Awesome!! Can’t wait to get one 🙌🏼
looks bloody good! i will be ordering one when they come out, it looks like you have used the best ideas from your competitors and made them much cheaper and much lighter. me likey
Que bueno que an vuelto a subir sus geniales videos y cómo siempre sus desarrollos son fantásticos.
Looks like you have got yourself a near future customer. Nice work. Be speaking to you soon.
So Cool - great setup!
Looks great and I want one. How about considering a minor change at the rear for those cars with a tailgate like a Patrol. Maybe rearrange the rear support arm somehow so it doesn't cross diagonally across the top of the tailgate, but follows it in a parallel manner somehow. That would be awesome
Nice set up. 👍
GREAT STUFF. IN YOU RE COUNTRY YOU HAVE THE BEST GEAR.... GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
G DAY MATE ✌️✌️✌️
Looking good. Nice and lightweight freestanding awning. 👍 To make it even better, why not already include an attached folding pole to that rear corner arm (where you attached the pole), and have a pole hole at the ends of the others arms? Plus a minor improvement you should consider is swapping the velcro with zippers for the walls. In my experience, velcros are not as good as zippers when it comes to awning walls.
yep, definetely need zips instead of velcro for the walls
Yeah I’ve found Velcro is great if you manage to align it perfectly the first go but if it’s quite wide, thick quality Velcro like most of the Drifta ones, it can be hard to rip it off and reapply if you don’t get it right the 1st time - especially after a beverage or two 🤪🤣👍
I'm not an engineer, but I *really* like the triangular shape of the arms, it just makes perfect sense. Can they mount on Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars? If so I'm ready to order!
Another *really* brilliant design feature I love, is that Jeep owners who have tailgate tables where they cook, that end of the awning is straight back, not angled, so fully covers!
Looks decent . . . . . Great to have it under 20kg. Been looking at the 30second awning for a while and I think they're a lot stronger and they have a pole included. Bit heavier at 24kg but I think might be the winner due to strength . . . . Zips for the walls is much better I'd say
30 second is awsome.
@@joelfrancis5391 have you got one? Pretty happy with it?
@@4x4touring47 yer had it for 2 yrs now. Its still my favourite mod. Literally not even 30 secs to set up. Zip on tent is mint to. And if the stockton range is guna b $1100 its cheaper by $150.
Any plans to make a shorter 270 awning? There should be a market for all the dual cab owners with canopies due to the limited mounting options on the rear
Nice one 👍🏼
Great product, good price, light, would get one if I didn’t already have awnings on my 4wd 😡😡damn it
I image part of weight saving comes from the fact that it is made out of non canvas material which i support for awning (but not for tents). Question is how durable would the fabric be?
I like it!!!!!!!!
Spot, I will be replacing my Stockton awning with one as soon as I get back to Qld. I’ll be in touch Rob ☺️
If I were Luke, I'd be replacing my horse with something that actually had handlebars. Horses may well be majestic creatures and all that, but they also have a bloody brain of their own to add to the equation. At least when my bike ditched me it was purely just as a result of me...🤣
I will 100% buy one, with walls. If you make them attach via a zipper over Velcro.
The Velcro does not hold up in any wind what so ever in my experience.
Other than that it’s exactly what I’m looking for for my 76
It doesn't look like it has much coverage at the rear. The rear arm that secures against the car appears short.
I'd like to know the square metreage of cover. How far they extend from side and rear of car.
Thanks
Hi Luke, when will these be available to order?
Hi Luke - awning looks great. I have been hoping Drifta would make a free standing 270!! Does it still have the sail track to hang the LED strip light? I really like that light fixture.
doesn't come with sailtrack, but could easily put some on yourself etc.. : ). L
Any info on installing the 270 drifta stockton heavy duty awning I got mine but no instructions at all!!
The BEST! Really!! There is NOTHING on the market like this, quality / price! Ticks all the boxes, I can't believe I just bought a DARCHE which I have to sell it now, this one here is too good, beats mine by far, plus cheapper!!!
It’s a pre production, Dan . Your wankin over it for nothin.
