Just like a good old Aussie BBQ needs icy cold beers and good music, and a scorching hot summer day needs either air con or a kiddie pool to survive through, if you’ve got a 4WD, you definitely need an Adventure Kings Awning.

I’ve been road-tripping and camping around Oz for close to 30 years and heading away on 4WD trips for the last 10 of those. From my experience it has only been during the last couple of years 4WD Awnings have advanced and changed the way me and my mates head bush.

Most of us upgraded from spending the better part of an hour (and sometimes more) yelling at each other whilst trying to jerry rig tarps up with mismatched poles and half as many ropes as we need, to rolling into camp, unfolding the Adventure Kings Awnings, rolling out the Adventure Kings Swags, and sitting round the campfire with a cold beer in hand, all inside half an hour.

All the Adventure Kings awnings have anodised aluminium poles that are permanently attached to the frame, as are the guy ropes and 170gsm ripstop fabric, so you’ll never leave anything important at home again, or be searching in the dark for that last crucial bits and pieces.

The telescopic legs make it extremely easy to adjust the height of your Adventure Kings Awning in a couple of seconds, and allow you to set up your awning to be lower on one side, preventing pools of water from weighing the setup down. Gone are the days of using a broom handle to push heavy puddles off the top of your tarp.

The Adventure Kings Awnings are so easy to set up, I’ve even seen Shauno from 4WD Action set his Awning up in less than 2 minutes, while blindfolded, and he didn’t even mess it up!

The UPF50+ rated ripstop reinforced polyester makes for a great sunshade when you stop for lunch, and being so quick to set up, you won’t hesitate to roll it out as soon as possible whenever you might need it.

If you’ve got a few 4WDs in your convoy, and they’ve all got Adventure Kings Awnings, you can circle the wagons so everyone’s awnings are facing in, and combine awning shelter to have a massive shaded area big enough to easily fit a handful of families + more people!

Adventure Kings Awnings also excel whenever the weather turns bad and you need somewhere dry and sheltered to hide out from the rain.

The 170gsm ripstop polyester Adventure Kings Awning is fully waterproof – just set it up with a tilt to one corner, and the rain will run straight off, leaving you with a dry comfortable area large enough for a table and a couple of chairs or even your swag overnight.

You can add nearly double the sheltered space with an Adventure Kings Awning wall which provides plenty of sheltered storage and a great place to set up larger swags like the Adventure Kings Big Daddy whilst still keeping your usable awning space habitable, if the weather is really bad, you can even add a second or third Adventure Kings Awning wall to nearly triple your covered area.

The cast aluminium alloy knuckles found at the pivot points on an Adventure Kings awning are super tough and can survive really strong winds and heavy rains, where the lighter-weight plastic knuckles many other far more expensive brands use can fail without warning.

Available in 4 sizes; 2×2.5m, 2.5×2.5m, 2.5x3m, and the smaller 1.4x2m designed to fit over the back door of your rig, you can easily find an Adventure Kings Awning to suit your 4WD, station wagon, van or even sedans!

The versatility of sizes allows more people to get the most out of your campsite and enjoy the spending time in the Aussie elements, worry free, knowing you have shade and shelter to protect you.

Adventure Kings Awnings are supplied with everything you need to fit them to the roof-racks of your vehicle, and can be installed in under an hour with just a couple of simple tools.

So what are you waiting for? Grab an Adventure Kings 4WD Awning for your vehicles and get out camping and exploring this great country more!
