Hatchback? No problem.

The 180° Shadow Awning delivers wide, wraparound shade in a compact, 180-degree design. Engineered with rugged aluminum components and premium UV-resistant, solar-reflective fabric, it provides reliable protection from harsh sun and changing weather conditions.

Lightweight, durable and fast to deploy, the 180° Awning transforms your rig into a comfortable basecamp wherever the adventure takes you.

You found the perfect spot.

But what happens when the sun shifts, the wind picks up, or those clouds start looking serious?

Without shelter, you're scrambling, packing up and moving on.

With a Shadow Awning you simply unzip, swing and secure.

Don’t let the weather call the shots.

Can't stand the heat? Stay in the kitchen.

While everyone else chases shade, you're flipping bacon while the sun blazes down.

Not all awnings are built for extremes. The Shadow Awning is. It reflects sunlight, cuts the heat beneath it and throws 10m² of cover.

We’re Eric, Brittany and Caspian from Hourless Life, and we’re driving around southern Africa for a year! We shipped our Jeep home from South America to Cape Town in January. Since then, we’ve been wandering northward through South Africa and Namibia.

We’ve been traveling slower than we anticipated because both countries have captivated us, especially Namibia with its wild spaces and geographical diversity.

Next up we’re about to cross the border into Botswana. The countries of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho and Eswatini will follow. We love how our home on wheels is designed to explore the continent.

Following feedback from Let's get lost South Africa, we've identified an opportunity to improve our awning and have implemented this change at factory level.

Simple fix. Big difference.
This is what community-driven innovation looks like. Real people, real conditions and real improvements.

Thank you for being the kind of community that helps us make it better.
