Thread: Awnings

i have a windcheetah rack and fitted a supa wing awaning SUPAPEG Australia - Quality Camping & Outdoor Supplies

i have the 3m version and reckon it is tops

i can put it up myself so long as it is not windy

re: ropes, if it is not real windy than pegs through the feet that are attached to the poles is fine otherwise i have only ever fitted one rope for safety

the fitting system they provide suit the rhino rack, easy enough to fit to a wind cheetah, i sent them the requires for a wind cheetah fitting system

the only problem i have is if you leave it attached to your rack and it rains water does enter the cover, no real problem for me as i remove it after every trip but i was annoyed at first when i discovered this

i looked at fox wing but thought the super wing is better made

if i had the money i would by hannibal, no poles required i.e. self supporting

Bobby,
Hope you have a good weekend, where are you heading?

I've got the foxing awning, it's great. Give me a call if you want to come around and have a look at it.

G'day Jon,

I might take you up on that offer, very kind of you. At the very least I'll see you next Sunday at Castle Hill.

My mate knows of a track or two down Nowra/ Jervis Bay way so we're hitting the frog and toad at 06:30.

Have a great weekend mate. Don't forget your sunscreen!

I have the same as weeds, but the newer model. They have addressed the water entering the carry case so its not an issue any more.

I am happy with it for the size of it. Both super peg and foxwing suffer from a 10minute drop time if you want to go for a drive somewhere, however superior if staying put for a few days.

I find the super peg well made, needs only two ropes or straps, has parts available, however is a bit dearer because they are made here and do have Australian staff. Been to the factory for a look before I purchased.
Seems to be a lot of profit going somewhere for the chinese made competition but that's only my view.

I purchased the 3 meter because we wanted to do away with a tarp which has been successful, unless it rains for days.

I'll second the Foxwing ... we went that way as it will join up to the Oztent ... there are infill sides available ...

The Supa-wing seems to offer a little more under cover area (3m). The Foxwing spars are 2.4m.

Foxwing and SupaWing both look really smart....but unfortunately I forgot to note one of my other requirements: ability to use it with a rooftop tent that extends out the back!

My fault!

Hoping to see a few different awnings at the Castle Hill expo on Sunday. I think the easier they are to get out, the more use they'll get...and then the hardiness and stirdiness of them become important.

gday

i have a hannibal roof top tent, rack and an awning, cant fault either, awning has no poles or ropes, self supporting, we have been tassie, in the wind, fraser island in the wind birdsville in the sun, no dramas, doesnt leak either,
you can put it up on your own & even drive up the beach (carefully) with it up.
maybe a little more expensive than some, but only $200.00 or so,
any more info please ask, cheers
