Does anybody do a QD side awning that dosn't need to be bolted to a roof rack? I'd prefer QD and light cos I don't want drag it around everywhere because i can't be arsed to lug it off the roof IYKWIM and i'm trying to be roof rack free if at all possible.
Any thoughts? A man with no boat is a prisoner |

Cheers a little bit of research has found me the foxwing, looks OK if a little pricy but nice all the same.

Take a look at the A1 awning for a more reasonably priced alternative:

We have used the Oztent/Rhino Rack Foxwing for years and it is a great bit of kit
It has 10 metre square of shade and with optional side panels is even better. Yes it is not cheap but used properly is very versatile bit of kit. Out of the Rhino Rack stable is the Sunseeker awning herewhich is just a side awning but of the same quality as the Foxwings. Can be fitted/taken off vehicle quickly and easily. Brendan |

we use a porch awning that leans on the back of the wagon and dosent need a roofrack (although we have one fitted...
there are several types around that will do the job - but here is ours 
its held on by a long 'bungy' that goes over the back of the wagon to hold it in place. Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html Elgar -TDCI(Puma) 110XS Dormobile - now sold Devon & Cornwall 4x4 Response - DC126 |

Cheers I plan to ground tent so I am trying avoid a roof rack.possibly two roof bars and a roof basket or tray to carry the tent.
Hence the question as to whether a fox wing type awning is to heavy ? The alternative is a rear awning |

used tiger seal to fasten alloy caravan rail to defender and got the missis to sew the trim to the awning total cost around £15, it works really well
