270 XT Awning Mk2 - The Bush Company

270 XT™ Awning Mk2

The 270 XT™ Awning from the team at 'The Bush Company' sets new benchmarks for a free standing shade awning in terms of overall strength, wind resistance and durability. The awning is 2.3m in length, weighs only 27.8Kg and can easily fixed to most roof racks or heavy duty load bars using our Heavy Duty L Brackets (2 adjustable heavy duty brackets included with the awning) or to our Clamshell Roof Top Tents using the appropriate awning to tent bracket (sold separately). The 270 XT™ Awning provides an incredible 8sqm (86sqft) of shade around your 4WD for you to set up your camp kitchen, swags or just a shaded seating/chill out area. As you can see from the video the awning can easily be set up by one person in about 30 seconds and the pack down is just as simple.

Around the inside edge of the awning is a 50mm thick velcro strip which can be used to attach the optional awning walls enabling you to fully enclose the area to provide protection from the elements or additional privacy.

The awning is available in either a Left Hand Side (passenger side in Australia) or Right Hand Side (driver’s side in Australia) configuration, please select which version you require from the drop down menu below.

Fitting the 270 XT™ Awning

The 270 XT™ Awning frame requires a fitment bracket attached to the stainless steel section no more than 200mm (7 ?/?inch) from the hinged end, there are 2 Heavy Duty L brackets supplied with the awning. The second bracket must be mounted no less than 1.3m (4′ 3″) from the bracket at the hinged end. To mount the awning to one of our rooftop tents you will need an Awning To Tent bracket which are sold separately.

Care and Maintenance

We recommend that new awnings are thoroughly wet down before first use. This will ensure that your awning performs well in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton corespun thread and canvas to swell ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the stitching.
Cleaning Canvas & Bag:
– Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas.
– Do not store the product if wet, allow drying first.
– To clean use a soft brush and cold water.
– Do not expose to petrol, oils or harsh chemicals.
Cleaning mould:
– Allow mould to dry
– Remove surface mould off with stiff bristle brush
– Vacuum the area
– Treat area with Oil of Clove spray (diluted spray can be purchased or can be mixed using a few drops of oil into a spray bottle of water)
