OVS Nomadic 180 Awning - Dark Gray with Black Travel Cover - Universal

Bought for a Turtletop shuttle bus / Skoolie conversion project. I was worried that the poles might not be long enough for such a tall vehicle but they are adjustable and work great. The canopy is quite large and well engineered. Stretches from one end of the bus to the other providing shade and rain protection.Comes with integrated cover, tie downs, stakes, poles, heavy duty mounting brackets, u bolts, and an assortment of stainless hardware (arrives in a smaller box and also some pieces are packed inside of stake bag). I used 3 pieces of 12” heavy duty aluminum strut channel and some creative planning to bolt to the metal sub frame below the fiberglass roof. This required a lot of planning and patience. If I had a metal roof or existing roof rack install would have been much easier. The installation has survived highway / interstate speeds, rain and a power washer without issue.So far I am very pleased with the awning.

Installed this awning on my 2023 Toyota 4Runner SR5 on a Tyger Auto full roof rack.The hardware is almost complete, but installing on this type of channel crossbars I’ve needed about 12 X 1/4 carriage bolts and nylon lock nuts.I’ve seen some people having issues with their 4Runner hatch hitting the awning when deployed and decided to install a bit angled.By angled I mean the front of the awning mount is as close as possible to my roof rack and the back is spaced about 1.5 inched from the rack.It works great and it doesn’t touch my hatch, also I can open and close it at anytime (see the last screenshot).It easy to deploy and pack up and if the weather is calm I’m not even bothering to install the extra poles.It looks great and the materials seem to be of high quality. We’ll see how this system will last in 365 day of hot/scorching Florida weather.

This awning is the one I decided to swing for the fences with. Yes, it's big. But I wanted more than just a straight awning and my Luna Rover's hatch wouldn't allow for a 270⁰ awning. Enter the XD 180. It went on rather easily, is very sturdy and can be used without poles in most instances. The fabric is rather thick and appears it will hold up for a long while. I'm now considering one for the other side because of how nice it is.

Installed in 2020 Toyota 4Runner with 3rd party roof rack. The quality is good, installation is straight forward. Good coverage.But I have to return it. My issue with this awning is when it’s deployed the rear door of the 4runner cannot be opened to its full height because the door swing open higher above the roof line. The rear section/arm of the awning when opened obstruct the rear door from opening properly because of the design of the door itself which is slightly wide above the rear taillights. In other words, this awning will not work if your rear door design is like what I described. Now if using this awning without needing access/opening of the trunk then yeah it’s okay.But I was hoping that with the awning deployed I could just keep the rear door open to kind of add more shades. But that is not the case.I hope this help.

Excellent build. High quality product that does its job. Was easy to instal on my trailer and simple to deploy. I would purchase again.

Very nicely-constructed awning (this is my third truck awning over the years so I am very familiar with them). The positives are the massive coverage area, the great construction, 2 of the 4 support poles are tucked in with the awning at all times (the other 2 for the outer corners are separate but not really needed), comes with very nice tie-down rope, and it is easy and fast to set-up. The negatives are the massive size - it is very long and tall on the rack, and it is very heavy. However, this is unavoidable if you want the massive coverage area and durable construction. It is also a bit tedious to put it away and fit it all back into the zipped cover - it's more of a 2 person job. But overall, it's a great product at a very good price.

I can't begin to tell you how much I like this thing . it fits my 4runner Gobi rack great , it deploys in about 30 seconds , packs up in an about 45 seconds . it's always there , I use it a lot and everyone that sees it , wants it . I've seen the big brands , the knockoffs.. this one beats them all . I absolutely love it!Make sure you don't roll it up , fold it up . Make sure you get boat zipper lube (here on Amazon) if you offroad alot . it will keep the super heavy duty zipper working great .HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I was able to put this on by myself at a campsite and was very happy about this. This awning is great very easy to use. There are 2 small issues that I would like to address. 1. when folding it will fold the hold-down straps inside the awning and you have to fully unfold it to get them out. 2. the zippers rattle and clang you need to leave them unzipped a bit or tie some cord on them to keep them quiet. These are very small things in the grand scheme of how great this awning is. I would buy again but I think I would get the 270 next time.
