Alu-Cab Awning 270°

Whether you're traversing the Outback, navigating Nevada's Death Valley, or conquering the red sand dunes of the Kalahari, no camping accessory is more essential than one that provides shade.

For experienced campers, an awning is often the first accessory installed on their vehicle. The ability to quickly and efficiently create maximum shade is vital for overland travel. The last thing you want is to wrestle with poles, pegs, and guy ropes in scorching midday heat or under a torrential downpour.

This is why the globally renowned 270º Shadow Awning from Alu-Cab is designed for seamless setup and operation. With no extra steps or poles to assemble, you simply unzip the bag and swing the awning open to its full 270º arc. It’s so simple that one person can manage it effortlessly.

The wrap-around design provides an impressive 10 square meters of shade, covering the entire working area of your vehicle. This is especially practical at the rear, where your drawer system, fridge, and supplies are typically stored.

The awning is supported by four heavy-duty aluminum arms that span the 270º coverage, making it robust and weather-resistant. For harsher conditions, the center arm includes a discreet drop-down pole for added reinforcement. Additionally, each arm is equipped with tie-down straps to handle strong gusts, and you can further enhance stability with the optional Storm Kit.

Thanks to these optional supports, you save valuable time when conditions are calm, allowing for quick stops like a trailside lunch without the hassle of securing ropes or pitching poles. Moreover, the reflective ripstop material reduces shade temperatures noticeably, enhancing comfort in hot climates.

The Alu-Cab 270º Shadow Awning is undoubtedly one of their flagship products, proven to be #DesertProof and rigorously tested in Africa’s toughest environments.
