Throwing Shade… Rhino-Rack Awnings
The Rhino-Rack DOME 1300 awning on a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform is perfect for truck camping and overlanding.
Your campsite, or sometimes even your jobsite, is a little bit like a home away from home. You bring your essentials, everything you will need for your time away. When you get to your destination, you survey your site and begin to settle in, you spread out your stove, your camp chairs, your cooler, your hammock, your corn hole boards, and whatever other items made the cut. Then it’s time to relax, but if you didn’t find the ideal, tree surrounded site, there’s a good chance that you are sitting in your camp chairs in direct sunlight, which is relaxing for about 20 minutes. If you already have a rack on your vehicle, whether it is a platform on the cab, a simple set of crossbars, or a bed rack, the addition of an awning will take your site to the next level. Awnings, like a good rug, really tie the room together, so to speak. Suddenly your campsite goes from a scattered yard sale of belongings, to your personal wilderness retreat.
Rhino-Rack has made it their business to ensure that they have the perfect awning for every use. In the three main types below, Rhino-Rack has an awning for two people or eight people, for a lifted full size truck or a Subaru Outback, a full out camp site to a place to cover your chop saw. Whatever your adventure looks like, Rhino-Rack has you covered.
Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning
Originally the Foxwing awning, the all-new Batwing is a top of the line 270 degree awning. Made from a heavy-duty, water and mold resistant material that has been tested and rated to UPF 50 +, the Batwing will offer years of reliable sun protection, keeping you and your campsite guests cool and covered. The Batwing awning is available in driver side and passenger side variations in both the full size and compact proportions.
Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awnings
In a traditional rectangular style, Rhino-Rack offers their Sunseeker 2.0 and Sunseeker 2.5 awnings. Both are excellent options, depending on your size needs. Sunseeker awnings are easily deployed and offer great sun protection for your camp site or your job site. Perfect for quick trips, but with enough coverage for up to four people.
Rhino-Rack DOME 1300 Awning
Rhino-Rack’s innovative DOME 1300 awning provides the extra height you need for head clearance when mounting an awning to a vehicle with a lower roof. The domed shape also helps to shed water from light rain fall. The Dome 1300 Awning can be mounted to either side of your vehicle or directly to the rear, so you can cover the rear hatch area on your SUV or leave your tailgate and truck cap door open to have a covered porch for your truck camping setup. As the lowest cost variation, the DOME 1300 is an approachable option for new campers trying out an awning for the first time.
Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning Side Wall
To compliment their range of awnings, Rhino-Rack has also developed a range of awning accessories. Their popular side wall options help to lend additional sun coverage and privacy to your space. With the variety of side walls for the Batwing awning, you can fully enclose your covered space, turning your awning into a multi-person tent. The mesh floor saver is made to mirror your Batwing awning to the ground, and makes for a covered space that you won’t mind going barefoot in. Each additional accessory is designed to maximize the potential of your awning and your camp setup.
So, if you are thinking about pulling your campsite together or keeping your work area covered at the job site, give us a call. We would be happy to help you select the Rhino-Rack Awning that will help take your overlanding vehicle, fishing rig, or work truck to the next level, because every day the sun comes up, and every drive is an adventure.
