OPENROAD 270 Degree Awning Plus With D-door
OPENROAD 270 Plus Awning — the ultimate car awning for those demanding maximum coverage on Aussie 4WD tours, beach days, and off-grid camps. Boasting a massive 14㎡ of shelter, this oversized 270 degree awning is built from tough 230gsm Oxford polyester. Powered by our next-gen Eclipse Shade Technology™, it blocks harsh UV rays better than standard PU coatings, delivering a cooler, darker retreat beneath its expansive footprint.
When the weather turns, your massive campsite is fully covered. Featuring a 3000mm waterproof rating and a click-in drainage pole that creates a positive fall, rain sheds fast with less sag, less flap, and no “puddle tray” surprises. Plus, a zippered D-door with a waterproof skirt provides easy access to your tent. We’ve also integrated dimmable, three colour-adjustable LED light strips, letting you dial in the perfect ambience for entertaining under your 270 awning.
Built for real-world conditions, this heavy-duty 270 degree awning was wind-tested in Melbourne — rated 30 km/h freestanding and 60 km/h pegged. It is reinforced with dual-layer aluminium swing arms and heavy-duty hinges to provide rock-solid stability for that massive 14 sqm coverage. Complete with a full hardware kit, mounting this premium car awning is easy across crossbars, T-slot racks, platforms, and bed racks, giving you the ultimate large-scale basecamp anywhere you roll.
Rear Tailgate Clearance (Will it hit the awning?)
Rear Tailgate Clearance (Will it hit the awning?)
Whether your tailgate will clear the awning depends on your roof rack height and how high your tailgate opens. As a rule, you’re good to install if:
A=Roof rack height above the vehicle
B=Tailgate open height
B < A + 2.5 cm
If you’re unsure, send us your vehicle model and roof rack setup — we’ll help confirm fitment.

Aluminium Alloy Swing Arms & Heavy-Duty Hinges
We love the outdoors — wind included. But when conditions turn, your awning needs real support. That’s why OPENROAD uses dual-layer aluminium alloy swing arms that are built to resist corrosion, paired with reinforced bracing and heavy-duty hinges for confident, stable deployment. Strong where it counts, lighter on your roof setup — made for real Aussie touring.
OPENROAD 270 Awning Wind Testing
Our 270 freestanding awning was rigorously wind-tested in real-world Melbourne conditions. Through open-air trials, we determined its freestanding rating of 30 km/h and pegged rating of 60 km/h. Our tests compared BOM forecast data with actual onsite wind measurements to ensure reliable, real-world results.
Eclipse Shade Technology™️
Compared to standard PU coatings, the OPENROAD 270 awning is powered by our next-gen Eclipse Shade Technology™️ — a high-density blackout system engineered to block harsh Aussie UV and slash tent temperatures. Combined with durable 230gsm Oxford polyester and a 3000mm waterproof rating, it delivers cooler shade, stronger UV protection and reliable rain defence. Wherever you camp, Eclipse Shade keeps you safe, comfortable and ready for the elements.
Three colour LED light
Three colour LED light
Ever felt like your camp lights were too harsh — or just not right? Each OPENROAD awning features an integrated, dimmable tri-colour LED strip with white, warm yellow and amber modes. Cook in bright white, unwind in warm light, or switch to amber to help reduce bugs around camp. Less gear in your rig, more freedom under the awning
Drainage Support Pole
Drainage Support Pole
Click it in and your awning stops being a puddle tray—it becomes a roof. This compact support lifts the canopy to create a positive drainage fall that channels rain to the edge and off in seconds, so there’s no pooling, no sag and less flap when it’s bucketing down. Your camp stays drier, the fabric and arms take less strain, and pack-up is cleaner with no surprise tip-outs.

Warning
When you roll the awning back, push each hinged arm toward the housing so the fabric and zipper stay aligned — this prevents the canvas from bunching and makes the zipper easy to close.
Tip: do one arm at a time and don’t force the zipper; realign and try again.
Openroad Tips
Your awning is built tough, but harsh weather always wins. When the wind rises or conditions turn nasty, close it down and stow it away—your awning will thank you with years of reliable shade.
