How do I know which awning is right for my vehicle?

Selecting the right awning for your vehicle can be a bit of a challenge, which is why it's important to ensure you choose the correct size and style to match your setup and intended use.

• Small to Medium SUVs – A 2-metre pull-out awning is typically the best fit, offering coverage dimensions of approximately 2m (length) x 2–2.5m (width).

• Larger SUVs (e.g. Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X) – A 2.5-metre pull-out awning provides greater shade and coverage. Alternatively, a 180/270-degree awning may be a suitable option for more extensive protection.

• Large Wagons (e.g. Toyota Land Cruiser 200/300 Series, Nissan Y62 Patrol) – Depending on your setup and application, a 180- or 270-degree awning offers excellent coverage and convenience. If you want a super simple system, the 2/2.5m pull-out awnings are an excellent choice.

• Dual Cab Utes – If you're mounting the awning to the cab, a 2 or 2.5-metre pull-out awning or a 180-degree awning is usually ideal. If your ute is equipped with a canopy or a suitable tub rack system, this can also support the use of a larger 270-degree awning.

Given the wide range of awnings available, it’s essential to pair your awning with the correct roof rack system for secure and safe mounting. If you're unsure, our team is here to help guide you toward the best solution for your vehicle and lifestyle.
