Was watching some 4wd show on the telly yesterday arvo and it had segment on the
Foxwing awning, I thought what a brilliant idea. I see they're in the normal price range for anything 4wd ie $1,000. So who's got one?

G'day Rod,
They are great. I don’t have one but a mate does. I wouldn’t buy one however as I find my Open Sky is adequate and much easier and quicker to set up. Depends on what you need to get under it.
Regards,
Myles.

Hi Rod
It did look the part, It was on Pat Callinan's show. I'm gonna make an awning for around $140 but itll be no where as good as the
Foxwing.
Cheers Wilko

Hi Rod I have one and they are great. The first time I set it up was on Fraser in sept, pulled up at elli creek must have been 50 4x4 there at the time pulled it around and before I could tie it down a gust of wind blew up and the
dam thing was bent over my roof. At the time of sale they promoted it as a one man set up but even there own sales people experienced the same as me. When I got back I spoke to the
Foxwing people and they fixed it for free.Can't ask for more than that. Trick is to never set it up by yourself always tie it down and you will have no troubles. Hope you enjoy your
foxwing cheers.

About 10yrs ago now I was considering a trip from
Perth to
Cape York and was thinking of a quick shade/weather protection canopy. I had several ideas like the
foxwing but they would have been solid/bulky structures cause that the way I make things. But then I seen the Quickshade instant erection shelters 3m x 3m (aussie made) so I brought one around $1200 and I haven't looked back, its been a fantastic canopy.
