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!

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.

Stonking product. Have the 270 awning and that rear hinge is a BEAST - strong as! So easy to extend and retract and the extending arms provide a huge amount of shelter. Couldn’t be happier

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!!!

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 you

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!

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. 👍

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!

A high-quality 4×4 awning will be the best investment you make for your next trip, whether it’s a 270, a 180, a bathroom or a shower awning.

4WD awnings that are built to last, have massive coverage, and are superior quality

Here’s why our 4WD awnings are different to others

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!
