5' 270 awning - Do any exist

[timo]

I've been looking for a 270 freestanding awning that is 5' long, and have yet to find one offered on the market.
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that is offering one that is about 5' long?
I have a Rebel half rack, so the closed awning can not hang over the roof of the Gladiator, nor positioned off to the side to block the rear door. I also don't want it hanging past the end of the jeep from an aesthetics perspective.
I have attached a picture for reference of mounting on the drivers side, on top of the Rebel rack once the RTT is shifted a few inches to the passenger side.
Thanks in advance for your leads/advice.

Saw this guy made one… seems pretty straight forward. Might make one after getting my rack. Would be easy to make 5’.

Overland vehicle systems/Normadic make a regular 4.5 foot awning. Maybe shoot them an email and see about having one made. I’d be in for one, they could probably sell a good bit of them to the Gladiator & Taco folks.

So it will basically sit in a little nook behind your rear window? Is it going to hang off the side of the body at all? If not, how is it going to open toward the front of the JT - seems like it would hit the C-pillar before fully opening.

I have some thoughts for how this could work. I have an OVS 270 LT arriving tomorrow, and I’m having custom brackets made to mount it exactly where I want, without interfering with anything else. Not exactly the problem you have, but I think the same solution would work. PM me if you’d like to discuss further.

Saw someone who had a lift mechanism on theirs so they could do a full awning. It raised it up above the rack.

Now something to think on about Mr. Remington's 270° design is maybe adding a support arm on front side of it then it could be a square corner.
FYI:
He's done a bunch of great stuff, I started to build the single awning following loosely his, but I got a email offer on one cheaper and tan in color shipped for under $100°° I couldn't finish mine for that. I'll finish the one I started just to use with my Scamp T.T. if nothing else it might become a 270° one.

Awnings are awesome, I use mine all the time. I have a Go Fast Camper and as a admitted weight weenie I purchased a Shady Boy awning, small light package but decent coverage. I love it, have it mounted on the passenger side of the camper. Decided I wanted another awning off the back and looked again at Shady Boy but WOW! They increased about $300 since I got mine. I picked up a Moon Shade awning for the back instead, again small light package and ok coverage. So I don't have the cool 270 coverage or fast and easy swing open setup, I'm fine with what I have. The Shady Boy is hard mounted, the Moon Shade I use off the back is not mounted and can be setup basically anywhere you want. I'm probably 25 lbs for both. This setup is working good for me, it obviously is going to take more time and effort to setup and take down then a swing out 270 awning so you have to pick your poison.

There’s an Australian company called CAOS that makes a 1.8 meter 270 awning (Nomad Bub). I’ve just mounted one today on my Rhino Rack to give a bit of shade at the side and over the tub when at the beach or camping. A mate has one mounted on his Rebel bed rack. Nice bit of kit, but shipping to the US would probably be killer.

Bingo, that is nice! Just what OP is looking for.

That is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you. I’ll look into it and what the shipping costs would be. How do you like it after mounting it and seeing it in person?

Thank you to everyone else who have responded to my original post. It’s given me some new ideas.

Let us know what the $ is, I would be interested in one also, maybe some kind of group buy discount?

Custom mount is finished. It worked great to fix the clearance issues and make it super strong. Some of the pictures are in progress pictures while finalizing the riser mount design.

timo, I also am looking for an awning like this. Did you buy one? Just curious how much shipping was as well. Thanks!

Those look awesome.
