Put A Roof Over Your Head – the roof awning for your sedan: Rhino-Rack Dome 1300

There’s a stack of roof awnings on the market mostly designed for high-roofed 4×4’s. But what if you own a sedan or wagon style vehicle and still want the sun-shielding, rain-shedding connivence of an awning. Well the Rhino-Rack Dome 1300 could be for you.

Rather than just a straight sheet of material that hangs off the side of your car this product features a dome design, providing the extra headroom.

It can be mounted to either side of your vehicle or even to the rear. Perfect for near the beach, setting up in a park or anywhere your weekend travels may take you.

Being a Rhino-Rack product means it’s constructed from the same rip-stop polycotton fabric as other awnings in the popular Sunseekeer range. A UV50+ rating and large space opening of 2500mm x 2400mm means there’s plenty of shade on hand.

Headroom sits at well over 2m or 6.5ft and the whole awning packs away to just 1300mm in length. The product comes with just a few simple easy to use parts, 1 x awning, 2 x guy ropes, 2 x vertical poles and 2 x support poles. The Rhino–Rack Dome 1300 Awning comes with a 1 year warranty and has a RRP of $379.00.
