How to Set Up the OEX Vertex Hub Awning

The Vertex Hub is a spacious, functional shelter designed to extend the living and storage space of OEX roof tents. Find out how to connect it to your OEX Vertex Lite or Vertex Lite 130 Roof Tent with this step-by-step instructional guide.
At the end of the video, there is a guide on how to turn the Hub into an awning with the supplied pair of king poles.

Well got Hub, it's height range is up to 1800mm for a car (it achieves this height by the use of an expander panel, but, you can't see it in the video as it is zipped up just above the side door on both sides), that isn't mentioned anywhere!. That excluded my VW Caddy as with a heavy duty roof rack the height to top of roof rack is 1950mm. I bought the hub and cancelled it by email (when I realised it didn't have a fitting height mentioned) and it arrived yesterday!!!. It's a lovely well made bit of kit (and I'd love to keep it), but although it might just about fit (I measured it including the pegging down expander strap and expander panel), the only way I can check is to fit it and then I can't send it back. So today it will be returned. My Vertex roof top tent actually fits OK as the ladder is actually higher than stated in spec. This coming weekend I'm going camping to test out the roof tent, shame I won't have a hub to test out too! Perhaps OEX will step in and let me try it if I give a review, it's got to be of interest if it fits smaller vans, there's loads out there, the roof tent ain't just for cars! NB: My original vertex is billed on some sites as a 2 - 3 person tent, I can say that (unless its two small children), only one adult fits comfortably. Also, you may have heard that the ventilation is poor so it sweats, well I can say there are double zips on all windows and the door bottom is zipless so air can easily circulate through, either under the door, with door up and mesh in place and with widows partially unzipped behind the storm flaps that surround it externally (so rain won't fall in).

The Hub will be online very soon! Some GO Outdoors stores have stock already so worth calling your local store to check

[@imaggot81]

Any idea when stock will be back in go outdoors or the other stockists on your site? Nobody has it available and just got the vertex lite tent would like this to go with it

[@MarthaMorrison-y6d]

Hi I have purchased this roof tent and emailed Go outdoor and they have said they don't stock the awning 08/07/24. Could you let me know where you purchased yours please.

[@michaelnoble8458]

[@Raventommm]

Are you using the original 90° roof bars of your dacia?

[@fuckyourhandle]

What is the minimum height a car can be for this awning to work ? I have a standard height 3 series and would be interested, but dont wannt end uo with an awning thats slack and creased

[@paulmaryon4120]

Is this the new vertex roof tent, if so will the awning fit the last version of the vertex that go outdoors has just reduced

[@OEXoutdoor]

Hi Paul. The Hub is designed to fit the new Vertex Lite 130 but will also fit the older Vertex Lite model

[@roblane6821]

How high can the vehicle be (to top of roof rack)?

[@markainsworth01]

How is the base supported if you take the ladder away ?

[@danielwoolcock7267]

Looks like it's all on the opening hinge, which will be knackered very soon. Plus the weight of the awning now on top too.

[@TheLifeOfTT441]

You would obviously need to lower the ladder and keep it down if you’re in it.

[@scottyR5T]

Whats the minimum roof height that it can be

[@kevinfarquhar6616]

Dose anyone know how the tent supports it's self whe the ladders are put away?

[@reubenfinch3114]

It will hold aslong no one is in it there is no pressure or extra weight so the roof bars don’t need the support of the ladders

[@Waqarkhan-el2kk]

Hi , I can’t find it any where online or in Go outdoors , where do you buy one ?

[@OEXoutdoor]

The Hub will be available very soon online

[@roblane6821]

It's now available at go out doors and several online retailers £199.
