    I love my super wing..........had four guys come up and ask about it on moreton saying it was the best they had seen, until it told them the cost.
    Yes the price is scary. But the quality is top notch, and if you use it often it is worth it I think.

    Just had a look at the site,they have a sand kit for it.hard to see how it actually works.

    it also comes in different sizes which is a good idea as well.

    Actually looks like an improved design of the foxing.

    I have checked out fox wings same effort to set up but the super wing gives you more shade........two sand pegs two ropes is pretty straight forward

    I reckon canvass is cooler as well

    Good to see another Ultima Swag owner... My son and I both have custom made Ultimas that we picked up from Tony's house in Casino on our way camping to Barrington Tops a few years ago. He even did some extra mods on it for me and then delivered it to our campsite in Casino and showed us how to set it up the best way. The only thing we did was replace the mattress with an Exped Megamat... Now that is comfort and service

    Back on topic.. I am picking my Rapidwing up next week as they are just 5 Mins down the road.. Had a look through the factory a couple of days ago. Brilliant bit of gear.

    Well after saving up my biccies and with the help of selling a few items, I finally bought a Supa-Peg Rapid Wing awning, ordered it Monday night at 7.30pm, arrived Wednesday 1.00pm, I will be fitting it on the weekend, mine is a drivers side model, the reason for this is, one, the D4 has an tail gate type door, opening upwards and two, our door has a ladder, making it open higher than normal, with a right side opening the cross pole will miss the ladder as the ladder is on the left side of the door, well that's the theory

    First thoughts, high quality and well made.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    Let us know how it all fits Baz. I have a ladder on mine as well and have been thinking about one of these types of awning.

    I currently have the standard Ironman awning on the passenger side of mine, and also have the Ironman "room" that clips in underneath it. Not sure if you can attach the "room" under the supa wing awning or not. I suppose one option could be to leave the current set-up on the passenger side and add the supa wing to the other side.
    Cheers .........

    Hi BM, fitted it Saturday, works a treat, the right angel cross pole does touch the ladder, but only just, the next pole along misses, so all good, I think it's because of how high the awning is mounted, I have the Rhino platform with the medium legs and factory roof rails.

    I'll set it up soon as I can and put up some pics to show you how it is.
