Vehicle mounted pull out awning - what brand did you buy and review

[DaveR]

I have an OZtrail,
It works well and does what it is supposed to do, quality seems ok. It's been up in wind and rain no probs. you can buy wall kits for these ones

x 2.
I have the same I think, I scored it cheap from the local camping store, $60 cheaper then BCF discounted price.
I can see the cam locks being a cause for concern down the track, but I have been careful with them, and no troubles so far.
It has been up in high winds, admittedly each time blowing from over the roof of the car, it seems to cope well enough each time even though I was packing it away through the wind guts.
An extension can be added to it which will roll up and pack away as 1 bit, it is for the side and will drop to the ground. It would have been useful in the below pic, more sun shade as the afternoon crept along.

G'day Muzza,

I bought the exact same one as Kleyny has posted the link to from All Direct Shop. 3m out  x 2.5m. It's a cracker. The 3 meters is a great size. I spent weeks looking at them, couldn't find any reviews but decided on this one. The material is thicker than a lot of the name brand ones, and as thick as some of the flash ones. I have used it a few times now and have had no problems at all. The end frame also has double sail track so you can put an extension on, there are little bags for pegs and ropes, and I didn't realize until I received it that it was made in South Africa, not the china I was expecting. Delivery time was spot on. It has been on the car since September and the case still looks and feels new.

I can recommend one and would buy another.

I will put a vote in for the supa peg.
I have one of the first models made on the Patrol and it has been fantastic.
It has the extra slide on extension and extra walls are available.
I bought it very cheap ( right place at the right time with the right person - demo )
Will have to dig out some photos, but we have had a fire set up under this when it has been pouring rain. Apart from a lingering smoke smell, no adverse effects.

Amazing no body has suggested a Hannibal Safari awning. http://hannibalsafari.com.au/index.php?page=awnings
If I didn't already have the rhino awning I would be looking at adapting one of these. You will not get a stronger awning and it has no poles. I was at the penrith camping show under one of these when a storm got up. The winds were blowing the pegged down annexes on campers off and this thing staid put.

What sort of money will these be with walls?

hi mate,

I haven't cemented any pricing on these.

As I can have them made in ripstop, 280 or 320gsm canvas, I also hadn't decided what level of quality I would import - however I have a philosophy of only wanting to offer better quality gear (doesn't have to top of the range, just not cheap rubbish).

For 280gsm canvas with all the quality fittings - expect around the $250 mark for 250 x 250 awning, plus $300 for 4 canvas walls and a floor to suit (some others sell only 3 walls and no floor).

Add $20 for each for 300 x 250 size. 

From looking around the web, this is a very competitive price - and I may be able to offer better for MySwag members.  Feel free to pm me if you want more information or want to chat.  Mike

Yeah swannie they are exy but would figure it's something I'd take from car to car. And like I said I have been in one in a storm they are unbelievable , I half expected the Crusier to go over they are that solid.
