Rockarmor’s New Free Standing Awning Range Has Landed

A good awning makes every stop more enjoyable. Whether you’re pulling up for lunch on a bush track, spending the weekend by the beach or settling into camp, having shade beside your vehicle gives you somewhere comfortable to cook, relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Rockarmor’s new free standing awning range is now available at Aussie Offroad, with four models to choose from: the Monsoon 270, 270 Shorty, SIDEX 180 and Next Gen Side Quick. From wraparound shelter to a straightforward side awning, there’s an option to suit different vehicles and camping setups.

Rockarmor Monsoon 270 Awning — Wraparound Coverage for Camp

If you spend plenty of time cooking, relaxing and accessing gear around your vehicle, the Monsoon 270 is a great place to start. Its 270-degree layout provides wraparound shelter, helping turn the space beside and behind your 4WD into a practical outdoor living area.

The Monsoon features waterproof 280gsm polyester cotton canvas, a 1000gsm PVC protective bag and UV50++ protection. Built-in LED lighting keeps the area usable after sunset, while included support legs provide additional support when required.

With a closed size of 225 × 23 × 24cm, it’s worth checking your mounting space when planning your setup. For touring trips and weekends where the vehicle becomes the centre of camp, the Monsoon offers a useful combination of shelter and lighting.

Rockarmor 270 Shorty Awning — A Compact Wraparound Option

Want the convenience of a 270-degree awning in a more compact format? The Rockarmor 270 Shorty gives you another option when planning your vehicle’s shade setup.

Its wraparound layout makes it a practical choice to consider when you want shelter around the side and rear of your vehicle, while built-in lighting helps you continue cooking, organising gear or relaxing once daylight fades.

For drivers comparing awnings for a smaller vehicle or a tub-mounted setup, the Shorty is worth a closer look. Check its current dimensions and mounting requirements against your rack before choosing your fitment.

Rockarmor SIDEX 180 Awning — Shelter Alongside Your Vehicle

The Rockarmor SIDEX 180 offers a 180-degree layout for campers who want their sheltered space focused alongside the vehicle. It’s a practical option for setting up chairs, preparing lunch or creating a comfortable place to unwind at camp.

Like the Monsoon, the SIDEX features waterproof 280gsm polyester cotton canvas, a 1000gsm PVC protective bag, UV50++ protection and built-in LED lighting. Support legs are included, and its closed dimensions are 220 × 21 × 20cm.

If your camp kitchen and seating area sit beside your 4WD, the SIDEX 180 is a model worth considering.

Rockarmor Next Gen Side Quick Awning — A Practical Side Awning

For those who prefer a side awning layout, the Rockarmor Next Gen Side Quick brings free standing convenience to a familiar camping setup.

Its gas-strut-supported design provides another approach to creating shelter beside your vehicle. Think roadside lunch stops, a shaded place for your camp chairs or an outdoor space beside your touring setup.

If you’re comparing a side awning with the broader layouts of the 180 and 270 models, the Next Gen Side Quick is a useful option to explore.

Which Rockarmor Awning Should You Choose?

Start with how you use the space around your vehicle:

• Monsoon 270: Consider it for wraparound shelter and a camp setup that extends around the rear of your 4WD.

• 270 Shorty: Explore it when you want a compact alternative within the 270-degree range.

• SIDEX 180: Consider it when your cooking and seating area sits alongside your vehicle.

• Next Gen Side Quick: Explore it for a side awning layout with gas-strut support.

Before ordering, compare the awning’s dimensions, mounting requirements and suitability for your roof rack or tub rack. When setting up, follow the supplied instructions for support legs and tie-downs to suit the conditions.
