Important Note

A quick setup awning that provides optimal coverage on the side of your vehicle/trailer that can be mounted on either or both Driver and Passenger Side.
Taking the past 2 years of testing our Extreme awnings out in the field, listening to our customer and partner feedback, we took the steps and implemented a number of design changes, upgrades, and added better accessories to our awning range.
The design of the Rogue range is focused on a thicker frame and hinge support system, manufactured from high quality aluminum, powder coated, and supporting a 100% free-standing experience.
Accessories added for you to set up your awning as easy as possible, which includes a number of quick-release guy lines and Screw-in stakes to have it staked down and supported for longer camping setups. Our arms are more robust and easier to deploy and pack away.
A new addition is integrated wiring in the frame with LED light strips built into the arms. Cycle the colors with our touch sensor button on each arm to the desired type, either Amber, White, and now with RED, which is also dimmable by holding in the touch sensor.

Need Help Choosing the Right Mounting Solution?
If your rack system is not listed above, or you are unsure which hardware is required, please contact our team before ordering. A quick photo of your rack system can help us recommend the correct mounting solution for your Rogue Series Awning.
Proper care and maintenance of your Awning (Extreme Range) is essential to ensure its longevity and performance of our products.
To prevent rubbing and damage to the arms and canvas, it is important to properly close and secure the Awning when not in use.
Before closing your Awning, make sure that the canvas is dry and free of any debris. When rolling up the awning, be sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any damage to the canvas.
Regular cleaning and inspection of your Awning will also help extend its lifespan - to prevent surface rust on your brackets, we suggest using a lanolin spray. Additionally, using a canvas re-proofer spray will enhance the waterproofing capabilities of your Awning to ensure that it is ready for your next adventure!
