Introducing the Alu-Cab 180° Shadow Awning, a free-standing awning that folds out to be parallel with your vehicle, allowing easy access to the rear of your vehicle where your drawer system, fridge, and supplies are stored. There are no additional steps or poles to pitch; you just unzip the bag and swing the awning through a 180º. It’s so easy, one person can manage it.For seasoned campers, an awning is very often the first accessory they bolt to their vehicle, knowing that the ability to cast as much shade as possible (in the quickest time) is crucial to overland travel. For inclement weather, the guy ropes should be used to prevent pooling of water on the canvas and to guide water runoff in preferred places.
