The passenger-side HD Nomadic 270 LTE awning together with both walls — the complete enclosed setup in one order.

The LTE is the lightest of the 270s, which is the reason to run one on a rack that is already loaded with a tent and boxes.

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.

What is in the box: the LTE awning, Wall 1 and Wall 2. Buying the three separately costs the same, so this is simply the tidier way to order — and it removes any chance of pairing a driver-side wall with a passenger-side awning.

Grey body with green trim and a black travel cover.

Mounting brackets are sold separately and are specific to your rack or roof bar.
