Car Awning

So I bought a Tigerz11 2 x 2.5 awning a few weeks ago and installed it on my landcruiser today.
Great product, why did I not put one of those awning on years ago?

It is awesome working when the ground moves up and down due to hangover.
Maybe I should chase the hair of the dog..

I'd rather another beer than fitting an awning.
Mate they are worth they're weight in gold when camping or stopped for lunch, especially on the beach.
Goodluck with the headache.

An awning is worth its weight in gold mate. I also like the RV shade and Shade Deluxe that are available through BCF.

I bought the RV Shade ($39) because it is easy to adapt to my Volvo sedan. It has plenty of air flow and so long as it isn't a raging storm, it keeps the rain out. Had the RV Shade Deluxe been available when I bought it, I would have most likely bought that one.

That RV shade is great Vince, how large is the area under?
Just $39 too, i will buy one tomorrow.

I think it will be great to extend my awning.
Thanks for the up.

Help.. I think I am sobering up.

Sobering up...NNOOOOOO Laughing

The awning I bought isn't very big, it's really only meant to provide a bit of shade, but as I say, I bought it because it suits my car and it fits off the side OK...it is perfect for my needs. Just a couple of suction cups and tie down cords and it is good. Can fit my wife, myself and one or two children, but it is tight.

Hmmm! Vince, do you have a link for those? My Google search turned up too many to hunt through.

The price seems to be reasonable.

Nearby stores have none in stock, so I end up having one delivered.
It cost $7.95 for postage to me.

Should have given me a yell mate...I would have checked my local store and if he had one, grabbed it and sent it down to you.

Thanks for the thought mate, but I think the postage would end up about the same so all good.

Sent them an email to see if they sell them here in the US.

I hope they do Mike, the postage from here would be horrendously costly.
