New 270 Awning available.

[shoredreamer]

Nice looking awning dude, congrats. So the *actual* weight is 48lbs, NOT 68 lbs as stated? If so, that's pretty dang cool.

Yeah I don’t know where the 68# came from. I weighed the RLD Ghost 360 today at 49#.53# with the roof rack arms.
My previous Eezi Awn Swift was heavier than I expected at 39#.

Thank you very much for the objective data, I'll update my summary post with your info.
Cheers.

Everyone,

Kindly put the name of your awning associated with the pics you post up as it helps us connect the dots. Otherwise, it becomes a scroll fest to see which awning you are discussing on your post!

I'm looking for a birds eye view of a Batwing and Darche units setup, similar to this unit https://23zero.com/product/peregrine-270-us-drivers/. Trying to determine the coverage at the back of the vehicle and Rhino Rack or Darche's stock pics aren't answering my question.

Thank you!!

Here’s my batwing from behind. Quite a bit more coverage than the 23zero you posted.


Same awning on my old FJ. You can see, NO coverage over the front fender but solid coverage on the rear and side on which it’s mounted.

That's a good one of the Batwing, thank you.

I'm wanting this area covered more than my Batwing, hence looking at the Darche or the NVS and also for the pole free standing feature.

23Zero


OVS



Darche

Off the top of my head, the James Baroud 270 awning has a square back.

The Baroud is pretty nice but I seriously love my OVS awing and it's a lot cheaper than the Baroud or RLD options.

When I went to gamiviti and looked at both a deployed 23Zero and Batwing, they both looked like they had the same coverage to me. I went with the 23Zero, but it was close. Each had advantages

The Darche 270 is 124 square feet and covers most of the area you describe

There’s also the Kinsmen 270 that appears to cover a great deal in the back. Not as much coverage to the front but it apparently is very strong and doesn’t need support poles unless you’re going to have winds over 55 mph, snow loads over 3” or you plan on hanging a hammock from it. Weight appears to be 70 lbs and a price tag of $2,150.

It does have some cons such as the price, the front coverage and not including the support poles it would need to accommodate those unique listed scenarios. Pros are it’s made in the USA with US materials and it’s probably the most sturdy out of all. Just thought it might be included in your list.

Looks nice but other than the price, I would also add to the list of cons being the fact that he says there is a 4 month lead time associated with these orders and that it's now a "side business" for him ... Doesn't give me a great feeling when it comes to support for the product.
