270 awning Supapeg Rapid Wing Delux 6 on my Signature Delux ll Camper Trailer | Review [2021]

[@AlloffroadAu]

How important is a awning for you and how often do you use it?

[@SwampySi]

Not important enough to spend over a grand on one :)

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@SwampySi lol would disagree there especially with a Camper Trailer, shade and shelter is everything to make camping comfortable in Australia

[@J-P88]

If its on my 4wd, it has to be quick and easy to put on and take off, as the 4wd is a Daily, so ive spent extra on the Quick release Brackets. A Must have an Awning especially in Winter and when doing Beach trips

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes definitely I have the Smart Touring System quick release brackets now for a few years

[@AngryTurds]

Ooh, I been researching these and darche etc to see how well built and adaptable they are. Thanks Stefan.

[@1964wingman]

I just bought a Rapid wing 6 Deluxe are much researching. The quality of the awning is what swayed me to buy it. Not a expert in these things but I'm happy with it. Haven't used it as such, being in Victoria and still in lock down the only place it could try it out was the local footy field at the end of my street, got some practice opening and closing it. No buyers regrets, very happy.

[@AlloffroadAu]

I used them for a while now and it's a good honest Australian made product I also have no regret.

[@konradmoskal4138]

We have a supa peg rapid wing which is rebranded as a drifta rapid wing. We love it. We just got of two weeks on Fraser and compared to friends 180 it was comparable in speed to setup, the shade was far better than the cheaper poly-canvas blends in the cheaper awnings and also the coverage. We had a big thunderstorm hit us at Eli Creek everyone was under our awning. I really like the additional guy rope points between poles.

[@peterbronxsidetrack1238]

Great review. I have been searching for some time, have seen and mulled over many, and landed on supapeg. I have been torn between the rapid 6, and shield 6, with country of manufacture, weight v robustness, and $$$ being some concerns my biggies. I have been in contact with supapeg,(and tentworld) they have been very open and helpful. But, now, & thanking you for your review, I have settled on the rapid 6, Yep, liked and subscribed, cheers, Peter, [Sidetrack].

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks mate I’m lying under my rapid 6 as I text and enjoy a cat nap 💤

[@eastcoastexplorers4x415]

Another great video, I have the 270 RAPID WING AWNING on my Patrol, Love it. I use oztent guy ropes when I set it up so I can adjust the poles when needed. I'm looking at getting the square back awning from them for my trailer

[@AlloffroadAu]

Right on, good idea should also still have some Foxwing guy ropes lying around.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Looks great mate! Super high quality

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrGgraham76]

is it useful for a short roadside style stops? i.e do you need to put pegs into ground even for a short stop?

[@AlloffroadAu]

I think size wise it's a overkill for a short road side stop, any pole awning you should peg down somehow while it would be fine without if there is no wind.

[@R00RAL]

Great review, thank you for producing it.

[@AlloffroadAu]

My pleasure!

[@boxheadmr]

Have you done a review on the trailer yet?

[@AlloffroadAu]

no that will be a while but working on a walk trough and initial impressions.

[@boxheadmr]

That would be good. Suspension setup would be nice to see and get initial thought on.

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Great video, your video is very well presented and very informative. I am getting this awning as well with my build. Do you need to waterproof the canvas with water like you do with other canvases? Can you recommend a brand of solar panels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Thank you in advance

[@AlloffroadAu]

I didn't and had no issue..

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

@@AlloffroadAu thank you for your reply

[@colleen9038]

This is great! I try and buy Aussie made and manufactured where I can too. Aussie canvas is the best.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Wonderful!

[@placestosea]

I love their pegs, particularly the short thick ones for hard ground. how do you dry out the awnings that are permanently on your vehicles? when you park up and the canvas is still wet?

[@AlloffroadAu]

If I pack in wet I put awning back up first opportunity to dry out.

[@placestosea]

@@AlloffroadAu how long do you think the canvas would go ( before its damaged with mould etc) if you don't dry it out, if the vehicle is a daily driver

[@AlloffroadAu]

@@placestosea after it was property soaked? I would dry it within 24-48h, though the Canvas has an anti-mould treatment. I also recommend quick disconnects allows you to take awning quickly on and off if you don't use it.

[@davidgullick3933]

I’ve got a Drifta branded superpeg 270. Has been packed up wet several times. I’ll leave the cover unzipped for a few days of sun and then close again. Never seen any sign of mould on it in 3 1/2yrs.

