I've got a awning on the car which comes with an end wall.
Usually this is all I need, but there are a few times when the wind shifts around and you cop a lot of freezing air coming from beneath the car (
Vic High country).
Seems to me it wouldn't be all that difficult to produce with a couple of attachment points to the wheels, Bull bar and tow bar.
Anyone know if this sort of product is available any where?
If not, I'll give a fella I know in QLD a call and get one made up.
Regards
Kim

Kim, buy a cheap blue tarp and "cut and paste" to the design you want...put the eyelets/ fixings where they should go....then road
test it....then you will a pattern for exactly what you want....this is the method I use for all my projects.

I've pretty much done that already over the years in one form or the other. Be good though if a manufacturer came up with a generic product available to everyone.
There's probably a few traders on this site who may be interested.

There are too many variables to produce a generic model. It is the same with caravans. Aussie Traveller have standard walls for three sides of their annexes but have to measure carefully to produce the skirt.

I don't think so. The length of most popular 4wds are pretty much the same, give or take a few inches (Toyota, Nissan).
I'd be a bit surprised if some clever fella can't come with a design. This has nothing to do with annexes or awnings.

Whether you fit the skirt as part of an annex or use it on its own to stop the wind from coming under the vehicle it is still the same sort of skirt. It does not matter whether it is on a 4WD or a caravan it is still a skirt to stop the breeze.
