Review: Alucab 270 Awning Review and Usage

I've had my Alucab 270 awning for at least 7 years and it has done amazing! I have one of the older model ones, the newer ones are even nicer.
This awning is a beast, it can handle rain, snow, and some wind.
Living fulltime on the road I use this awning almost weekly and I've put it to the test.
Some sun to snow its seen it all. If anyone has tested it the most it would be someone like me.
Unfortunately everything must come to an end, Stick around to the end of the video for a shocking surprise.

One of the arms on my Alu-Cab shadow awning broke on a recent holiday. It bent in the wind right through where the brand name has been water jet cut in the arm. They have created a weak point by doing this. I put a claim through under the structural warranty side of things, but it was denied… Needless to say, I’ll be removing the awning from my rack and won’t be spending anymore money on Alu-Cab in the future.

Hi just found both of your channels... (54 yr old widower W/2 boys) I know its not my place, But some one LIKES ❤you A LOT‼ little hint its not me.. I wonder who it could be 🤔. Who ever it is. U LOOK GREAT TOGETHER! #SoulMates #fact

[@TheOverlanderNextdoor]

Awwweee thank you!

[@Bibs123]

You have tilt those or they break every time in a rainstorm. It's best to just take them in if you aren't going to be able and monitor them. It cost me 1,500 on my RV.

[@seansearls7442]

Hi! How are you attaching your maxxtracks to the side of your Alu-cab?

[@airsofts2k295]

Hey, got an FJ and I am already convinced to purchase Alu cab RRT along with the awning 279… what rack you mount in? Great video btw!!!!!

[@TheOverlanderNextdoor]

It's mounted to a bisongear rack, super good and inexpensive rack

❤ They should sponsor you! Send you a new one. Does Phil have an affiliate code?.🤣 We hope you have no problem getting replacement parts. Mark (& Teresa)

[@TheOverlanderNextdoor]

I've reached out to them they were very helpful but still not in my budget to replace or fix its an unfortunate situation for sure.

@@TheOverlanderNextdoor 😔 Bummer! I know our friend who has Toyota Overlanders runs one if the Rhino Rack Batwing Awning 270. While it's not freestanding. He likes that he can easily purchase all the parts and it's an affordable solution. Pro and cons of everything in life. Mark (& Teresa) P.S it was cool to see you, Phil, Kevin, Amanda (I think she was there) on DUO Face Time yesterday evening with Happy at Nichols Auto Fab shop. That was really cool Happy surprised us on that phone call. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year.

[@TheOverlanderNextdoor]

Oh that was you guys thats awesome haha it was nice to see you! Hopfully I'll get a new Awning figured out soon! Happy holidays to you!

[@RogerCampillo]

The awning is amazing, I have no doubt about it, but if it accumulates all this water under rain…that’s not good.
