  • RV-5 Plus: Builds on the classic RV-5 by adding a SkyMesh skylight for stargazing, an included fly for extra weather protection, and additional poles to create a peaked awning.
  • RX-5: A game-changer for families and groups! This model features the 30-second frame plus a zip-in second room, creating a massive, fully enclosed living and sleeping area. It’s made from our ModCan fabric for excellent durability and UV protection.

  2. The Ultimate Overland Hub: For vehicle-based adventures. Start with a Foxwing 270° Awning and add Awning Extensions for storm protection. Mount an Apex Roof Top Tent for sleeping and use our Accessory Bags for organised storage.

Final Tips Before You Go

  • Plan for the Elements: Always consider the weather and terrain. Add awning panels and extra ropes for storm-proofing your setup. If the ground is damp or uneven, using a stretcher is a fantastic way to guarantee a dry, comfortable sleep.
  • Prioritise Smart Packing: Look for gear that packs down small. Our tables and cupboards fold flat to save precious space in your vehicle. Choose chairs with features you’ll actually use, whether it’s lumbar support, heated pouches, or built-in pockets.
  • Make Your Vehicle the Hub: A Foxwing 270° Awning is one of the most versatile pieces of gear you can own. It turns any quick stop into a comfortable micro-camp, ready for anything.
