Simple awning.

Looking for a awning to set up on my F150 topper for my trip coming up. I have a local lead on a Batwing 270 awning from rhino rack for 400$. Is there anything else I should look into for that price range or just pull the trigger on the batwing? Thankyou.

Overland Journal published an awning article recently. Might be worth looking at. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting what you pay for.

 
Just be sure to stake it down or a big sneeze will turn it into origami. Exaggerating...but do it. They're not designed to be freestanding.

I made one that has been on my CJ now now my TJ for about $20. 1/2" conduit that couples together (4 pieces about 3' long each) and three "sport utility" tarps ($5ea, they are tarp on one side and cloth on the other) in 5x7 size. A few lengths of paracord and 2 9" nails/stakes. You can get away with one tarp but I found a extra one for the ground and a side shade is good to have along. Here are some pics:

PS, some of the best lunches I have had have been under that shade!!
