Hi All.
was just wondering if anyone has any reviews or experiences using the Rhino Rack
Foxwing awnings. I've seen them on a 4x4 TV show recently and they looked a good idea. considering it for my D22 navara, once i have a canopy fitted.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to all

I was going to get two single awnings and put one on the side and one to the rear.
The
Foxwing did both and cured the corner gap between a side and rear awing and was simmilar cost wise to the two single ones.
Plus you can add walls and an Oz tent if so inclined.
If you only want to use it for a short stop/shade type thing and it was a calm day wind wise you could do without the poles for a short time.

I dont have to worry about rain and camping with the awning . Its large and covers the side and back of the car . It takes a minute to set up . You can buy side awnings for it . No downsides apart from the $1000 .

We've had one for a few months now. Very happy with it. It's easy for one person to load on and off, gives plenty of shade coverage, and only takes minutes to set up. The only negative is that the poles could be a little longer and it doesn't open the full 270 degrees. The side awnings are worth the extra money as they can be set up to give plenty more shade or provide wind protection.

Ian I ordered
mine with 2.2 meter poles as oposed to the 1.9 meter standard set.
Maybe worth changing to the longer set?

Damn! I didn't realise there was an option! Thanks for the heads-up, I'll get hold of the longer poles.

They have mounting brackets for almost all racks.
Mine is coming with mounts to suit my ARB rack but the same will fit the TJM rack also.
Ask them is the best way.
