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?