How do you know this beats a Darche on quality? It's pre production 🤷♂️
@@0825Krispy Look at the strong arms! On Darche you HAVE TO put ALL the polls down, if you leave it without, it will 100% crack the aluminium hinge under its own weight. Drifta's floating easily and only requires ONE leg in a storm.
@@jorjimaco5331 Knowing Drifta it'll be out there pretty quick and once in stores it's pretty unbeatable value wise
@@danghita4386 I didn't see a storm in the video? You're making all these big calls and it hasn't even come out yet 🤣
If you could sell them for $800 i reckon it would really shake up the market !. But of your going to sell them for around the $900 i would rather just spend the extra money on a darche one. Just my 2 cents
Why’s that - because it is Darche branded or does it have extra features for the extra $$$ ? Just curious that’s all
The Darche is not a true freestanding awning (setup and pack down only) and has a RRP of $1399. A true free standing awning at $999 is a game changer IMHO. The only real question mark is whether the quality is sufficient to last in Australian conditions. Time will tell.
Bushwakka has a version of this (Chinese made) for around the same price. But that has an attached single folding pole and seems much strong (he showed two kids hanging off the arms), and only weighs 22kgs. I think Bushwakka's is the main competition for this.
@@4WheelingInNSW Mostly extra features man
@@trimat2016 you are right in saying that mate but free standing or not for a extra cost i would rather not be a guinea pig for $900
Great , what is the maximum speed windy can freestanding?
hi mate, not really a rating for wind, as impossible to tell really, and mostly wind 'gusts' , it might blow 20 k an hour from the NE all day but gust double that every now and then : ) but I'd say 20 - 30 km an hour no problem, as long as the back is to the wind .. ie drivers side.. very easy to tie down tho, and don't need a pole, just a rope of two.. : ) L
Can you this one open to the left ie put it on the drivers side of the car
yes, we have drivers side version in stock, and on the cart : ) L
U did yourself no justice by highlighting what you should have done to your awning. Please show the actual retail model
Will it come in a right side model?
Right side model would suit my FJ much better than this one.
@@jimmyrecard8428 Mine too
For anyone considering this awning, It's really not that great, here are the facts nobody is mentioning...
Good for occasional use where quick set-up is more important than actual functionality. It's coverage is quite poor and doesn't offer much shelter compared to that of the rapid wing 4. It doesn't cope well in heavy rain and collects water if you're not pulling the canvas down with heaps of ropes.
Due to it being a free-standing awning, you can't adjust the height to get optimal shade and shelter. It's also 3kgs heavier than the larger rapid wing 4 and is more expensive for something that has less quality canvas and is probably made in china. Considering these disadvantages, I don't see why you would bother. 🤔
The Stockton range is a let down. I’d rather pay more for genuine Drifta, they were a niche brand but now the Stockton range selling everything and going a bit kingsy
what did you buy and dont like it? If you want a Drifta made awning get the rapid wing. It is a great awning made in Australia.
@@Schimmel860 didn’t buy one. Went into the store and inspected their products. The rapid wing is great , I’m merely talking about the Stockton range. I understand they are trying to target a different market with a cheaper price point but with that comes less quality
@@gregdogg10 hi greg, drifts doesn't make the stuff Stockton sells.. we make hundreds of products.. we can't make these things.. so , ?? L
@@DriftaCamping4WD the stuff you make is brilliant and the quality is worth the money eg draws, kitchens. The Stockton gear is nowhere near this quality for me. Seems strange to affiliate it with the drifta name after building such a great rep.
@@gregdogg10 they different products mate.. if we made Stockton drawers, then you could compare that.. but we don't.. drifta is still making the gear drifta has always made.. we created a new company Stockton, to differentiate.. not sure how that's strange .. L
Ill be buying the bushwakka tru blue. Double the price but is aussie made. Fk chinese made garbage. All of these cheap things end up in landfill in years to come.
Aussie made by chinease parts... everything is chinease. Depends on how much the company wants to spend on the chinease parts.
$1000……….for a car umbrella.
I like chicken
