Real world awning difference?

[tyron]

Hi Guys,

Some products you should never go cheap, others it is not so bad. I am in the market for an awning, D40 with factory roof racks. No Cage, no canopy.

Just chasing peoples opinions, I am looking for a larger one, that does not NEED pegs. Preferably in Brisbane cause i need to get it before 17th. Figured 4 weeks on the road camping might be nice to have some shade

Pricing seems to range from $150 (Tigerz11) to 350 (Opposite Lock). I tent to exclude ARB, from my experience you are paying for the name not the quality (kinda like a Toyota or an iPhone )

i have a tigerz and it`s good, you only need to peg it if it`s windy, but remember it`s attached to your truck and if the wind gets to it, it`s gunna belt your paintwork! two pegs isn`t hard work (((-;

Thanks for the feedback. I would probably peg it all the time, but if it is " free standing" its easier to setup

I've got a supercheap ridge ryder one on mine. Haven't had to peg it yet, but I haven't had it open in very high wind.

Iv got a kings awning from 4wd supa centre. Really happy with it. Good quality. Better quality then my mates tjm one that cost him $100 more. Should always peg them down iv seen cars damaged when a gust of wind blows it over the roof

go for the Tiger11 awning, good price and good product. i have a tiger11 and the mate has a Kings , sorry the kings is crap compared to the tiger11 brand.
