Awnings & Accessories
An awning is the highest comfort-per-dollar upgrade in overlanding: thirty seconds after parking you have shade for lunch, rain cover for the kitchen, and a living room the size of a patio. We carry Eezi-Awn — the expedition canvas benchmark — and Overland Vehicle Systems awnings in straight and 270° wraparound styles, plus the brackets, walls, and hardware to fit them to your rack.
Awnings & Accessories FAQs
Can my roof rack hold an awning?
Almost certainly — awnings run 30–80 lbs and mount to the rack's side extrusion with two or three brackets, well within any quality rack's rating. The checks that matter are mounting-side clearance (doors, tire carriers) and bracket compatibility with your rack's slot system, both easy to confirm before ordering.
Are 270° awnings hard to deploy solo?
Modern designs deploy in under two minutes alone — unzip, swing the arms around, drop legs if the wind asks. Stowing solo is equally routine after the second try. The old two-person-wrestling reputation belongs to earlier generations; current Eezi-Awn and OVS hardware swings on its own geometry.
How much wind can an awning take?
Staked and guyed, quality awnings ride out surprisingly stiff breezes; unstaked and free-standing, even moderate gusts can fold arms and tear fabric. The rule: legs down and guy lines on when you leave camp or the trees start talking. Wind damage is user error in almost every warranty story ever told.
What's the real difference between an Eezi-Awn and a budget awning?
Fabric weight, UV life, and hardware: expedition canvas that shrugs off years of sun instead of chalking in two, aluminum cases and arms instead of flexing steel and plastic, and stitching designed for a decade of cycles. A budget awning shades this season; an Eezi-Awn outlasts the truck it's bolted to.
