Wall Kit 270 XT MAX Awning

270 XT MAX Wall Kit: six walls, full wraparound enclosure

Five main walls plus a front arm wall turn the 270 XT MAX Mk2 Awning into a fully enclosed, all-weather room. Use it as a living space, a change room or a storm shelter, with all 12.2m² of the awning under cover.

In the kit

• Five main walls, each cut to suit its spot on the awning, for a complete wraparound enclosure.
• Three midge-mesh windows and two roll-up canvas doors, each door with its own mesh window. Inner canvas flaps zip from inside to control airflow.
• Front arm wall that runs along the front non-trussed arm to stop rain and close the gap above the bonnet. It also works as a privacy screen.
• Custom vinyl hanger for a private change room.
• Six aluminium telescopic poles, extending to 2.6m, to carry the weight of the walls and keep them taut and steady in wind.
• Pegs for the wall skirts.
• One heavy-duty canvas bag for all six walls, and a separate canvas bag for the poles.

Using it

Two doors mean you can come and go from either end, and one sits where it keeps full access to the back of the vehicle if that's where your kitchen lives. Roll both up on a hot day for a cross-breeze. Every door and window has mesh on the outside and a canvas flap on the inside that zips up from the bottom, so you can open it right up, partway, or close it off completely. The mesh is easy to see out of and hard to see into, so with the flap zipped halfway you can change below head height and still see out.

Peg the door panels out horizontally on extra poles (not supplied) and they turn into extra awnings, stretching shade past the main footprint to keep gear, chairs or the fridge out of the sun.

For a private change room, shower or toilet area, fit the custom vinyl hanger around any of the trussed awning arms and hang a wall from it with Velcro. A door panel can be zipped open so you can get in and out.

The poles slot into the built-in holes in the trussed arms. On Mk2 awnings, a webbing loop sewn into the outer edge of the canvas at the end of each non-trussed arm takes a pole too. Older models get retrofit webbing straps, which can stay on the awning. When pegging down, start where the zips join so a gust can't pull the zips open. If you like, the walls can stay zipped together and fold away as one piece.

The whole kit weighs 24kg and packs down to 166 × 24 × 20cm.

Made for Australian weather

The walls are 260gsm ±5% acrylic-treated polyester ripstop canvas, the same olive canvas used on Bush Company awnings and tents, with 600gsm PVC splash skirts. The weighted PVC base helps the walls hang straight and flap less, and it wipes clean of mud and sand. Adjustable pegging points and eyelets suit different vehicle heights and keep water out and walls down in gusts. Panels join with YKK spiral zips, made from spiralled polyester and nylon, which is the softest, smoothest-running zip YKK makes. Wet the walls down before first use so the thread swells and seals the stitching.

Fit

Cut for the 270 XT MAX Mk2, with zips and Velcro closures that line up with the awning. The walls attach to the Velcro loop strip on the awning's valance, so they also suit any awning with a Velcro loop strip on its valance. 12-month warranty.

Only want one or two walls? The Universal Single Canvas Wall and Universal Single Mesh Wall suit any Bush Company awning and zip together along their sides for more coverage.
