No you cant buy a new one from a retail shop. Very messy with patent infringements. Was schooled on this at the caravan and camping show.

Yes, I am after a 270 degree awning that does not require poles, similar to the Hanibal awnings. The Ostrich would be perfect.

PWE,
Check out Cruiser Customs at Brendale. Karl made my cargo draws which are excellent. I know he does make an awning which fits your description. No affiliation just had a great experience with him. Facebook page has some good photos.

Cheers
Tony

why don't people have prices on things, or if they do, why are they so ****ing hard to find?

around $1200 when I enquired earlier this year

they recommend that you use their brackets for a few $$$ more

they paranoid about how it is mounted, obviously weighs a bit and needs a solid platform.

cheers dude.

so with brackets, nearly double the foxwing??

not sure what the foxwing is worth these days, never really been sold on the need for ropes/ poles etc last I looked was near 1k, but that is a few years ago.

I looked at the Alu cab ones at the show. Awesome product but just too big 2.4m long.

We were after similar, no luck for what we wanted so opted for the Drifta as the legs are built in, just unclip and drop them down as you unfold the awning.  Much better than having to carry separate poles, ropes etc.  Bonus was he designed the RHS version for the FJ Cruiser so works well with the rear door opening etc.

I understand his wing would create some good shade but how do you get the bugger to stay still

[Cruiser 105Tvan]

The blurb in the evilbay page says, point the vehicle into the wind and the shape will stabilize the wing,
also survives wind speeds up to 20Klm/h. without using poles and ropes.
There appear to be twist lock poles incorporated in the design, mounted on the underside.

Anyone know about these

The Skywing Awning is a brilliantly designed 1 piece, easy to operate, swing out awning that will shade the side and rear of your vehicle in seconds. The simple to operate one piece Left Side Mounted swing out Skywing Awning will shade the passenger side and rear of your vehicle and protect you from the elements.

$400......

what about something to mount on the Drivers side? In a fox wing style.

[Bird]

You can get RHS Foxwings, they are much cheaper than LHS as nobody wants them - or did 2 yrs ago


Southern Cross do a std awning too, didn't know that.

[fazza81]

Yeah Bird I know they did 2 years ago from what I can see they have stopped which is unfortunate for me.

[loanrangie]

How do you get the Ostrich to stand still and are their feathers waterproof ?

[FJCruzin]

Drifta do a RHS fox wing style.  We bought this one as it suits the FJ Cruiser due to the direction the rear door opens.

Got the Rhino Rack platform with backbone fitted today, awning will go no next week

Exactly.

The Supa-Pegwing wing awnings do have support poles, and structurally that makes sense to me.

Anyway I've recently purchased one of these .......


Its the grouse I tells ya.
