Alu-Cab 270 Degree Awning for Icarus

The Alu-Cab 270° Shadow Awning is stronger, lighter and easier-to-handle than all other awnings on the market. It is designed by Alu-Cab to be setup and broken down quickly and easily. The awning is approximately 10m², covers the side and rear of the vehicle, and protects against sun and rain. It is 2.6m long and weighs about 27kg.

To open the 270° Awning, simply unzip the transport sleeve. The awning is then pulled around the vehicle, and tied to a mount in the rear. To give the fabric more tension, which allows rain to drain easily, a short supporting rod is folded up in the middle of the arm. With a little practice, assembly and disassembly take less than a minute.

The Alu-Cab 270° Awning does not normally need contact with the ground. In strong winds, the awning can be attached to the ground by the supporting arm and then pulled tight. Tent pegs are in their own bag which can be found fixed to the transport bag.

In order to stow the awning away, fold down the centre support rod. The holding strap has to be released at the rear of the vehicle, and the awning should be folded up. The cloth is then rolled, lined with the velcro straps on the frame, and the transport sleeve needs to be zipped up.
