BuyThere’s nothing like a quality vehicle side awning to make for a comfortable camping adventure!

Anyone can go camping when the weather’s nice – that’s the easy part! In fact on a good day you only need a double swag and a mesh floor to make for an easy, comfortable campsite. But you can never truly guarantee that the weather will be good to you when you are camping, which is where a 4WD awning comes in! These clever, easy to setup bits of camping gear are the ultimate best first camping mod you’ll ever make, because they’re just so easy to setup and offer so much shelter. You can even customise them with awning tents and awning walls to add even more protection from the elements. Let’s take a look at why a 4WD side awning is the best first camping gear upgrade!

Blue skies one minute – but check out those clouds about to roll in off the mountains!

If there’s one thing we can say about the weather, it’s that it’s unpredictable. Just take a look at the photo above – one minute we’ve got perfect blue skies without a cloud in sight, and the next minute there’s a whole bunch of clouds rolling in off the mountains. And while these clouds and nice and fluffy, the ones that followed them half an hour later were much darker and more foreboding! When you’ve got your 4WD awning setup, you don’t have to worry about your camping gear getting wet when the weather turns nasty – especially if you add a 4WD awning side wall to keep the rain from coming in from the sides!

The more comfortable you make your campsite, the more you will go camping!

Here’s a fact that we know to be true – if you want to go camping more often, then you need to make your campsite more comfortable! That way, if you’ve got someone in your family or your mates who are on the fence about camping, they’re more likely to be keen to go away camping too. There’s simply no easier, better way to add real comfort to your campsite, than a 4×4 side awning! They set up in minutes and add protection from the sun, the wind and the rain. Who says camping has to be about roughing it? We’re all about camping comfy, and if you’re looking for a best first camping gear upgrade, then you’ll find it in a 4wd side awning.

Wrap-around side awnings like the Adventure Kings 270° King Wing add so much protection from the elements!

Got a big camping crew? Then you’ll love the fact that you can get a camping awning that offers huge amount of space – like the amazing Adventure Kings 270° King Wing Awning! This wrap-around camping awning offers 11 square metres of shelter directly underneath it, down the passenger side and the rear of your vehicle. That makes it perfect for camping shelter, whether it’s to put your double swag underneath, or to setup your camp chairs and alloy camp table for a nice sheltered area to relax under. And just because it’s huge when setup, doesn’t make the Adventure Kings 270° Wrap-Around Awning hard to setup – in fact one person can set it up in under a minute!

We love simple camp setups – and it doesn’t get much simpler than a regular pull-out side awning!

While it’s great to take all the luxuries of home with you when you go camping, sometimes the simple camp setups are the best – and when it comes to easy to setup camping shelter, you just can’t beat a 4WD camping awning! Add one of the regular Adventure Kings 2×2.5m awning, 2.5×2.5m awning or 2x3m awning to your vehicle and in under a minute you’ll have camping shelter wherever you need it. And because your 4WD awning is so easy to setup, you’ll find yourself using it so often – whether you’re camping, at the park, or even on the jobsite!

Add even more shelter to your 4WD awning by adding optional accessories like awning side walls and camping mesh floors

Want even more camping comfort and shelter? Then all you’ve got to do is customise your camping awning by adding camping awning accessories like the Adventure Kings awning side wall and Adventure Kings Mesh Floor! That way not only are you protected from the elements from above thanks your vehicle awning’s UPF50+, waterproof polyester material, but you’ll also be protected from the sides and even from the ground. Like we said – it’s all about making camping more comfortable. Forget roughing it – the more comfortable you make your camp setup, the more often you’ll go camping – and that’s a massive win in our books!

Transform your 4WD awning with an optional enclosed Awning Tent for the perfect camping accommodation!

Here’s something we absolutely love about taking a 4×4 awning camping with us – you can add an optional awning tent and turn your camping awning into a genuine fully-enclosed and waterproof tent! These are an amazing camping accommodation option because they use the frame of your vehicle awning as the support structure, with the awning tent simply attaching with loops to the awning in minutes. And because there’s no internal centre pole, you get such a huge amount of space inside your awning – more than enough to stand up inside to get changed!

The more you use your camping awning, the better value it becomes!

And here’s our all-time favourite reason why we believe a vehicle awning is the perfect first camping upgrade – because you can use it even when you aren’t camping! Use your camping awning on picnics, at the park, at home when you’re working on your car or even on the jobsite. When you frequently use your camping awning, you’ll realise it was the best value investment in your camping experience you can make – because you’ll use it just about any time you’re outdoors!
