Rocky Mountain's Rainwick awning line now covers every camp setup, from a simple side awning for your rooftop tent to a wraparound 270° awning around your vehicle. Choose the Side Awning for quick cover beside your tent. Choose the new 180° for wide side coverage at a lower price. Choose the 270° or the new 270° MAX for full wraparound shade, and add walls when you want privacy and wind protection.
With two new sizes in, the lineup has more options than ever, so here's how each Rocky Mountain awning compares, what it costs, and which one suits your rig. Prices are in CAD as listed at the time of writing.

- Shower Tent ($299): A private shelter for showering, changing or a portable toilet, about 3.5 ft × 3.5 ft × 7.5 ft and 20 lbs. It mounts to most roof rack setups.
