The HD Nomadic 180 awning together with its wall — the complete enclosed setup in one order.

The 180 opens to a half circle, shading the side of the vehicle and wrapping around the rear corner to the tailgate. Add the wall — which carries a door and windows — and that becomes a room you can shut.

Walls turn an awning into a room. Shade is only half the problem on a long trip — wind carries dust through camp, afternoon sun comes in sideways under the canopy, and rain blows in no matter how well you pitched it. Zipping walls onto the awning gives you an enclosed space you can cook in, change in, and sit in when the weather turns.

This is the package to buy if you are starting from nothing. Buying the awning and the wall separately gets you to the same place; this way it arrives as one order.

Universal fit. Grey body with green trim and a black travel cover.

The mounting bracket kit is included. This package ships with the HD Nomadic bracket kit for the 270 and 180, so there are no brackets to buy separately — what arrives is everything needed to put the awning on your rack.

Fabric and warranty: 280G ripstop poly-cotton oxford with a 3500 PU waterproof rating. HD carries a 4 year fabric warranty and a 4 year structural warranty.
