Easy Off-grid Camping With Kings 270 Awning Installation 

Great video! The secret to any good job is preparation and you covered that well. One of these awnings is on my project list for my Colorado in the near future.

Awesome content 👏 Beautiful 👏 thanks for sharing 👍 Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦

I think you are the only Australian youtuber that talks about King products. Good job with the awning. Thanks for breaking this down. It's a bit more work than others make it out to be. But still a diy project. 👍🛠 Next level 💯

Great video

Great video👍 Enjoy your weekend greetings from New Zealand.

awesome Craig, you well fitting it by yourself, great awning for the price

Excellent job mate, I like ur attention to detail, the fit looks perfect & the supporting bar mod looks real sturdy & professional. One YT guy reckons to mix up white spirits & silicone into a slurry & paint all the inside bag seams a day before ur final install to further prevent water ingress as the seams are a suspected area for water ingress. How’s it going now after a few months, any issues? & how well does it handle wind, an updraft wind particularly? As a small breeze bent up my last Kings 270 (with poles) as I was trying to pack it up on the 4th use, so I was pretty annoyed after the effort it took to setup & pack up with buggered shoulders, I have since got the freestanding awning, but haven’t mounted it yet. I’ll have to check out ur other vids. Cheers

Great video, thanks for taking the time to show the install.

Great work fitting it on your own. Though my OH&S alarm bells where ringing off the chart when you were on the step ladder, tippy-toeing on it, and it (step ladder) was slightly wobbling.😲 😁 It's definitely a two-person job. Having said that, I too fitted my Rhino-Rack Batwing on my own. I opened the front & rear doors of my 4WD and used the top window frames as extra hands when lifting it in place. 😁 And I would love a free-standing version but my Batwing is only 5yrs old and still in great condition, that replacing it now would just be a waste of money and gear. But if it wasn't in great condition, I would definitely replace it with a free-standing version. And I know I would be using it more frequently than I do mine now 'coz of the free-standing's ease of setup and pack.

Great coverage, good for the $$$ how do you get in the rtt with it on???

When you make the bolt holes in the cover. You are better off marking them with a paint pen and heating a piece of wire a bit smaller than the bolt to burn the holes through the cover so it sears the holes rather then cutting. Just my opinion.

8:31 Mate, I hope you are wearing an Apple Watch or something because that was so dangerous on that ladder balancing, and standing on it with one leg at one point. OHS would have a field day with you. Certainly appreciate your video on how to assemble the annex. Why didnt you consider mounting it to the tent to stop rain coming down the gap, or you feel that while the tent is up, its window covers are blocking that and giving you more annex space from the car. Did you solve the water issue in the canopy cover, which I saw on another episode? Great video mate, thank you.

Good video, thanks BUT probably only me but the sound stopped at 5.12 and I'm not that good at lip reading. Got the gist of whats needed though, again thanks...

Hey mate, out of curiosity is the part that the fab shop made alloy or steel?

Great idea with the fabricated brackets. That aint going nowhere.

Is this the 2.5m version?

That would of been a big struggle by yourself, did you get any water in after sealing the bolt holes?

А как попадать в палатку на второй этаж? На вечер сворачивать зонт?

Interesting vid mate ,👍 Nice work getting it up there by yourself cos that ain't easy! I think I'd be putting an extra 2 or perhaps 4 bolts along the mid section for strength cos you will need the support in a windy spot. You want more support at the hinge end for good stability with a 270 I installed a frifta 270 about 18months ago and it was a fiddly install but solid as a rock. I had an ally roof rack which needed to be removed for the install but has a lot of support all the way along. All the best with the king's version 👍 A 270 is a total game changer for quick and easy shade 👌😎

Good set up prep for the awning, terrible set up for the steps, accident wanting to happen then you cannot enjoy your awning.
