Important information:

Euro4x4parts recommends that you carefully check the maximum permissible roof load for your vehicle in its manual.

This is particularly important before fitting a roof tent or a gallery with its load: spare wheel, awning, trunks and other jerry cans.

Note that the maximum roof load is reduced by 25% if you drive off-road: a maximum load of 100 kg becomes 75 kg in off-road use.

How to choose the right awning?

Before choosing an awning:

1- Check that you have suitable equipment on the roof of your vehicle to fix your awning (roof bar or gallery to place the fixing brackets on).

2- Choose the right length. The awning should be approximately the length of your roof. Too long, it will protrude and be a safety problem on the road and will weaken the awning.

3- Also consider the width of your vehicle plus that of your awning once unfolded. Depending on your travels, you may not always be able to find enough space to open your awning. It’s important to find a width that corresponds to your use.

4- The quality of the materials is essential. A quality awning, with a solid and well-finished fabric, and a well thought out and rigid structure will ensure its durability. This will also prevent it from getting damaged at the slightest gust of wind.

5- Do you have a protective cover to store it in when closed? Pay attention to the storage of your awning once folded. A Well-protected awning has an increased life span.

Have a good trip!
