Pack it in, pack it out doesn’t get any easier than the Batwing Awning from Rhino-Rack. It includes all ropes, pegs, and poles needed for a complete setup in minutes, plus packs, stores, and transports like a champ thanks to the included heavy-duty PVC carry bag.

The 33200 Batwing Awning provides 270 degrees of coverage, enough to shade 118 sq/ft of area. The canopy is made from lightweight ripstop denier nylon—which resists water, mold, and UV rays—while the poles and frame are protected by a rust-resistant black powdercoat. Plastic hinges are flexible and durable, and the Velcro attachment points are double-stitched to go the distance. Fits all Rhino-Rack and Thule roof racks with specific fitting kits. Backed by a one-year warranty.

Note: 33200 is the right-hand model. For the left-hand version, choose 33100.
