Gen 3 Fantail 180 Car Rooftop Awning

Our New Gen 3 180 Awnings have only just landed and new photos will be uploaded soon. Check the photos of our Gen 3 270 as a lot of the features are the same.  A major overhaul on the new Gen 3 awning range now offers even more strength and quality. 

Full angled inner and outer wall kits are in stock - please contact us

Our 180 awning is a full sized 2.3m long awning providing 9.2 m2 of coverage - a massive 6.5m span along the side of your vehicle and is fully free standing - the largest of its type in NZ. 

100% waterproof guaranteed! 

Fully designed here in NZ and we now offer a full 3 year warranty.

The 180 awning fits either left hand side and right hand side of the vehicle

Lights - 2 arms have built in touch dimmable amber/white LED lights - each light has its own touch dimmable switch so you have full control of how much power you want to use. The lights are switchable from white to amber to reduce bugs or both amber and white.  

Travel Cover - Heavier grade PVC at a whopping 1000D! Great resistant to damage from branches and bush when off-roading.

Two of the arms have a small pole to push up the roof fabric to aid water run off.  It also has rain valley tie points between each arm to create a gutter to aid water run off in heavy rain.

Our truss arm design uses our engineered extrusions - designed here - for the ultimate in arm strength.  A truss arm is far superior to any single pole arm.

Increased strength and thickness of the aluminum awning backing board. The awning arm hinge has also had a major overhaul in design 4mm Stainless steel with backing plates to support this crucial part of the awning.

The awning has a pouch to hold a power bank and a USB and cig plug so you can choose what power supply you want - power bank (not included) or auxiliary batteries or directly to the start battery.

Superior quality pole legs - using a thicker wall tube which allows for a much firmer hold when twist locked in place.

The rope ratchet awning tensioner is now fully aluminum with no plastic parts.

We stock all spare parts should you damage anything on your awning.

NOTE - We have 2 choices of bracket length - most standard racks use the standard (short) length included but we have a longer bracket available that suits platforms etc. Bracket to rack mounting hardware is not included due to the many different requirements. We carry a variety of hardware here so let us know what you need.
