Here at Adventure Kings, we have seven different side and rear 4×4 awnings that are designed to suit all sorts of different setups. If you’re a little overwhelmed at the options and aren’t sure which one suits you, then fear not – because you’re not alone! Let’s take a look at each of the seven different camping awnings on offer, to help you decide which one is best for you. We’ll start in order of smallest, and then make our way to biggest!

1. Kings 2.0m x 1.4m Rear Awning

The baby of our 4WD awning range, this beaut little awning measures 1.4 metres along the vehicle and extends 2.0m metres out when it’s setup. That makes it the perfect size 4×4 awning for fitting to the rear of your vehicle for rear-mounted shelter! Many campers, 4WDers and tradies fit it to open over the back of their wagon, whether that has open-up barn doors like you see on Nissan Patrols, and single swing-out doors on Prados and Pajeros, but it also works on those with lift-up tailgates like Cruisers. We’ve even see a lot of them mounted to the rear of a ute canopy, or even to the headboard of a ute tray extending over the tray. If you’ve got a mini-sized rig like a Jimny or a Sierra, they’re a good option down the side of these too.

2. Kings 2.0m x 2.5m Side Awning

Next up is your 2.0m x 2.5m Side Awning, which as the name suggests extends two metres down the vehicle, and 2.5 metres out from the vehicle. This is very popular with SUV owners as it fits the smaller dimensions of SUVs such as Rav4s and Klugers, CX5s, Outbacks and the like. It gives you a solid amount of shelter when setup, without over-hanging the front or rear pillars of your car when packed away.

3. Kings 2.5m x 2.5m Side Awning

Now we step up to this beaut camping side awning, which is square shaped and measures 2.5 metres down the side of the vehicle by 2.5 metres out when it’s setup. This size is most popular with full-sized wagon owners such as Patrols, Cruisers, Prados and Pajeros. The square size offers an excellent amount of shelter underneath and it looks great, running most of the length down the side of the vehicle from the A pillar to the D pillar.

4. Kings 2.0m x 3.0m Side Awning

Dual cab ute owners listen up, because this is the pull out side awning for camping that you’ve been looking for! This size is perfect for dual cab utes because it allows you to mount it to a shorter roofrack that runs the length of your vehicle cabin, without over-hanging out the front towards your bonnet or rearwards towards your canopy or ute tray, unsupported. It measures two metres alogn the vehicle and three metres out, and is so close in square metres to the shelter that the 2.5m x 2.5m awning offers that it’s practically identical in reality.

5. 270° King Wing Wrap-Around Awning

Now we’re stepping up to the big time shelters! The amazing 270° King Wing wrap-around side awning opens up down the left hand side of your vehicle, and then wraps right around to the back. From the very front of the awning it extends back on a 45° angle, and gives a total of 11 square metres of protected shelter. It’s important to note that due to the design, this will only suit vehicles where the rear of the awning (where the pivoting bracket is), can be supported directly by one of the brackets. In other words, this wrap-around camping awning will suit full-sized wagons, and also dual-cab utes that have a canopy fitted, but won’t be compatible with utes that only have a tray.

6. 270° King Wing Deluxe Wrap-Around Awning

Need even MORE sheltered area? The 270° King Wing Deluxe Wrap-Around Awning adds an entirely new section at the very front of the awning, which extends outwards at a 90° angle and adds an extra support leg and spreader poles to suit. This gives a further 3 square metres of protected shelter for a whopping total of 14 square metres underneath your side awning. Now that’s some serious protection from the elements!

7. BONUS: New Adventure Kings Instant Ensuite Shower Tent

The amazing new Adventure Kings Instant Ensuite Shower Tent looks like a short 1.1m awning when it’s packed away, but folds out in seconds to form an amazing privacy tent for showering and getting changed! This fits to a roofrack like any other Kings Side Awning with an included fitting kit, but then you’ve got this amazing benefit of a privacy room anywhere you need it – busy campsites, the beach, the kids sports, wherever! It suits just about any kind of vehicle or camper trailer as it only needs 1.1m of roofrack space to fit, dropping straight down underneath the internal fold-out frame when you set it up.

You’re going to love your new Adventure Kings side camping awning – whatever model you choose! They’re all made with ultra-strong, 100% waterproof and UPF50+ rated ripstop material, and have strong alloy frame, poles and knuckles so you know they’ll go the distance. The added bonus is they’re incredibly easy to fit too, requiring nothing more than a 13mm spanner in all cases. Still not quite sure which Kings 4×4 awning is right for you?
