Ovs nomadic. I can’t get it super tight for some reason. They don’t recommend leaving it without poles longer than setup, but poles take only a second to setup since they are attached to the brackets. If we are only stopping for a bit I wouldn’t hesitate to go poleless provided thrrrs no wind.

bummer, wonder why you can't pull the rear straps tightly? Show us some pics of both straps mounting solutions pls.
I just bungee them, could be why. I'll see if I can find some pics.
To be honest I haven’t looked in the bag, I will next time we go camping.

Some updates.
Howling Moon's US distributor is Sierra Expeditions had claimed the 270 awning was on the way. I have been trying to contact them for about 10 days. No one has answered the phone. I don't know if he is still in business.
The Bush Company looks interesting to me but wish a larger size was available. Here is a link to a US supplier. https://lynxoutdoorusa.com/collections/awnings/products/270-xt-awning-2-3m-left .
The video claims to have an optional wall set but i can't find proof of it, they just allude to the velcro being used to attach it. Here is a link to the South African manufacturer's website: https://www.thebushcompanyusa.com/
For the Bush Company one the guys at Southern Expeditions were great to work with. Really works well with their tent and which you can mount a lot of different things on.

I really want/need a wall setup. Where i live and spend time any awning would be used more often for rain wind or snow than sun.
I am not falling for "velcro on the awning to attach walls" sales pitch. I want to see pics of the wall and a show that is in stock before I order an awning. To me the fact they used velcro for the attachment is a bit of a fail. I like the fact the awning is so strong I could dance onto of it. But If there are no poles offered and only velcro for attachment makes me wonder what the walls would look like.
Ovs sells walls for their 270. Quite expensive for what it is though. They use zippers.
