap and cheerful. ;D
(tarp was 8'x6' and took a couple of minutes to put up with the assistance of the the two elves in the background. total cost, ~$40)
-
Had a look around and found these???
Don't know what everyone thinks

Have a look at the ' supa-peg ' awning .
Gives that bit more shade .... still looks a bit weak in the hinge department , hence why I am building my own awning , maybe similar to the supa-peg one or the ' Hannibal awning . I scored one of these with my rooftop tent , as an awning I don't think you could get better , just not big enough for the new camper , going to put it on the work ute .

Can ray do a deal?

If its the same factory, what would be the difference between genuine and non? The logo?
As mentioned, can ray do a deal or could we do bulk buy?

He can but shipping is a killer on small amounts.
Example, shipping on 1 item was $350... more than the awning :(

If he's able to do one to Cairns at a good price I would be very keen......
-
OK Shipping maybe a killer on 1, but if 10 people buy one and shipping is say 500 dollars, then it would be down to 50 each into Australia....

Nope. I wasn't interested with the amount needed to order.
