This looks to be exactly what I want, except it needs zippers for the walls. I've found my current awning gets a lot of tension on the walls in stormy conditions, zips plus velcro are the standard from what I've seen, not just velcro alone. Unless you're somehow confindent that the velcro walls can take gusty wind, as we use the walls as wind breaks mainly. I can sew zippers in myself, but at the price point this awning is, I think you could add zippers plus velcro.
Don't care how strong it is, I would still like built-in poles on this. I also prefer zipped side walls, rather than velcro. But it is a magnificent awning.
Hi John, the trussed arms all have holes in the ends to receive a standard telescopic pole. We supply poles with the wall kits. Poles are not required unless alls are fitted. Cheers
Just an idea. I wonder if it's possible to mount one on driver and one on the passenger side to get an almost 360 degree awning? That would be a fun video to watch.
@Ray Johnson yeah but why design a bulkier and more expensive awning to do that when you can put up a windscreen shade for cheaper and more lightweight.
the wire grid would fail on cells that get rolled like this. they won't fail right away but the will fail well before the MTBF rating. And really, if you have a awning, you have a roof rack and or RTT to which you can put fixed "solid" panels which have a higher efficiency and smaller footprint than flexible cells. A future idea for sure but todays tech wouldn't hold up long term let along as long as this awning will last
Needs zippers for walls, Velcro dose not last over years . where’s out to sone . Would buy it if it had zipper walls . Rest is awesome . From Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
I’m currently running a 23 zero falcon and the thing that bugs me is the poles and also the rear arm doesn’t sit parallel with my roof tent. I access the tent from the rear ladder mounted to the canopy and I don’t want to have to climb over the awning arm. Does the rear arm sit completely parallel with the rear of the canopy or is it at a slight angle?
I am picking up a Super Pacific USA (2018 Tundra CrewCab) in Portland end of December. I see you have a distributor in Grants Pass OR. Will this work well with the Super Pacific USA? And if so which brackets do I need?

You can have Micah from Overlandunderbudget take a look at this awning. He makes very similar ones and I'm pretty sure he could add the front arms to his design with no problems.
No you haven't been listening to what the customer wants. I bet a good gust of wind and the walls will come away from the velcro at least with zips that wont happen.
I'd say from my experience that velcro is stronger than zips and if it does fail it's easier for the owner to replace... if a zip fails it's often impossible to replace cheaply...
The best awning I've ever seen also happens to be the most expensive awning I've ever seen. But you know what, I think it's worth it.
Only if I knew about this awning before purchasing the dune 270. This is awesome and handy.
Saving up for one of this. Hopefully the misses will get me one for Chrissy

Besides, velcro is useless in the rain when wet..... I agree with the zippers.
Look it is a security future, before your awning breaks the sidewalls fall off. Maybe it’s not so bad
Beautiful Awning. Great work Bush Company!
I bought a howling moon 270 swing awning and have nothing but problems with it. With hindsight I wish I had bought this one.
Hi Bush Company,
How about doing a install video attaching the awning to the Alpha tent, at $2500 I would like to see how its installed.
I hope it comes with instructions

Been researhing awnings this is 2100 wide where Rld is 2750 and bundutecs largest is 2.9

Could you do a video and review on the walls please
Hi James, coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Hi mate Have you thought of incorporating solar blankets into your awnings. Awesome awning and charging battery at same time
the wire grid would fail on cells that get rolled like this. they won't fail right away but the will fail well before the MTBF rating.

I wish I saw this before I bought my batwing Awning :(
2.5k unfortunatly out of my reach, great product though!

I emailed to ask about this, response: "Thank you for your email enquiry. We have no plans to use zips, the Velcro is strong enough."
Zips can break..sail track would be better
What roof rack would you recommend to mount this awning on a 200 series??
You mention the optional walls, but I can't find them anywhere on your site (not the USA anyway). Do you still make the walls?
Love it! Do you offer shipping to North America?

Can you use this without the roof top tent - ioe Just mount to Roof rack or do you need the Roof Top tent to hold it down?

Any plans for a 180 degree for dual cab utes that still have a tub?
you should zip it to the front to avoid tool bag falling while driving
How much Aussie dollar? Who is the agent in Queensland?
Do you have side walls available for purchase
Awesome.
Does the back square off like the supa peg squareback?
It's very cool. Please tell me the price
Hi, can this be fixed on Kia Sorentro and which roof bars would be required?
👌👌👌👌👌
So this thing is branded by OCAM, Drifta and you guys and it's exactly the same thing each time.
Where in South Africa can I buy this?
Are you Dean? You have lost your accent and are now an Aussie. I just watched your 3-year-old video.
when will this be available in the USA?

Tell the price mate
No you haven't been listening to what the customer wants. I bet a good gust of wind and the walls will come away from the velcro at least with zips that wont happen.
What a shame you are still using velcro to attach the walls and not zippers.
I emailed to ask about this, response: "Thank you for your email enquiry. We have no plans to use zips, the Velcro is strong enough."
I'd say from my experience that velcro is stronger than zips and if it does fail it's easier for the owner to replace... if a zip fails it's often impossible to replace cheaply...
Fair enough 🖒
Just add a good snap at either end and the center of each wall. With the velcro its bullet proof.
Thanks for the vid but Ummm guys, you can’t review your own product without being biased
almost 2k, LOL.
It's 2.5K!
