The wall for the HD Nomadic 180 awning, with a door and windows.

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.

The 180 opens to a half circle, and unlike the 270 it closes in with a single wall rather than a set of three. That makes it the cheapest way to get from an open awning to an enclosed room — one part number and you are done.

The door means you are not ducking under fabric every time you go in or out, and the windows keep some daylight and airflow in a space that otherwise gets dark and close fast.

Universal fit across the 180. Grey body with green trim, packs into its own storage bag.

Check the model before ordering. The 180 LTE takes a different wall, and 270 walls do not fit a 180 at all. The model name is printed on the travel cover — send it to us if you are unsure.
