Shelter Max Freestanding Car Awning v2

Ample shade and weather protection anywhere

The Shelter Max Freestanding Car Side Awning presents an expansive coverage spanning 6.25 square meters, assuring ample shade for a truly comfortable camping experience, wherever you choose to set up. Central to our design considerations for this car side awning was the paramount goal of engineering sturdiness that would stand firm against moderate winds and rain, without necessitating the deployment of supporting legs. While extendable legs and tie-downs remain available for added security during adverse weather or high winds, their use is optional, underscoring our commitment to flexibility and ease of use.

Effortlessly opening and closing the car side awning is made simple by the inclusion of two gas struts, which automatically extend the awning arms and secure them in place, eliminating the necessity for tying them down. The seamless 1-minute setup and teardown hold significant importance within any camping scenario, particularly for frequent travelers.

The car awning quickly mounts to any roof rack or roof bars using the included L brackets. These brackets are fully height-adjustable and designed to fit different mounting setups with ease. Thanks to the double rails running the full length of the awning’s back, you get maximum flexibility and compatibility with almost any vehicle.

Utilizing only top-quality materials

Throughout our journey of design and engineering, a central focus revolved around minimizing weight while upholding unwavering structural integrity, enabling the car awning to stand independently, free from the need for supporting legs or tie-downs. This led us to forge the entire framework of the car side awning from high-strength aluminum, complemented by stainless steel components, ensuring the delivery of a product of premium quality, inline with the EDGE Overland standards.

We employ the same top-tier polyurethane-cotton blend canvas found in our rooftop tents, known for its lightweight yet robust properties. Enhanced by an integrated ripstop weave, it boasts exceptional resistance against harsh winds and inclement weather conditions. Additionally, this canvas exhibits impressive water resistance up to 3000mm and provides effective UV protection against sun rays.

The outer cover is constructed from a durable PVC material, sealed tightly with zippers to ensure water-tight protection for the awning during your travels, ensuring both its safety and immediate deployability anywhere.

Effortlessly light up your campsite with integrated LEDs

Embarking on a camping adventure is one experience, yet elevating it to the next level involves having fundamental amenities such as lighting seamlessly integrated into your camping arrangement. The core ethos driving our product line is centered around convenience, which is precisely why we've seamlessly incorporated dimmable LED light bars directly into our freestanding car awning.

The Shelter Max car side awning is equipped with integrated LED light bars seamlessly built into each arm, delivering consistent illumination across your entire camping area. Designed for comfort and versatility, the lighting system offers neutral, warm, and cold tones that are fully dimmable, allowing you to create the perfect ambiance - from bright task lighting to a soft evening glow. Powered via USB 2.0, the LEDs can draw energy from a car socket, external battery, or even the built-in charging ports on EDGE Overland rooftop tents, giving you effortless lighting without the need for additional equipment.

Privacy, sun & weather protection and more

A key advantage of the Shelter Max freestanding car awning is its versatile system that allows sidewalls to be added to any side, giving you total freedom to configure the space as your environment demands. The precision-engineered zipper system makes setup and adjustment seamless, allowing you to quickly add a single wall for targeted wind or sun protection, or fully enclose the awning to create a secure, all-weather shelter.

The sidewalls themselves are designed with integrated windows and doors, each featuring mosquito nets and adjustable covers for both functionality and comfort. This thoughtful design ensures complete privacy when you want it, excellent protection from sun and rain when you need it, and optimal airflow when conditions call for it. With its combination of technical precision and adaptive design, the Shelter Max delivers a versatile outdoor living space that elevates every camping experience.
