We\u2019re big fans of running an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\"><strong>awning<\/strong> <\/a>down each side of the vehicle. When you\u2019re out at camp, you can use one as a \u2018living room\u2019, somewhere sheltered to let you cook and hang out, and the one on the opposite side as a \u2018bedroom\u2019 for your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awning-tents.html\">tent<\/a> <\/strong>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/swags.html\"><strong>swag<\/strong><\/a>. There\u2019s nothing like having heaps of proper shelter, and awnings are an incredibly cost-effective way to do this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>RUN A REAR AWNING:<\/strong> Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings\/1-4-x-2m-kings-rear-4wd-awning-upf-50-waterproof-incl-mounting-kit.html\"><strong>1.4m wide awnings<\/strong><\/a> are perfect for running across the rear of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/roof-racks.html\"><strong>roofrack<\/strong><\/a>. If you have a 4&#215;4 or SUV that has a drop-down tailgate, you probably use the tailgate as a camping table for cooking or storing gear when you\u2019re at camp. Extend your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings\/1-4-x-2m-kings-rear-4wd-awning-upf-50-waterproof-incl-mounting-kit.html\"><strong>1.4m awning<\/strong><\/a> out across the rear of your vehicle and all of a sudden you\u2019ve got shelter from the sun and rain to let you cook your tucker out of the elements! No more trying to cover the snags with a bit of tin-foil when that unexpected afternoon shower rolls through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>MOUNT ONE TO YOUR UTE\u2019S HEADBOARD:<\/strong> If you love chucking your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/swags.html\"><strong>swag<\/strong> <\/a>on your ute\u2019s tray when you\u2019re camping, then this one is for you. Mount one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings\/1-4-x-2m-kings-rear-4wd-awning-upf-50-waterproof-incl-mounting-kit.html\"><strong>1.4m wide awnings<\/strong><\/a> across the top of your ute\u2019s headboard and you\u2019ve got an instant roof to camp under when the weather turns a bit average. Or, if you take your pup to work with you, pull out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\"><strong>awning<\/strong> <\/a>and they\u2019ll be snoozing in the shade all day while you earn a buck.

The mounting system on all<a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\"> Adventure Kings awnings<\/a> uses standard-sized M6 bolts that slot into tracks on the rear of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awning\u2019s<\/a> frame. That means you have heaps of options for mounting it wherever you want, because all you have to do is get appropriately-sized M6 bolts and drill a couple of holes. If you\u2019ve got an enclosed trailer for your landscaping business, or to haul your dirt bikes or go-carts around, this is spot on!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>MOUNT ONE TO THE SIDE OF THE SHED:<\/strong> No joke \u2013 this is a cracking idea. You\u2019d spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on setting up an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awning<\/a> off the side of your shed when an<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">Adventure Kings awning<\/a> <\/strong>would do the same job just as well. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got a barbie around the side of the shed. Mount one of our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings\/2-5-x-2-5m-kings-side-4wd-awning-upf-50-waterproof-incl-mounting-kit.html\">2.5&#215;2.5m awnings<\/a><\/strong> above it, and you\u2019ve got instant shade and shelter for those arvo <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/fridges-coolers.html\">icebox<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>emptying sessions with mates. And then the best bit, is once you\u2019re done, it folds away to next-to-nothing so you can still park a car up the side of the shed!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>PAIR IT UP WITH YOUR MATE\u2019S AWNING AT CAMP:<\/strong> This is a beaut little setup that we love taking advantage of when we\u2019re camping with mates. If both you and your mates have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awnings<\/a>, roll one out and set it up. Then, roll the other out and while you\u2019re holding it, get your mate to move his 4&#215;4 into position so the outer rails of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awnings<\/a> meet up with each other. Peg the second <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awning<\/a> <\/strong>down then use a couple of cable ties or a bit of electrical tape to secure the legs together, and you have a massive under-cover communal area to hang out!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course there\u2019s a million more ways you can use your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4wdsupacentre.com.au\/products\/awnings.html\">awning<\/a><\/strong>, but these are some of our favourites.
