Want a 5 Foot Wide Awning

Roof rack in place and now I want an awning. The Prinsu rack is 60" (5 feet) front to back so nothing much beyond that. I'm looking for something that doesn't require multiple people to set it up. Anybody have a brand and model they love?

My AluCab batwing is the bee's knees... 24 second set-up for one person. They now make a shorter (~ 6') version:


Photo # 3 gives an idea of how much the extra 1' would protrude. Expensive, but a lifetime purchase that is often used owing to its ease of set-up.

Never seen 23 zero before— looks awesome, reasonable in cost too, given state of things…

Awnings are nice and convenient yet like a tarp better when staying put for awhile.

The 23 Zero awning though looks well made and easy to use.

I like how you set up. We're agreed on the versatility of a simple tarp. A 90, 180, 270 or whatever will always be on the wrong side and never over the boiler room.

Thx. Yet only used primarily when we stay in one spot for more than an overnight. This was in Val d'Isère for a week trip.

When on the move and changing camp every day this is where I see the value of an attached awning.
