you could use a few old speakers for the magnets to hold it to the roof or park close to a few trees and cross tie
I see your point

Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Yeah, back before all the OBX beaches went pay to play. I don't go down there anymore.
Hi Mike, I'm curious about the overland pros awning that you have on your 4runner. Is it a 270 deg awning? (Sorry, I did check Instagram but could not find any photos that
showed it deployed in a way that I could discern the size.)
If it is a 270, are you able to fully open the rear lift gate?
PS: We attended your camp security class at overland expo mtn west--very helpful! Thank you!

I wanted a right-hand side opening for the van, but they are hard to get in Australia.Make sure to pick the correct awning for the side of the vehicle that you want to put it on if you go with a 270 degree awning. Our kitchen in on the pax side (and so is our awning) to keep us as far away from the road when pulling over for a quick bite.

We tend to put the van as far off the road as possible and the awning towards the road. (We drive on the left).
At the moment, I'm using LHS OzTent Foxwing. It used to be on another vehicle, so it's what I had to hand at the time.
I could say it's old, but only the backplate, canvas and 3 out of 4 spars are original. Everything else has been replaced.

Have a look at the Batwing by RHINO RACK. They are AUS based.

Ironman 4X4 XTR-71 DeltaWing is what I’m using. It’s freestanding but has legs if needed. It’s also RHS.

On the beach, we had a massive tarp we would bungee cord between the roof racks of two different vehicles, creating a cavernous shelter between them. I've experimented with a stand-alone tarp as well.

Corolla? Or Hatteras?

Carova Beach a few years ago. I don't visit anymore though. I'm not paying what they're asking to go out there now.

I have the front runner awning and I am very happy with it. Also excellent support when required some replacements.

We have a 270 Darche awning. Not the cheapest but the only one I could find that has side slanting walls at 270 that provide a huge covered area as a living space. In reality wind is your concern with awnings and use. So it very much depends where and when you are likely to use it. If it’s a windy area then build strength has to be your priority. If that’s not a concern then area and shade might be. What one option gives it using is poorer in another area. So identifying your use case is the best place to start.

I have the iKamper 270 degree awning. Quite pricey and difficult sometimes to close. Otherwise good also in the wind.

Here is my Oztent/Foxwing 270-degree awning.
The ropes, canvas, backplate, and two of the horizontal rails are original. Much of the rest is not, but the parts support has been great.
