I keep waffling back and forth between a ~several hundred dollar higher end awning and a cheaper generic (smaller) one. Anybody selling one? I'm in the Philly area.

The Overland Vehicle Systems 270 awning is great, and its affordable.. I have one on my truck and I open it all the time since it takes like 50 seconds it setup and maybe 90 second to pack up.

It would be very difficult and defeat the point of buying a 270... Overland Vehicle Systems sells a 180 awning... its alot of shade as well.

I might be interested, my 110 is RHD so that's ideal as passenger side for me based on how the rear door opens...
DM'ing you.

For sure, for me I've found the awning to be a key piece of camping gear that I use pretty much every trip. Because of that I want to upgrade to something a little easier to pack and store, which honestly will probably be the next version of what I have, the Batwing. They made some basic improvements with the Batwing that are appealing. If you are getting an awning for the first time I think buying something used/discounted is a good option. And I have used this awning (the Foxwing) in a variety of environments always with good luck. It'a amazing to have a huge rain shelter if it rains, sun shelter from hot sun, snow shelter, and with the tapered extensions wind shelter. I have 2 extensions and at some point will probably get 2 more so I can fully enclose it. The negative to all those extensions is it's just more work to setup and take down. But if you're parked 2-3 days in any kind of bad weather they are great. Also the newer Batwing extensions connect just find to the Foxwing awning.
