Thread: Which Awning?

I wouldn't touch either of them to be honest.

Apart from being involved with 4wd Action and the silly old goose Roothy. I have had nothing but grief with the 4wd Action tossers. There as dodgy as.

As for the awning there cheap Chinese crap my cousin bought one from Roo systems and if arrived complete with a stress fracture in the alloy cross member. He rand them straight away without even fitting to the truck and there response was bad luck buddy you must of broke it during fitting.

Currently he is seeking compensation thru the courts.

So all I can say is buyer beware.

What brand would you recommend if not one of those two?

Cheers for the feedback

I don't own a awning myself so I cant give you a informed opinion. Just the information i was giving earlier.

Also to the Mod who moved this thread out of General Chat, could you please atleast move it to Camping, this has nothing to do with camper trailers. I had a good look at the sections before posting this and thought that it was quite applicable for general chat but if not then the only other option should be the camping section.

Sorry to those looking for camper trailer information in this area.

not sure which mod moved it but he got it pretty close....an awaning could turn your rig into a camper trailer

i have moved it to camping

i have a supawing awning fitted to my defender, i reckon its the ducks guts and will out last my camping days.........i had a low end one for 10 years and retired it when the stitching started to fail on the cover. went top end this time hoping i will get the same life with a few added bonuses. supawing is a big investment though

Thanks for that weeds! What was the low end brand awning? And how much did it roughly cost? I'm pretty happy with a 10yr life span to be honest with you, especially if its for $189 haha I can live with that!

the previous owner fitted the awning and bu ggered if i can remember the brand, pretty sure it was made in Rockhampton.

if you can picture the blue tarp type material, it was the heavy duty stuff and stretched out 4m. i could use it full length, or 3/4 length and peg it straight to the ground with no poles.....

spend you money wisely and get a hannibal..
