Awning Types: Pull-Out Awnings Vs. 180º Vs. 270º The Fiamma awning is the only awning with patented adjusting system that enables you to adjust the closing of the front bar.

Setup by one person is straightforward, and the awning is adaptable to almost any type of vehicle. A nice feature is the option to orient the MoonShade with either the 9- or 7-foot side facing outward. While many 270 awnings utilize metal support hinges, the hinges on the Batwing is an engineered plastic that while it initially gave us pause, proved itself to be able to hang. The mechanism is also user-replaceable, and it’s simple enough to swap out a support hinge end if one becomes munged up. It is not necessary to have these side fittings -- you can just peg the legs to the ground with the very strong supplied ground pegs. The Omnistor 6200 allows you to set and adjust the canopy angle meaning that the awning can be opened and closed even when the sliding door of your van is open and keeps your rail free of other usages. Technical Specifications:I would recommend having a set of tie-down ropes and pegs for use in windy conditions, whichever way you deploy the awning. The ExoShell 270 offers a huge amount of shade (a full 121 sq. ft.) and weather protection from its 45-denier waterproof-treated ripstop polycotton awning material. It’s self-supporting, but it also comes with dropdown poles and guy wires included if you find yourself in high wind conditions. It’s so fast and easy to use that we can see ourselves popping it open for an afternoon mountain bike ride or even the kids’ soccer practice. That’s why we’re serious about our vehicle awnings — and testing them. We’ve been at this for close to 3 years now, testing awnings on our rigs and challenging them with whatever Mother Nature can toss our way. This includes everything from casual use to setting them up and leaving them out in wind and snow storms to see how they fare. We’ve got certified overlanding and van-life freaks on the roll, and while we may not always agree on the best way to get outside, we’ve found few can resist the siren call of a minute (or 30) in the shade.

Now we’re talking. If you’re looking for the ultimate in coverage, you’ve come to the right place. 270º awnings take the idea of the 180º version to its natural conclusion, and wraps one whole side and the rear of your vehicle in coverage. Whereas 180º awnings will have hinges on both ends of their mounting plates, 270º awnings will often only expand from one end (except for some even larger coverage options, like the Overland Vehicle Systems Nomadic 270 Awning). This makes them directional, meaning they’ll be sold as a driver- or passenger-side ready build. The age-old conundrum: what side should I mount my awning to? The first thing to understand is that while pull-out and 180º awnings can be mounted on either side, 270º awnings can only be mounted to the side they’re designed for — so it’s best to decide which side you fall on before purchasing. Many folks will often need to access their driver’s side door while setting up camp, and coverage over this can prompt many to rig their awnings over the driver’s side of the vehicle. Rounding out the higher-gloss finish on this awning is metal telescopic legs that connect to the lead rail with metal connectors, rather than nylon. The jury is still out on whether we’re entirely sold on these yet, as nylon often has a little bit more give when wrestling an awning into place, but metal will undoubtedly win the durability race.To help jump-start your search and get you on the road, we’ve saddled up our rigs with the best of them to help find the perfect awning solution — whether you’re an overlander, or just need a little extra shade during soccer practice. Because everyone likes to get outside differently, and drives different vehicles, we’ve included awnings of all different stripes, including simple canopies to full 270-degree mobile room additions. Our interest is also in longevity, as you’ll likely be driving your adventure rig for a while, and will want your awning to follow suit. While your camping tent gets lovingly stuffed away in your gear closet for another day, roof-top awnings sit out the worst of it atop your vehicle, and we wanted to ensure that we didn’t have any short-lived fixtures in the mix. Rest assured: we installed these awnings, enjoyed them, and then enjoyed them some more for entire seasons of use. An extensive range of Specialist Fitting Kits are available for other fitting applications including Hard-sided cases tend to be made of aluminum. They offer added protection and weatherproofing for your awning when stored. Soft-sided cases may not be as weatherproof and may be noisier on the road than hard-sided cases.

The Fiamma F45 S awnings are delivered as standard with a fitting kit suitable for bolt-through-wall installation on the flat vertical wall of a coach-built motorhome. Additionally, take note of where you’ll store the awning’s accessories (poles, guy ropes, and stakes). Some awnings will store these items in the main case, while others might require you to store a separate bag in your vehicle. This is fine in most cases, but it takes up valuable in vehicle storage space and could be left at home easily. (Photo/ARB USA) Weather-Resistant Materials and Design Most awnings will weigh in the range of 20 to 40 pounds. Assuming you’re keeping your awning permanently mounted, the weight shouldn’t be too much of an issue. However, you may need a second set of hands to help with the install.If you have a rear door that swings open from one side or the other, such as on some Jeeps and Toyota FJs, you’ll likely want your awning to cover the side of your vehicle the door doesn’t swing from, for easy access. Be mindful of wind with this awning, as there are no tie-off loops on the canopy or lead rail. In a pinch, you likely could fashion yourself some guylines and make them fast to the lead rail itself, but you’ll need to source the cordage to do so. Thankfully the legs do sport openings to pound stakes through, so you’ll have some connection to terra firma. In terms of height, most awnings have telescoping or adjustable legs that will allow you to raise or lower the outer edge of the awning. Take into account the height of your vehicle and how much headspace you want under the awning. Then look for an awning with the clearance to match. Weight and Storage
