Well I voted. I don't actually have one..........but I would have it on the passenger side. And I have been looking at them but don't need one.......actually I do need one but I don't have a shed, which I need to hold all my stuff..........If you get what I mean.

Although I can see an argument for the drivers side too.. Easier to check when 4wding

Passenger side. So when u pull up and set up for lunch, all the dust from passing cars doesn't annoy you.

Passenger side. Often have to open drivers side, so much easier with no kids and clutter about.

Oh dear, it may be less painful to just make it left hand drive so you win ;)

Mine is on the drivers side. There were some very valid reasons for this, I just gotta remember what they are!

Partly to distribute the weight more evenly, with the 153L fuel tank on the passenger side, so the spare tyre on the roof is also on the drivers side, and already setup to load the OzTent on the Passenger side and no desire to lift it over an awning! That meant the awning on the drivers side was a well thought out no brainer!

See, I told ya there were reasons!

you may be right..or tell her Myswag is full of idiots who don't know one end of an awning from another ...and fade away into oblivion and then re-join under an assumed identity. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Or just cop it on the chin and take the hit..then I get to stay and play with all you lot :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:

Not the first time I have been wrong and certainly not going to be the last.

I can't even remember  why I choose the drivers side ..but it must been a good reason ? I hope

jet ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Mate, passenger for me too.

So I can jump out of the car in the rain and open up the foxwing,
then Darling and offspring can get out without being rained on :angel:

I don't have one or really feel the need for one, but if I was to get one, it would go on the passenger side.

Jet wont need his shovel on the drivers side he will still be using it to dig himself out of this hole  ;D ;D ;D ;D

You didn't have a 'both' option.

We have a foxwing on the passenger's side and a standard ARB awning on the driver's side...sort of like His 'n' Hers  ;D


Have you actually mounted it to the rack yet?  You may still be able to sweet talk your way out. Chocolates always work...or a diamond  :angel:

Passenger side as thats the side with the smaller barn door in my case also its off the road if were to set up while repairing tyre etc and the family would be safe of the side and for the kids and partner to be able to get on dry when packing up during a rain event wich iv done and was most usefull for them....

Mines on the passenger side, but my mate has his drivers side. Works great when we head up the beach together, we set up side by side for a double sized shade cover.

Back a winner mate, passenger side. Only resoning I had was that if ever. I wanted to ues it parked on the side of the road, it wouldn't be in the middle lane. BUt, I don't think I've ever used it like that

Passenger side and rear for me. Done that way because the rear door on the Paj opens to the drivers side so when we setup it's always on the passenger side of the car.   :cheers:
Cheers, John.
