BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Choose 180° for a compact side-camp layout, or 180° XL for a larger covered space beside the vehicle. Choose 270° to connect your side and rear camp areas, or 270° XL for more wraparound coverage. Use the table above to match the canopy to your seating and cooking space.
Yes. Once securely fitted to a suitable vehicle rack, the awning supports freestanding use in suitable calm conditions. Use support legs and guylines when required by your model’s setup instructions, follow its published wind limits and pack away in deteriorating conditions.
Yes. All four models list built-in dimmable lighting and a USB power lead. Adjust the lighting for meal preparation or a relaxed evening at camp. Connect the included lead to a compatible external power source, following the lighting input requirements.
Compatible sidewalls can add privacy and extra shelter around your camp. Choose the sidewall kit that matches your awning model and the enclosure you want. Check the selected kit’s contents; sidewalls are a separate accessory unless expressly included in your chosen package.
Every combination includes a set of three quick-release awning brackets paired with your selected OPENROAD awning. Choose the awning model and vehicle-side option in the purchase area above.
Use the packed dimensions and awning weight in the comparison table to plan your fit. Confirm rack capacity for the complete installed load, mounting-hole spacing and door or tailgate clearance. OPENROAD can review your vehicle, roof-rack model and setup photos before ordering.
