Free Spirit Recreation 180° Aluminum Tailgate Awning Features:
- Three Straps. No Poles: Unzip the cover, release three straps, and the awning is deployed. Freestanding design means no ground poles, no guy lines, no setup routine to learn. Tie-downs and stakes are included (and recommended) for windy conditions.
- Dual Mounting Options: Mount off the rear of your RTT for direct tailgate coverage, or side-mount to a smaller SUV or crossover for lateral coverage — useful when a full-length 180 V2 is more awning than the vehicle needs.
- 600D Oxford Ripstop — Waterproof: The same 600D Oxford Ripstop fabric used across the FSR awning lineup, with a PVC exterior cover for protection when packed. Built for rain, not just shade.
- Integrated Dimmable LED Lighting: USB-powered dimmable lighting keeps your tailgate area lit after dark. Battery bank sold separately.
- Compact When Stowed: At 30 lbs and a closed profile of 59″ long, the Tailgate Awning adds minimal weight and footprint to your RTT setup when packed — it just rides along until you need it.
- Optional Walls Available: Add the 180 Tailgate Awning Walls (96″) to fully enclose the rear of your rig — extra protection, extra privacy, or an additional sleeping space in the truck bed.
