The Adventure Kings Awning range is one of Australia’s most popular 4×4 Awnings. As much as we originally started selling these awnings to suit 4WD’s stacks of customers have made use of the universal fitment kit included with every awning, and made the Adventure Kings Awning fit a number of different vehicles.

It’s no wonder either the Adventure Kings awnings have to be one of the best value awnings available on the market right now.

For under $100 you can order it online and have yours shipped straight to your front door, there’s multiple sizes that are available to fit nearly any vehicle, and the quality is incredible too!

So here are a few clever things that you can do with your awning that you may not have thought of yet!

Run more than 1 awning!

Considering the purchase price of an Adventure Kings Awning, you can afford to run two or even three for less than the price of one from our competitors. We’re big fans of running an awning down each side of the vehicle. This gives you somewhere sheltered  so you can cook one side to share with your mates when you have the wagons circled  and the last one on the opposite side as a ‘bedroom’ for your tent or swag offering a little more privacy.

There’s nothing like having more than enough adequate shelter, and a set of Kings Awnings are an incredibly cost-effective way to do this.

Fit a Rear Awning

Our 1.4m wide awnings are perfect for running across the rear of your roofrack. If you have a 4×4 or SUV that has a drop-down tailgate, you can easily use the tailgate as a camping table for cooking or preparing meals when you’re at camp.

For extra shelter simply unroll your 1.4m awning above the rear of your vehicle and all of a sudden you’ve got an awesome shelter from sun and rain which will let you cook your tucker protected from the elements!

No more trying to cover the snags with a bit of tin-foil when that unexpected afternoon shower rolls through.

Mount one to your Utes Roll bar

If you love chucking your swag on your ute’s tray when you’re camping, then this one is for you. Mount one of the 1.4m wide awnings across the top of your ute’s rollbar and you’ve now got an instant shade to camp under when the weather turns a bit savage.

Or, if you take your pup to work with you, its easy enough to pull out the awning and they’ll be snoozing in the shade all day while you earn a buck.

Trailer mount your awning
Awnings don’t need to be mounted to a set of roofracks. The mounting system on all Adventure Kings awnings uses standard-sized M6 bolts that slot into tracks on the rear of the awning’s frame. That means you have heaps of options for mounting it wherever you want.

All that is required is a couple of holes an if you’ve got an enclosed trailer for your landscaping business, or to haul your dirt bikes or go-carts around, this is spot on and means you can leave your shade setup without needing to roll it down everytime you need to get some ice or supplies from town!

Mount one above the Barbie! 

You could spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on having a custom fabricator come and design an awning to extend from the side of your shed or to shelter the BBQ, when some clever thinking and an Adventure Kings awning could do the same job.

Let’s say you’ve got a barbie around the side of the shed or against a wall out the back of the house, you can easily mount one of our 2.5m x 2.5m Awnings above it using some wall plugs and M6 bolts.

In an afternoon you can be setup for a chillout session with your mates no matter what the weather.

The best bit, is once you’re done, it simply rolls away and takes up no room, so your lawn doesn’t need paving.

Pair your awning with your mates at camp

This is a beaut little setup, it’s perfect for taking advantage. If both you and your mates have awnings, roll one out and get it set it up. Then simply unroll the other out without unfolding the legs, and whilst you’re holding onto it, get your mate to maneuver his 4×4 into position so the outer rails of the awnings meet up with yours. Peg down the second awning down then use a couple of cable ties or a bit of electrical tape to secure both sets of legs together, and you have a massive under-cover communal living area to hang out under!

Of course there’s a million more ways you can use your awning, but these are some of our favourites to help take your Adventure Kings Awning to the next level!
