OzTent FoxWing Vehicle Retractable Awning

Introducing our NEW! addition to our family camping line from Australia, the FoxWing awning a brilliantly designed, 1 piece, easy to operate swing out awning that will shade the side and rear of your vehicle in seconds. Unique, due to its simplistic 1 person operation, the FOXWING Awning can be set up and packed down in minutes, making it the perfect solution to protect you from the elements. The FoxWing awning extension is also available to provide additional side coverage.

Supplied with fitting kits the FOXWING awning easily attaches to any Rhino-Rack Roof Rack cross bars. Great for camping trips, tailgating & watching the kids play sports. The FOXWING Awning is also ideal for tradesmen or mobile coffee operators for example.

Made from the same high quality material (rip-stop polycotton canvas) used in the OZTENT the FOXWING Awning is UV protected, water proof and mould resistant. The solid frame consists of anodised aluminium and corrosion resistant hardware so it won't rust. All telescopic poles, guy ropes and pegs are included and come with their own travel bag for neat and tidy storage when not in use. Perfect for the avid camper, traveller or tradesman, the FOXWING Awning is the quick and easy solution to protect you from the elements. You can even attach your Oztent to it (with the purchase of the Awning Connector).

Thunderstorm Safety While Camping

While tent camping or hiking you are sometimes faced with decisions that need to be made quickly, such as a Thunderstorm that has moved into your area while on a hike or camping at your campsite location, do not attempt to move into an open area if you would be the tallest in your immediate surroundings. If the lightning is getting closer (time from flash to bang is getting shorter), you may have time to cross the open area to reach a better shelter, do so quickly so you do not get caught in the open area. If the flash to bang is less than 30 seconds then at this point if you are surrounded by trees or other tall items you would be better off to stay where you are and take cover in your tent or take cover under closest available shelter until the storm passes.
