Product Description
180 XT MAX Awning Mk2 Overview
The Canvas:

- Properties: Mould, mildew, and water-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability and protection.
-
Reinforcement:
- Ends of Trussed Arms: Additional triple reinforcement to prevent chafing.

The Frame:
- Material: Constructed from an extruded aluminium alloy composite designed for optimal elasticity, strength, and durability.

-
Arms:
- Main Truss Arms: Gusseted for additional strength, allowing the awning to be free-standing without poles.
- Front and Rear Single Arms: Strengthened with a honeycomb cross-section throughout their length for enhanced support.
Poles and Guy Ropes:
- Poles: Not required; the design is robust enough to function without them.
-
Guy Ropes and Pegs: Supplied with the awning to secure it:
- Pegging: It is recommended to peg down the front and rear arms to prevent excessive upward movement.
- Attachment: Guy ropes attach to 1-tonne webbing straps on the canvas at the ends of the arms and midway along each canvas section.
- Water Management: Use guy ropes to prevent water pooling and guide runoff. Avoid leaving the awning up during snowfall to prevent stretching from excessive weight.

- Features: UV and heat stabilised to resist deterioration from the sun and elements, and designed to endure extended flexing without cracking.
Awning Accessories:

- Wall Kits: Optional 180 XT MAX Awning Wall Kit for fully enclosing the area beneath the awning. For wind protection or privacy, high-quality mesh or solid canvas universal single walls are also available.
The 180 XT MAX Awning Mk2 is a highly durable and functional awning solution, designed for easy setup and long-term use in various weather conditions, ideal for overlanding and camping.
