We can’t speak highly enough about Destination4WD! We received our awning and shower tent fairly quickly. When we went to install it we realised our bracket were not compatible as we had a roof conversation and no roof rack. After sending an after hours message on Messenger we were surprised at how quickly they responded, giving us detailed directions including photos on how to install the products with our bracket. Great professional service that you don’t see every day. Oh and the product it’s self is extremely good quality. There are two very happy camper that are looking forward to testing this product in the bush!Posted on Google![]()

I’ve had the D270 now for 3 years and pushed to its limit in windy and wet weather, i’ve pushed through bush and rainforest and it never missed the beat, the bag got some battle scars but the awning still works a treat. The bin bag is the same and it also give you a nice bag to carry stuff when you go fishing or yabbie hunting. Thanks Rafa for this amazing gear. Can’t recommend it enough.Posted on Google![]()

Amazing company to deal with. Dropped in and spoke to Rafa, the most genuine guy you’ll meet, with an overwhelming passion for Australia and the great outdoors. His product quality is second to none and all made in his workshop, in Cairns, with all Australian made products! We don’t see this anymore. Get in and support Destination 4WD, local, knowledgeable, true blue Aussies!!!Posted on Google![]()

Purchased the awning for our Canning Stock Route trip, great OZ product, Easy to set up and pack, great quality and extremely great service from Rafa, the bag is extremely strong with no damages after some very heavy overgrown sections. Also purchased an awning organiser and very happy with nit too. Thank youPosted on Google![]()

We purchased a D270 awning over 3 years ago after seeing them in person at the Brisbane 4wd show. We went to the show so I could compare the awnings in person After Rafa's friendly customer service and seeing him do pull ups on the awning arms I was sold on getting one. I would happily buy one again as the quality is second to none and the way water runs off the awning in heavy rain makes it better than most on the market. We have awning number 99. Definitely will be a returning customer!Posted on Google![]()

I have owned a few awnings and the Destination4WD 270 is by far the best. Australian made, extremely durable, looks great and provides the most shelter with square ends providing perfect cover. The quality is outstanding. You definitely get what you pay. Size medium. 👍Posted on Google![]()

Destination4wd productions are the best on the market! I purchased the 270 awning and the shower enclosure. You can tell that a lot of effort and craftsmanship has gone into developing and manufacturing these products. Super strong and durable, perfect for the harsh Aussie conditions. The awning is one of the biggest, yet one of the lightest on the market. A major selling point was the little peak on top, to help rain water run straight off. Looking forward to seeing more of these great products from Destination4WD!

4WD awnings that are built to last, have massive coverage, and are superior quality
Here’s why our 4WD awnings are different to others
- Short in length when closed at 2.2m.
- Extendable arms to make the awnings larger and give more shade when open.
- Strategically reinforced for extra strength.
- High-grade canvas that's UV and water-resistant, and Australian made for our harsh conditions.
- Reinforced, stainless steel brackets that secure the awning to most roof racks.
- Sleek with black powder-coating.
- Lightweight at 23kg.
- Add optional Hardcorr strip lights.
Torrential rain, no issues.
We are the lucky owners of build No.16 and highly recommend the D270. We also included a couple of walls in our purchase. Fast to set up and take down, it’s tough and priced well given its sturdiness compared to most others on the market. Thanks Rafa, we’ve had it up in torrential FNQ storms and in wind with no issues. Going brilliantly.

NO ORDINARY
Garbage Bag
The Destination4WD 42L garbage bag is no ordinary rubbish bag … It’s a new take on a garbage bag that’s easy to use and where the zippers won’t get full of dust BUT is complete with unique saddle bags that clip on to to the top of the bag for dirty clothes, recycling, wet towels, recovery gear, or fire wood. It’s so much more than a rubbish bag!


MASSIVE SIZE
Bathroom Tent shower awning
The Destination4WD shower tent awning (aka The Bathroom Tent) is one of kind and the first trapezoid-shaped shower awning on the market.
It’s massive shape means you can easily fit two or more people inside and have enough room that you don’t touch the sides!
It’s 1.1m on your car and 1.8m wide when open.
There’s that much room!

Destination4WD awning FAQs
Are Destination4WD awnings made in Australia?
Yes – our awnings are 100% Australian Made using locally sourced canvas and components. Every unit is designed and built in Cairns, Far North Queensland.
What’s the best awning for full 4WD coverage?
The D270 freestanding awning delivers up to 270 degrees of wraparound shade (12.4 sqm) – ideal for full rear and side protection on your 4WD, ute, canopy, or camper.
What’s the best side awning for 4WDs and utes?
The D180 freestanding awning offers 12 sqm of side coverage, perfect for kitchens, camp setups, or roadside stops.
Are your awnings really freestanding with no poles?
Yes – both the D270 and D180 are engineered to be freestanding in calm to moderate wind (up to 25 km/h). Poles are optional and included for backup.
How much do Destination4WD awnings weigh?
Just 23kg. That makes them among the lightest freestanding 270-degree awnings available in Australia.
Do I need a specific roof rack to fit your awning?
No, our universal stainless steel mounting brackets work with most roof racks, canopies, and roof platforms.
Can I use the awning in windy conditions?
Yes, just make sure to use the included tie-downs or optional poles for extra stability. If you’re sleeping or leaving your setup unattended, we recommend tying down the far open corner to protect against sudden wind gusts, especially in coastal, alpine, or desert conditions. If it is really windy, we recommend tying the awning down from each of its three corners.
Can I add walls or other awning accessories?
Absolutely, you can add awning walls, mesh windows to the walls, corner walls, sun caps to expand and enclose your setup.
Is setup really that fast?
Yes! With our Zip–Rip–Click system, setup takes under 60 seconds. Unzip the bag, rip down the velcro straps, and click the extendable arms into place.
What’s the warranty on Destination4WD awnings?
