Transform your vehicle into the heart of your campsite! The Oztent Foxwing 270° Awning is one of the most game-changing pieces of gear you can add to your touring setup. It’s more than just a bit of shade; it’s an instant living space, a weatherproof kitchen, and a comfortable social hub that sets up in seconds.
Welcome to your Foxwing Masterclass! We’re here to show you how to get the most out of this incredible awning. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right mount and using extensions to designing awesome campsite layouts that will make you the envy of every other camper. Let’s get you set up for your next adventure!
What makes the Foxwing 270° Awning so special? It’s all about massive coverage and effortless operation. With one simple, single-person movement, the awning swings out to create an incredible 11 square metres of shelter that wraps around the side and rear of your vehicle.
But it’s not just big; it’s built tough for serious adventures. The fabric is a high-quality, ripstop polyester that is not only waterproof but also UPF50+ rated, giving you and your family serious protection from the sun and rain. Plus, it’s CPAI-84 fire retardant for extra peace of mind around the campsite. All poles, pegs, and ropes are included and stored neatly in the bag, so you’re ready to go anytime.
The first step to unlocking the Foxwing’s potential is mounting it securely to your vehicle. A solid fitment is key to safe travels and a fast setup when you arrive at your destination.
Our specially designed Oztent Foxwing Brackets are engineered to provide a rock-solid connection between the awning and most popular roof rack systems. They are built from heavy-duty steel and finished with a rust-resistant black powder coating, ensuring they can handle the toughest conditions.
When choosing your awning, you’ll need to decide between a left-hand (driver-side) or right-hand (passenger-side) model. Think about your vehicle and how you typically use the space around it. Do you access your boot more from one side? Do you have a rooftop tent that opens a certain way? Planning this orientation is key to creating a functional and flowing campsite layout.
The Foxwing 270° Awning is amazing on its own, but adding extensions takes it to a whole new level of versatility. These zip-on panels allow you to create walls, windbreaks, and even fully enclosed spaces, giving you the ultimate all-weather shelter.
The Awning Extension Panels are sold in sets of two and can be zipped together to create one massive wall. Use a single panel to block the wind or low-angle sun. Zip two or more together to create a huge, private, and weatherproof area perfect for dining, socialising, or just staying dry when a storm rolls in. You can even use them with additional poles (sold separately) to extend your shaded footprint even further.
| Add-On | Function | Best Use |
| Extensions | Provides extra shade and weatherproofing. | Fantastic for windy days, rain, or extra privacy. |
| Brackets | Ensures a secure and reliable mount. | Essential for fitting the awning to your roof rack. |
| LED Toggles | Delivers practical task lighting. | Perfect for cooking or setting up after dark. |
Here’s where the fun really begins! With the Foxwing as your centrepiece, you can design some truly epic campsite layouts.
For overlanders and touring enthusiasts, this is a classic setup. Mount a left-hand Foxwing on the driver’s side of your vehicle. This leaves the passenger side free for your rooftop tent ladder or main entry. The area under the awning becomes your kitchen and living space. You can set up a table for meal prep right next to your vehicle’s drawer system, creating a super-efficient workflow. The rear of the awning provides shade over your boot, so you can grab gear without getting scorched by the sun.
Combine the Foxwing with an Oztent RX-5 for the ultimate family basecamp. Position your vehicle so the Foxwing’s coverage area creates a sheltered “verandah” right outside your tent’s main door. This setup seamlessly connects your vehicle, your shade structure, and your sleeping quarters. It creates a massive, protected communal space where the family can cook, eat, and relax together, sheltered from the sun and rain. Add a few King Goanna Chairs, and you’re set for the week!
Travelling with friends? The Foxwing is perfect for creating a shared social space. Park two vehicles boot-to-boot or side-by-side, and deploy one or two Foxwing awnings to create a huge, shaded zone in between. This central area becomes the perfect spot for group dinners, evening chats, and planning the next day’s adventure. It’s an awesome way to link two setups and build a sense of community at the campsite.
The Oztent Foxwing 270° Awning is more than a product – it’s an investment in better, more comfortable adventures. It gives you the freedom to pull over anywhere and create an instant, comfortable camp in minutes. So, get ready to explore with confidence and make your vehicle the ultimate hub for every trip!
