Just put a canopy on the new ute am now looking at fitting a tigers 11 awning 2.5 x 2.5 .
My last ute I had the Ironman version had a lot of use with no problem, I'm hoping for a similar run fron this one. Only going to this model due to slightly larger.
Anyone with any experiences with these?

Noldi,
I had a Tiger 11 awning, 2.5 x 2.5, for a 60 Series, took one look at it and decided to change it, got rid of the legs and other bits that came with it, I was just left with the awning itself and the bag it came in, I then took it to a trimmer and got him to put eyelets in one end, ( for the 2 poles I had, these were stronger than the ones supplied), then I got the trimmer to put a canvas sleeve under the front of the awning so I could roll the poles up inside itself., it worked
well and was stronger than what was supplied, here in
Exmouth it gets windy and I thought the bits and pieces supplied would not be able to handle the winds we get.
Cheers
Mark

Thanks Mark, I'll keep that in mind. I found the Ironman a bit flimsy as
well, but fot the price. I'll
check it out when it comes, lots of work to do to get the ute livable

Hi Noldi.
We recently bought a Supa Peg deluxe awning which are made in Qld.
We are presently on our road trip around Oz.
So glad we bought the quality product as it has already paid divid ends in 40 + degrees in
Coffin Bay on
the beach sitting out the heat wave!
It oozes quality and is very robust with high quality fittings.
Order on line and you have it in a week!
Cheers
Pete
