Why Do I Need a Latitude Wingman Awning? Discover the Ultimate Outdoor Upgrade
If you’re an adventurer, weekend warrior, or just love spending time outdoors, the Latitude Wingman Awning could be the upgrade your setup is missing. But if you’re wondering, “Why do I need an awning?” — you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s break down why the Latitude Wingman Awnings are more than just a shade solution — they’re a game-changer for anyone who values comfort, functionality, and style on the road or at camp.
Quick & Easy Set-Up – Even Solo
Time and hassle are the enemies of a relaxing trip. The Wingman awning is designed to be effortlessly set up by just one person in seconds:
Unzip the heavy-duty PVC cover
Undo three Velcro straps
Let the awning fan out into position
It’s self-supporting from the moment it opens, so you’re not juggling poles or guessing angles. The tension clips at either end help you pull the awning tight for a clean, secure fit.
100% Free-Standing Design for Ultimate Flexibility
Unlike many awnings that rely on your vehicle or ground stakes for support, the Latitude Wingman is completely free-standing. This unique design allows the awning to:
Stand independently
Support its own weight
Offer unmatched versatility in setup locations
This means more freedom in how and where you use it — whether you're parking on the beach, grass, or gravel.
All-Weather Performance You Can Trust
Built for the unpredictable outdoors, the Latitude Wingman awnings use the same ripstop polycotton as our trusted roof tents:
Fully waterproof straight out of the box
Provides significant shade thanks to the black colourway
Resists tearing and wear over time
For added security in windier or wetter conditions, the TwistLock drop-down legs provide extra anchoring and strength. And if you're adding side walls, using these legs are a must.
Built-In LED Lighting for After-Dark Comfort
Why cut your night short just because the sun sets? Each Wingman awning arm includes built-in LED lights, creating a warm, ambient glow at camp:
Individual switches let you control each strip
Brightness-adjustable for mood or task lighting
This makes it ideal for cooking, dining, socialising, or simply relaxing long after dark.
Robust Construction for Real-World Adventures
The awning’s powder-coated aluminium frame ensures rock-solid stability in a wide range of conditions. It’s built to:
Withstand moderate wind without additional support
Resist corrosion and wear
Provide peace of mind even in rugged terrain
When stronger winds roll in, simply deploy the TwistLock legs for extra support and protection.
Expandable Outdoor Living with Side Walls
Want to take your setup to the next level? Add optional Wingman Side Walls to:
Create a private, weatherproof room next to your vehicle
Shield your space from wind, sun, and rain
Gain more useable space for any purpose
Use your new room for guests, gear storage, a mobile kitchen, a toilet area, or just a cosy chill-out zone. The possibilities are endless.
Durable, Protective Storage When Not in Use
When it’s time to hit the road, the Wingman awning packs neatly into its heavy-duty PVC cover:
UV-resistant and waterproof
Seals tightly with a tough zip
Shields your awning from dust, dirt, and road grime
Pro tip: If you pack your awning away wet, make sure to dry it out ASAP to avoid mildew or material damage.
So, Why Do You Need a Latitude Wingman Awning?
Whether you’re chasing sunsets, setting up for a weekend surf trip, or just need a shady spot to chill, the Latitude Wingman Awning transforms your vehicle into a multi-purpose base camp — in seconds.
With easy setup, robust materials, integrated lighting, and unmatched flexibility, it’s more than an awning. It’s an essential piece of gear for anyone serious about outdoor living.
