The 270 XT MAX Mk2 is designed for fast solo setup thanks to it truss arm system. Its pole-free architecture allows you to deploy the awning in less than a minute without needing ground supports in mild conditions. This freestanding capability is essential for remote touring, uneven terrain, or quick roadside stops, offering both efficiency and stability for mobile campsites.

This heavy-duty design withstands wind gusts up to 50 km/h when pegged and guyed correctly. Combined with the 315gsm polycotton ripstop canvas, the awning resists UV damage and wet-weather wear, making it ideal for prolonged exposure in outback, coastal, or alpine conditions.

12m² of Wraparound Shade Coverage

With a full 270° reach and 12 square metres of coverage, the awning shelters rooftop tents, camp kitchens, and vehicle workspaces with ease. Whether used for shade, rain protection, or gear storage, its extended footprint provides the functionality and comfort required for extended expeditions and off-grid travel.

Modular Wall Integration with Secure Velcro System

A 50mm internal Velcro loop strip allows for seamless connection of optional canvas or mesh wall kits, enabling full enclosure setups for privacy and additional shelter. The modularity of the system supports multiple configurations—build shaded side rooms, create windbreaks, or fully enclose your awning for complete all-weather protection.

Supplied with three heavy-duty adjustable L-brackets, the awning mounts easily to most roof racks or load bars. A minimum of 1.9m spacing between mounts is required for secure installation. The 2.3m packed length fits standard roof profiles without overhang, while optional brackets support direct integration with Bush Company rooftop tents for a streamlined overlanding setup.
