I think it will be gone in HIGH wind!!
Not sure about two people having to set up/pack up, wouldn't mind seeing one person doing it ( good size though )

I to would be interested in seeing how it works and stands up to even normal weather, like others my first impression would be that wind would not be its friend.

Looks the goods, but I do agree with Ron

The Bundutec uses a 'triangular' swing out arm which is much much stronger than the Batwing which uses extruded aluminium arms and support legs. Eazi-awn also have a version of their own on the market now which is mush the same principle as the Batwing.
The Batwing can't be used be all roofracks or RoofTents either since it extends over the top of the vehicle.

I have a Hanibal awning with the same triangular swing out arm arrangement and in all the years of use it's never let me down in even strongest winds. I think these guys are onto a winner with the Bundutec design. Apart from the actual mass hanging on the side of the truck which looks quite heavy.

I like that t shades the cabin at the front, but it is a big of a thing i think my foxwing is already pushing the limits of size and it looks to be about half the sizeof that. And even with those struts I would still be a little nervous about it in a wind. I am pretty happy with my Foxwing you do have poles and ropes but that gives me a lot more confidence in a wind. Only problem with Foxwing and wind is if you are deploying it with one person, but once set up it is as secure as anything else made of canvas and tied down with ropes and pegs.

I suppose I should put my thoughts on it as I still think the Hannibal wins ever time.

First Impression it looks good in the open position, material looks light weight and a little flimsy, wonder how well it sands up to hash weather conditions?

Can side walls be fitted?

2 people had to put it away, might be a pain on your own.

Out riggers look a little thin.

How does tit fix to a rack

What happens if you don't have a rack how does the other section fix to the other side>

When packed it looks huge on the side of the 110.

Be careful doing that, it sounds like it may hurt.
