CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE 4WD AWNINGS, Kings Awning vs new Bush Company Awning (PLUS OUTTAKES)

[@zWanTeDx]

My opinion on cheap vs expensive awnings is to go with the cheap for the replacement factor. What we all look for in an awning is weather protection from the rain and the sun. The Kings awning does just that. I'm all for quality for durability in other cases, but after I had a camping trip in Charlie Morelands, QLD we had a freak storm which put tree size logs everywhere around camp, which although didn't damage my pride and joy, absolutely destroyed my good quality awning. It doesn't matter what awning you have, it won't stop tree branches, abnormal winds, freak hail storms and even damage from 4x4ing. That's why I believe cheap is best for the replacement factor as a tree going through a $100 awning is less painful than a tree going through a $1,000 awning.

I’m 3:40 into this video. Solid so far. I’ve never built an overland, but I am researching as much as I can before I do. Thank you for the sound advice. If the rest of the video is this good, you’ll have a new subscriber.

Respect for the honesty with buying a cheaper awning over an expensive one just recently purchased a Dune 279 awning for litteraly a 5th of the price of a bush company one 🤣

[@Puckelf4923]

The kings awnings are a bit flimsy and my m8 had a colaps during a rain storm form pooling in the center ... However a company called Supa RV make a curved telescoping center pole that can fit most awnings for $60. The velco is also a bit dodgy so we added some heavy gauge press studs (thumb snaps) to the velcro. With a bit of fussing for little cost it made a big difference and in the end it works great now.

[@BoresaverAus]

Good sensible review and the best thing I did was get the screw pegs and impact driver. Its now a breeze putting in the pegs!

[@RoundTheFire]

Awesome man, Im a big fan of aesthetics on accessories...It's gotta work but its gotta suit your theme too. Love the out takes mate, Its good to know that I'm not the only one who needs about 1000 goes at it.

[@TyFenwick]

Yeah man absolutely, I love how it’s coming together... raptors turn soon, hahahaha some times I can’t even get the words out I’m like wtf 😂

[@RoundTheFire]

@@TyFenwick If you need a hand to smack those hogs doing damage all over the place mate I'm down!!

[@TyFenwick]

I’m putting my traps and grain out tomorrow night see what I end up getting 👌🏼

[@olgalavenant3481]

Excellent video!

[@D_humpa]

Hi mate nice vid! Im looking at this exact awning and I'm about to pull the trigger. Are you still happy with it are they strong enough and have you had any troubles? How much wind can it handle roughly in your opinion? I appreciate your time.

[@TyFenwick]

The bush company has sponsored me since this video and I’m running there 180 now but there both been awesome!

[@D_humpa]

@@TyFenwick i literally seen your next 180 video after i commented. Cheers mate. Im tosseing up between a 180 or 270. Its doing my head in

[@mcake1234]

Great advice. Thank you.

[@Detonator_Prime]

Loving your vids mate. So happy you have kept them going. Definitely agree with you on this topic. I did the same thing with my Patrol. Used it to work out what is vital, what is aesthetic and looks cool and what is useful but doesn’t need to cost a fortune. No I am building up my Raptor I am concentrating on spending the dollars where is counts.

[@TyFenwick]

Absolutely mate ! I’m buying things that look good, work good, light weight and will last. Thanks appreciate the comment cheers !

[@Ziochopchop]

Hey Ty, is that the Decker Draw System? and if so, can you do a clip on it please. thinking about getting one for my Raptor. cheers

[@XTC95]

Right now the 2.5x2.5 kings awning is 89$. Sure it's no where near as good but if you smash an expensive awning 4weeling against a tree it will probably break no matter the price haha

[@daveclarke1466]

Like what your doing keep on doing it thanks

[@ryanbrown2818]

Mate beaut setup! Would love to do that but I reckon it’d be a bit long for the canopy on the dual cab ranger! Great vids !

[@TyFenwick]

Thanks mate !!! If you don’t have a roof rack these tents are designed to go forward over the cab 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@ivanbiscan1587]

Looks good ty well done

[@TyFenwick]

Cheers mate !!!

[@philipw7557]

Nice one Ty 👍😎

[@TyFenwick]

Thanks mate, hope your having a good weekend !

[@aaronroby4905]

This might be a stupid question but can the aweing get any bigger it just seems like they only did half a job can they go right around the car . Also can they make it stronger so if it hails it wont wreck the car just some ideas . Like i said it might be a stupid question because im looking at some stage of buying one in the future.

[@TyFenwick]

They just released there new one that’s a lot stronger. Check out The Bush Company on Instagram. Or KZbin.

[@michaelnugara1]

I like your reviews. I have to agree on the RTT. It's first class and I will be buying one soon. Can't agree on the awning though. I was at the 4x4 and camping show yesterday and checked out heaps of awnings and the Howling Moon awning won hands down. The Alu Cab one was rubbish and so was that Darche and the other awnings which were all basically the same as the Darche. The howling moon awning has a stronger structure and the pivot points look heaps more strudy than the The Bush Company awning. You could've got a 6 arm 2.5 M deep Howling Moon awning for $1490. Did you actually compare awnings in the flesh? I'm not being critical, just giving you some feedback. Thanks again for the vid though. PS. How the hell did you get 37s on a Ranger?

[@TyFenwick]

Cheers mate, no unfortunately I didn’t compare awnings in the flesh as I didn’t have time but I’m happy with my Bush Company one it’s been fantastic so far. 37s on a ranger ? I have 37s on the f250 not the ranger.

[@REZZA2020]

Great stuff- thanks mate

[@TyFenwick]

No worries hope you enjoyed it mate !

[@autoglassmike]

Glad I found your channel good content

[@TyFenwick]

Cheers mate appreciate the comment ! Hope your having an awesome weekend 🤘🏼

[@GotYourSixCoffee]

how much weight do you have on top of the Truck Top?

[@TyFenwick]

About 100kg from memory, the canopy can take 220kg of weight on it own. However I’ve also added internal aluminium supports to hold the load.

[@bobcat7664]

Nice-looking awning but still can't justify the price when I can go and buy a Kings 270 just a strong not to mention most awnings are built in China doesn't matter what names on the awning

[@TyFenwick]

It all depends if your looking for a short term option ? These awnings are made in South Africa, high quality materials are use like the heavy canvas. Kings gear is ok but awning like mine would outlast all the china awnings in the long term.

[@bobcat7664]

Well all I can say is I hope it lasts as long as you think there's a bloke on another KZbin channel that recommended a South African made shower ensuite for camping in outback only two years in the s*** itself I hope your awning last

[@Jim-tq4gf]

Got me on hit the sub button lol your going to have to do I cant reach ffs lol.. done Cob

[@electricdeckhead3083]

just get a darche, more area, smaller packed up and 2 thirds the price.

[@karlosxzy]

RRP of the Bush Company as of today is near $2k..

[@TyFenwick]

There new awnings are by far the best on the market hands down. I have a new one on the way for review stay tuned 👍🏼
