RHINO-RACK Batwing Compact Awning (Left Side Mount)

The Batwing Compact Awning is packed with all the style and function of the full size 270° Batwing Awning, but at a slightly smaller size and price point. The length of this compact model when packed away on the roof rack is 79" (6' 7") compared to the massive 98" (8' 2") of the full size Batwing Awning. Running a shorter length awning can provide a cleaner looking fit for smaller vehicles, like 2-door Jeep JKs, older FJ cruisers, Subarus, teardrop trailers, etc. And you still get 69 sq ft of easy-to-deploy, wrap-around shade!

Just like the full size awning, The 270 degree Batwing Awning is made from a heavy-duty, water & mold resistant material that has been tested and rated to UPF 50+, and is endorsed by the Australian Cancer Council.

Free shipping is available on all Batwing Awnings!

If you've struggled in the past to set up awnings by yourself in the wind, have a look at the videos of the Batwing Awning set up below, and behold the convenience of integrated legs. All the components pack into the heavy duty rack-mountable PVC bag, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to bring the legs or stakes.
