Product Overview Freestanding 270° vehicle awning — covers the full side and rear simultaneously, over 80 sq ft of coverage. No ground poles required — rigid arms support the entire canopy. Guy lines and stakes included for wind. 600D Oxford Ripstop canopy with waterproof coating — built to handle rain, not just shade. Integrated dual-color dimmable LED lighting along the main arms — USB powered. Redesigned V2 swing hinges with canvas cover — cleaner deployment, better seal when stowed. Available in passenger side and driver side configurations. Why Choose the 270 Awning V2? Most awnings give you coverage on one side and leave the rest of camp exposed. The 270 wraps around — extending along the full side of your vehicle and across the rear simultaneously, with a squared-off rear panel that keeps coverage consistent all the way to the corner. That geometry matters most at the tailgate: it turns your cook setup into a sheltered workspace, keeps gear dry from multiple directions, and creates a defined camp area you can actually use in the rain. Over 80 square feet of it, deployable in under a minute, without a single support pole. Key Features Freestanding, No Poles Required: The rigid arm design supports the entire canopy without ground poles in normal conditions. Guy lines and stakes are included and recommended for any wind — but everyday camp use doesn't require them. 80+ Square Feet of Coverage: Side and rear simultaneous coverage — one of the largest single-mount footprints available at this weight class. 600D Oxford Ripstop — Waterproof: The same material spec as the 180 Awning. Built for rain and sun, not just shade. Integrated Dual-Color Dimmable LED: Warm white and color-shifting LEDs run along the main arms. USB powered — connect a battery bank (sold separately) and your camp is lit without a separate lighting system. Redesigned V2 Swing Hinges + Canvas Cover: Smoother deployment, better protection for the hinge mechanism when stowed and on the road. Driver or Passenger Side: Order for the side that works for your camp layout. The Awning That Turns Your Tailgate Into Camp The 270 is the awning for overlanders who cook at the tailgate and want the kitchen to stay dry when it rains. The rear wrap-around panel isn't an accessory — it's built into the geometry of the 270 design. You deploy one awning and both your side and your rear are covered. Add 270 Awning Walls (sold separately) to close off wind on three sides and you've built a fully enclosed outdoor kitchen and sleeping prep area without a standalone shelter.

Frequently Asked Questions How does the 270 differ from the 180 Awning? The 270 wraps around the rear of your vehicle, covering both the side and tailgate area. The 180 covers the side only, leaving the rear door unobstructed. Do I really not need ground poles? Correct — the rigid arms are self-supporting. Stakes and guy lines are included and recommended in any wind, but routine camp use doesn't require them. Can I add walls to the 270? Yes — the 270 Awning Walls (sold separately) zip on to enclose all three open sides. Driver side vs passenger side — which do I need? Order the side where you want coverage. Driver side covers the driver/left side and rear; passenger side covers the passenger/right side and rear.
