Meet the Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning

If you're looking for an awning that sets up in seconds, holds its own in bad weather, and legitimately keeps you cool on hot days, the Alu-Cab 270° Shadow Awning is by far one of the best awnings on the market. 

We run the Alu-Cab 270° Shadow awning on all of our adventure vehicles with their multiple options in size and opening direction, and it’s been one of those pieces of gear that reminds you how good a decision you made to add such a useful piece of gear to your truck. No poles needed unless it gets really windy, and even then, deploy the support pole and guy wires, and you're good to go. The coverage is massive, wraps around the side and rear of your vehicle, and gives you instant shade or shelter wherever you are. Plenty of room to relax, prep food, or get gear organized at camp. 

The build quality is what you’d expect from Alu-Cab, overbuilt in the best way. The heavy-duty aluminum frame is sturdy without being bulky, and the ripstop canvas material is reflective, keeping the temperature underneath significantly cooler for hot summer days. It holds up great against rain, sun, and dust, and cleans up easily with a hose. Plus, the awning takes up no space on load bars, when paired with the Alu-Cab 3R tent. If you're running a ModCAP or Canopy Camper/Cabin, we highly recommend adding the optional Shadow Awning Gutter as well to bridge the gap for full coverage! 

Whether you're at camp for the weekend or just want to pop it open while getting ready for a mountain bike ride, it’s one of those can't live without products for someone who spends time outdoors. Rugged, reliable, and incredibly easy to use, the Alu-Cab 270 Shadow Awning is one of those pieces of gear that feels essential the moment you start using it.
