I bought the Jeep Gladiator with the idea of turning it into a long range remote expedition vehicle. As part of that process I wanted to incorporate some sort of awning/shelter.
Over the last year or so I have been looking at every option on the market, looking at every video review that I could get my hands on and changed my mind at least half a dozen times!
For me there’s always a balance between cost and quality so with that in mind I ended up buying the OVS 270 Batwing Awning. It took about 6 weeks to arrive at my door in three separate packages. Packing was great and there wasn’t any damage. The steel brackets that attach the awning to my canopy are heavy steel that has been powder coated and all the hardware that I used is stainless steel. They included a bunch of mounting hardware due to the various different ways you may have to mount it.
Here are some pictures of the components and the finished product. It took me about 3 hours to install it by myself and I’m very happy with the amount of shade it puts out.
