Looking to up your off-road camping game? Then look no further than our range of awnings! Going beyond the rooftop and ground tent accommodation, the addition of an awning can create the space and size you need to feel right at home wherever you pitch up.
It’s not just during those off-road adventures when the addition of an awning makes perfect sense either. An awning can help to enhance your every day as Practical Motoring details:
“Whether you’re down at the park watching the kids play footy when it starts to drizzle, or you’re out and about in the scrub and you need to get out of the sun to enjoy some lunch, all you have to do is roll out your awning, extend some poles and voila… instant shelter. Awnings are also a great place to roll out your swag when the weather takes a turn for the worse.”
Whatever grand plans you have for your awning, the Rockalu brand should certainly be explored. Offering 360- and 450-degree designs, their awning range provides the premium quality, efficiency and convenience every 4×4 owner needs in their lives. But, should you buy a Rockalu 360 or 450 awning?
What is a Rockalu 360 awning?
Delivering a huge amount of useful space from an extremely compact product, French awning specialist Rockalu has made quite the name for themselves in the 4×4 world. Their 360 awning is ideal for leisure and travel, with the heavy-duty shelter and associated components providing the coverage to stay comfortable both on and off the road.
This particular product gets its name from the amount of coverage it offers. The Rockalu 360 boasts 180 degrees of coverage from the front and the rear when fully extended for optimum flexibility, a truly personalised setup, and an easy-to-handle ‘foxwing’ design.

What about the Rockalu 450 awning?
The Rockalu 450 offers even more bang for your buck, with a huge amount of coverage accessible in total. This time, the front section of the awning rotates by 180 degrees while the rear section rotates by 270 degrees. Its batwing design wraps around the rear of the vehicle, with this coverage making the Rockalu 450 one of the largest and most flexible awning designs on the market.
The Rockalu 450 is available with optional side walls (both left and right) for added privacy, and specially designed fixings for attachment to ARB BASE (find out more about how to add an awning to your ARB BASE Rack), Front Runner or Rhino Rack roof racks. Standard fixing hardware is also an option making it compatible with other roof rack models.
Which is right for me?
All Rockalu products are fantastic choices for creating a custom setup that will serve you well both on the road and off. Rockalu’s awnings are durable, stylish and truly flexible, providing the freestanding awning design of many people’s dreams! Rugged construction makes both the Rockalu 360 and 450 awnings real hits with off-roaders.
When deciding which is right for you, consider the space you need. While all Rockalu awnings can be deployed quickly and simply single-handedly, solo travellers may not need the additional space available from Rockalu’s larger 450-degree design.
