Discover the Latitude Wingman Awnings
The Ultimate Vehicle Side Awning
Whether you're embarking on a weekend adventure or living the full-time van life dream, having a reliable vehicle side awning is essential. The Latitude Wingman Awnings are designed to provide shelter, comfort, and versatility — all with a universal fitting system that works with most vehicles, from 4WDs and campervans to overland rigs and trailers.
In this blog, we’ll explore why the Wingman series stands out as one of the most practical and innovative awnings on the market today.
Heavy-Duty Protection When Not in Use
The Wingman awning is safely stored inside a heavy-duty PVC cover when not in use. This weatherproof casing protects your investment from dust, moisture, and harmful UV rays while you're on the road or parked up. The cover features a robust zip that seals tightly, ensuring your awning stays clean and dry in all conditions.
Pro tip: If your awning has been packed away wet, always ensure it’s dried out fully at the next opportunity to avoid long-term damage or mould.
Quick & Easy Solo Setup
Forget complicated setups or needing an extra pair of hands — the Latitude Wingman Awnings are designed for single-person operation. Simply unzip the cover, release the three Velcro straps, and watch the awning fan out into position. It’s a quick and stress-free process that can be completed in seconds.
At either end of the awning, tension clips allow you to secure the fabric tightly. For optimal tension and performance, it's best to run these clips as horizontally as possible.
Freestanding Awning Design
One of the standout features of the Wingman is its fully freestanding capability. This innovative design allows the awning to support its own weight without needing to be pegged down or supported by your vehicle. This makes it incredibly versatile and ideal for a wide range of setups and environments.
For windier or rainy conditions, simply deploy the robust TwistLock drop-down legs for added stability.
Transform Your Outdoor Space with Side Walls
All Wingman models offer optional side walls, which can be added to transform your awning into a private and weatherproof room. These side walls are perfect for:
Extra sleeping space for guests
A safe area for pets
A mobile kitchen setup
A private toilet or shower area
Storage space
A cosy dining area
Social zone
Or even a mini garage
With the Wingman, your outdoor living possibilities are endless.
Built-In LED Lighting for Night-Time Ambience
Adventure doesn't stop when the sun sets — and neither does your awning. The Wingman awning arms feature built-in LED lighting, providing both practical and ambient illumination for your evenings outdoors. Each LED strip has its own switch, allowing you to control the brightness to suit your mood or task.
The Latitude Wingman 270+, for example, includes four built-in LED light strips, offering ample lighting coverage for larger spaces.
Made from Premium Ripstop Polycotton
Built to last and withstand the elements, the Wingman awnings are crafted from ripstop polycotton — the same high-performance fabric used in Latitude’s renowned roof tents. This durable material is waterproof straight out of the boxand offers excellent UV resistance, thanks to its black colourway, which also provides generous shade in bright sunlight.
Universal Fitting for All Adventures
Whether you're driving a Land Cruiser, Defender or Transporter, the Wingman awning features a universal fitting system that works with most roof racks and vehicle types. This makes it the ideal vehicle side awning for adventurers who want flexibility without compromise.