[@placestosea]

@@davidgullick3933 That's good news David, the canvas is good quality.

[@louiskudlak2241]

Looks great 👍👍👍

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks 👍

[@SteveBurns80]

Have had mine for 3years, great awnings apart from the stupid plastic guy rope buckles... And the fact they they leak water through the hinge and then along the ridge poles onto your head? Spoke to Supapeg and they say it's impossible to seal this area on the wraparound awnings? Not sure I believe them.

[@AlloffroadAu]

guy rope buckles for the webbing straps? I don't mind them want more of the webbings. I havent had the 270° in heavy rain yet will need to see, the Supapeg 2.5m x 2.5m never had a issue with leaking

[@SteveBurns80]

@@AlloffroadAu Yes, I found the buckles on the webbing straps are not great long term, have since swapped them out for the oztent guyropes. They only leak water on their wrap around awnings, because of the hinge point, not a big deal but can be very annoying.

[@AlloffroadAu]

hm can’t see how mine would leak but I guess I will find out. i usually use the extended flap for rear though so that covers that area.

[@ralfheitmann1654]

Brilliant vid ! Does SupaPeg export to Europe / US ??

[@AlloffroadAu]

I'm not sure to be honest, send them an email.

[@Maxtrialsuk]

No, they told me to give them my address for a quote then ignored me after sending them multiple e mails.

[@MrGgraham76]

looks like good setup for longer stays, as opposed to shorter ones?

[@AlloffroadAu]

not really could set up awning in 10 mins and pack down in the same time if I only use pole pegs.

[@jasontan822]

I'm short listing between Rapid 4 and Rapid 6 for 2 of us, installing on Jeep Wrangler 4 door. Any opinion, or advice? :)

[@AlloffroadAu]

6 is big and takes a little more effort to pack in but gives you great space, for a Jeep I probably would go with a 4. The 6 will cover the full front door though if that's important for you then better go with a 6.

[@jasontan822]

@@AlloffroadAu thanks for your advice. Just ordered Rapid 4, hopefully is good enough to cover my double swag which is 1400mm width. Looking forward!

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

I ordered a paid for a 180 degree from supa peg. Wanted extra. Found there webpage faulty. The admin just cancelled my order after she became rude. Talk to the director. Were he knew his webpage was faulty. So he was going to fix his webpage and nothing for me. Not even fixing the order.

[@AlloffroadAu]

can't really comment never had that experience, but I think they made some changes in regards to their staff not long ago I haven't managed to get a reply to any of my emails to them.

[@marka6591]

Foxwing for me…not sponsored and like most blokes, make whatever we have work wherever we are.

[@AlloffroadAu]

that's fine mate could also make a tarp work if that's the case

[@christurner68]

Again great support for Australian products, shame the camper trailer is Chinese made thought🤔

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes, the frame is, but still created Australian Job's as the assembly and fit-out is done in Australia. Unfortunately, no Australian made trailer in this class with anywhere near the price. Could not justify 60k for a Patriot for the few times I use it per year.

[@christurner68]

@@AlloffroadAu would buy a patriot either not just because of the price, that is a whole other issue. Agree on the jobs creation for fit out but the main structure made in China is the problem, and especially when that Chinese manufacture is making the same trailer for those other Chinese made Australian brands with different stickers….. the more this is talked about the better, out government has a lot to do with this and it is entirely a whole other topic. Still great content from you Stephan.👍

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

The bloke talks rubbish. They knew there webpage was faulty for a long time. Did not want to pay a webpage designer to fix it. There totally rude. Would not buy.

[@AlloffroadAu]

I never had a problem with them even before they provided the gear but I admit the web site is a bit outdated.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

I spoke to the director. So self centred. He did not know admin staff where making decisions that they had no rights.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

The acknowledge that there webpage was falty. Not my fault but there punished me. Total wrong. They need to work out one bad costumer ends up 50.

[@paj60s4wdoutdooradventures4]

So a paid review lol.

[@AlloffroadAu]

I have never done a paid review. Fortunately, I have the choice to review many products and awnings or just purchase what I prefer. Why would I have a product on my cars and trailers I'm not happy with, especially for the travel I do it would make zero sense. The reviews and product testing is a byproduct of my travelling, not the other way around.
