    Considering getting a batwing awning. What are the options? Any better than the rest of them? Who makes the largest one? What do you like about yours? Now that you have one what features of another brand do you wish yours had? Thanks!

    I wish it was lighter, that's about it. 60-70lbs is alot to strap up high on a vehicle

    Snagged a OVS 270 LT for $600 after tax and shipped on Amazon… Love it so far. Kinda wished I got the bigger one, but it’s $850 before tax

    Alucab Shadow Awning is really the best option.

    Cons for someone without an AluCab Canopy Camper: Mounting it. It's heavy. Not an issue when strapped to the ACCC though.

    Cons for everyone: It is expensive. Quite pricey.

    Pros: Everything else. Fully cantilevered, deployment is ridiculously easy, stable in everything except for strong winds, and stowing it is not hard either. The bag that contains it isn't a super tight fit.

    Can't find a deployed picture at the moment, but the internet is full of them.

    I went to campsaver.com and signed up for their newsletter which gave me 20% on my order. Saved me a ton on the OVS.

    I have this one and love it. And with 25% off right now, $675 is a pretty good price.
