Adding an awning or awning room to your 4WD makes perfect sense for so many reasons. The space and coverage a compatible awning offers can ensure a comfortable and complete setup for those who love to camp or travel off-road.
If you’re in the market for an awning, leading French brand Rockalu is well worth exploring. Their huge awnings have gained them a legion of fans, whilst the premium quality and easy setup of their designs leaves off-road and camping enthusiasts particularly impressed.
In this blog post, we shine the spotlight on their 450-degree design to help you find the perfect awning for your next adventure.
The ultimate batwing awning
As the largest awning in our Rockalu range, the Rockalu 450 offers the coverage to camp in complete comfort. When fully extended, the Rockalu 450’s front section rotates by 180 degrees and the rear section by 270 degrees. The result? Up to 12m2 of flexible coverage that always comes in handy when travelling off-road.
The Rockalu 450’s iconic batwing design makes the space particularly useful too. We’ll let Total 4×4 explain more about the benefits of going batwing:
“A lot larger than your standard awning, they are designed to cover a huge space due to its long wings that extend out. This type of awning is a lot larger than others and the base requires to be mounted securely to your roof rack. At the back end of the base is a huge hinge that supports the entire awning, this is where the ‘wings’ are attached and will need to be placed towards the rear corner of your vehicle.”
Roof rack specific mounting kits as standard
4×4 drivers wishing to add an awning to an ARB BASE Rack, Front Runner roof rack or Rhino Rack roof rack will be able to transform their vehicle into an impressive, off-road home from home even more quickly and conveniently with a Rockalu 450 awning.
Their premium kits have been specially engineered with your roof rack in mind. As a result, fitting your Rockalu 450 awning will require no drilling, while you’ll find all the hardware, fasteners and brackets you need for easy installation.
