Description
270 XT MAX Awning Mk2 | Freestanding 4WD Awning with 270° Coverage
The 270 XT MAX Awning Mk2 by The Bush Company is a premium freestanding awning engineered for serious off-road travellers and overlanders. Built to withstand extreme Australian conditions, this awning delivers 270 degrees of uninterrupted shade with no upright poles required during mild setups. Reinforced with B-Tech™ Alloy construction, it offers rapid deployment, outstanding wind resistance, and seamless modular compatibility with Bush Company tents and wall kits.
Rapid Freestanding Deployment in Under 60 Seconds
The 270 XT MAX Mk2 is designed for fast solo setup thanks to its robust truss arm system. Its pole-free architecture allows you to deploy the awning in less than a minute without needing ground supports in mild conditions. This freestanding capability is essential for remote touring, uneven terrain, or quick roadside stops, offering both efficiency and stability for mobile campsites.
B-Tech™ Alloy Frame with Military-Grade Durability
The frame incorporates B-Tech™ Alloy arms and stainless steel hinges, delivering superior torsional strength and corrosion resistance. This heavy-duty design withstands wind gusts up to 50 km/h when pegged and guyed correctly. Combined with the polycotton ripstop canvas, the awning resists UV damage and wet-weather wear, making it ideal for prolonged exposure in outback, coastal, or alpine conditions.
Wraparound Shade Coverage
With a full 270° reach, the awning shelters rooftop tents, camp kitchens, and vehicle workspaces with ease. Whether used for shade, rain protection, or gear storage, its extended footprint provides the functionality and comfort required for extended expeditions and off-grid travel.
Modular Wall Integration with Secure Velcro System
A 50mm internal Velcro loop strip allows for seamless connection of optional canvas or mesh wall kits, enabling full enclosure setups for privacy and additional shelter. The modularity of the system supports multiple configurations—build shaded side rooms, create windbreaks, or fully enclose your awning for complete all-weather protection.
Roof Rack Compatibility and Mounting Flexibility
Supplied with three heavy-duty adjustable L-brackets, the awning mounts easily to most roof racks or load bars. The packed length fits standard roof profiles without overhang, while optional brackets support direct integration with Bush Company rooftop tents for a streamlined overlanding setup.
Built for Overlanding and Harsh Touring Conditions
From tropical humidity to red dust and high winds, every component of the 270 XT MAX Mk2 is engineered to thrive in Australia’s harshest environments. Whether you're travelling full-time or heading into remote territory, this awning provides the reliability and performance demanded by serious 4WD explorers.
Usage Guidance and Recommendations
- It is recommended that the front and rear non-trussed arms are secured using the included guy ropes and pegs to prevent excessive upward movement in all weather conditions.
- Use guy ropes attached to 1-tonne webbing straps between the awning arms to manage water runoff and prevent pooling in heavy rain.
- Avoid leaving up during snowfall to prevent canvas stretching.
