WE PUT THE OZTRAIL AWNING ON OUR MU-X TO THE TEST WITH A FEW CAMPING TRIPS OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS

UNDER COVER

IF YOU’RE using your 4x4 vehicle for camping adventures, then a pull-out awning is one of the best pieces of kit you can add to it. Mounted to the roof rack or trailer, these awnings provide quick and easy shelter from the sun and rain no matter where you are. They can be a godsend when it comes to beating the conditions.

Vehicle-mounted awnings come in a range of designs and styles, ranging from simple ones that pull straight out from the side of the car, to 180° and 270° units that fan out around the vehicle to give the most amount of coverage.

For the Isuzu MU-X we fitted a 270° BlockOut awning from OZtrail for maximum coverage. The 270° part of the name indicates that the awning fans out to extend not only down the side of the Isuzu but around the back to cover the area under your tailgate.

The BlockOut part of the product name refers to the dark material used that is claimed to block out 95 per cent of light passing through the top of it and reduce temperatures under the awning by up to 10 per cent. Clever stuff.
