Tens of thousands of 4WDers, campers and adventurers around Australia are running the Adventure Kings awnings on their 4x4s, cars, vans and trailers. They’re without a doubt some of Australia’s best-value awnings, by combining excellent quality with unbeatable prices. If you’ve recently added an awning to your vehicle then you’ve already discovered just how useful they are. You can set your 4×4 awning up in seconds down at the park, on the job site, at home on the weekend having a BBQ and a million other places.

4×4 awnings aren’t just for camping, they can be used every day! However, we’ve taken the humble awning to the next level by developing a range of accessories to go with your awnings that will make it even more useful and versatile. Each Adventure Kings awning features a modular design that means you can add on extra accessories to make it perfect for you. Here’s five ways you can take your awning to the next level with awning accessories from 4WD Supacentre.

AWNING WALLS
The first upgrade you should make to your awning is the addition of one or two Awning walls. Awning walls are made specifically to suit your size awning, and attach to the awning’s horizontal support poles with heavy-duty velcro loops. Once you’ve attached the awning wall with all the velcro loops, you simply peg out the bottom of the awning wall to the ground, with the awning wall stretched tight. You’ve instantly created even more shelter from sun, wind or rain, and you’ll be well protected from the elements. The best part is awning walls pack away to next-to-nothing in size, meaning you can store your awning wall under your driver’s seat or anywhere there’s a tiny bit of spare room.

MESH FLOOR
Going hand-in-hand with awning walls are mesh floor upgrades. The mesh floors we sell at 4WD Supacentre have a special woven design that allows dirt and sand to fall through, at the same time as keeping more of that dirt and sand from seeping up through the floor. Until you’ve camped with a nice clean mesh floor, you won’t know what you’re missing out on! The 6m x 3m Adventure Kings mesh floor is the perfect length for spanning under an awning, from one awning wall to the other. Definitely a great upgrade for your awning-based campsite.

AWNING TENT
If you haven’t tried camping in an awning tent yet, you’re missing out! Awning tents are brilliant because they use the awning you already carry on the side of your vehicle as the support poles, and then you simply attach the awning tent to the awning’s poles with velcro loops. What’s amazing about awning tents is that they provide so much room that you can genuinely stand up in them – something you can’t do in just about every other type of tent on the market! The awning tent itself is a genuinely, fully-enclosed tent too, with a heavy-duty PVC floor and mozzie and midgee-proof mesh. An awning tent has to be one of the best, quickest to setup and biggest tents on the market full stop.

MOZZIE TENT
If you camp in hot climates regularly, then an Adventure Kings mozzie tent as an addition to your awning may be exactly what you’re chasing. Mozzie tents function in much the same way as an awning tent, except that instead of heavy-duty canvas walls, each wall is constructed from mozzie and midge-proof mesh. That means you can have all the benefits of being protected from bugs without having to miss out on those beautiful cool evening breezes. Imagine how good it would be to have a massive fully-enclosed space that you could escape the flies in! A mozzie tent is the perfect addition to your awning and even lets you roll a swag out and lay on it without being nailed by the flies and mozzies.

SANDBAG KIT
Here’s a beaut little solution for when you’re camping on the beach, or on really rocky ground. If you can’t drive pegs into the ground or they won’t hold, swap them for a couple of the sandbag kits! These fill with sand and then wrap around the bottom of your awning legs to secure them in place in windy conditions.
