Keep Camping, Whatever the Weather
If you love the outdoors, you’ll know the best adventures don’t always wait for sunshine. British weather has a habit of throwing in a surprise shower (or three), but that shouldn’t stop your weekend escape. That’s where an awning becomes a game changer – transforming your setup from a fair-weather basecamp into an all-season hideaway.
At Escapade 4x4, we design our equipment for those who go beyond the ordinary. Our 270° Awning gives you the freedom to camp longer, stay dry, and make the most of every trip – from drizzly autumn mornings to damp coastal weekends.
And right now, when you purchase our Horizon roof tent, we’re including a free slide-in C-Rail awning, giving you even more shelter, shade, and space to enjoy your surroundings – whatever the forecast.
Why a 270° Awning Changes Everything
A 270° awning isn’t just a luxury – it’s one of the most practical additions to your overland setup. It wraps around your vehicle to provide nearly full-side coverage, creating a protected living area that’s perfect for cooking, relaxing, or waiting out the weather.
Key benefits include:
-
All-weather protection: The durable, waterproof canvas keeps rain off and shade on. You can unzip it in seconds to create instant shelter.
-
Quick setup: One person can deploy the awning in under a minute. Just unzip, swing out, and lock into place.
-
270° coverage: Extending around the rear and side of your vehicle, it gives you more usable space than a standard straight awning.
-
Versatility: Pair it with side walls or our awning room to turn it into a complete enclosed space – perfect for bad weather or added privacy.
With the 270° awning attached, your basecamp becomes far more than just a sleeping spot. It’s a social space, a kitchen, or even a workshop. When the heavens open, you can carry on making coffee, cooking dinner, or packing gear without getting drenched.
Extend Your Camping Season
A good awning doesn’t just protect you from rain – it extends your camping calendar.
Through spring showers, summer sun, autumn drizzle, and even mild winter getaways, an awning allows you to stay comfortable all year round. By keeping your gear dry and giving you a covered outdoor area, you can enjoy nature longer, pack less stress, and make more of your time outdoors.
Add a diesel heater like our HotBox and you’ve got the ultimate setup for four-season camping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fit the 270° awning to any vehicle?
Yes, and no. Our awning can be mounted to most good-quality roof bars and racks, including Thule and Rhino. Whilst the awning itself only weighs 30kg, you may be limited by its length when on your vehicle (2.3m closed).
Is the 270° awning waterproof?
Absolutely. It’s made from a heavy-duty waterproof canvas with reinforced stitching and UV resistance. The same material used on our roof tents.
Can I use the free C-Rail awning with any tent?
The C-Rail awning is specifically designed for our Horizon tent, sliding neatly into its integrated rail system.
Do I need extra fittings to mount the 270° awning?
We provide all standard mounting brackets. If you’re unsure about your setup, our team can help you find the best fit.
