Truck and SUV Awnings for Camping in BC: How to Choose the Right Wild Wood Setup

When the rain rolls in off the coast or the sun is beating down on a lakeshore in the Interior, shade and shelter make or break a camp. A vehicle awning gives you a dry kitchen, a shaded place to sit, and a spot to hang wet gear, all set up in a few minutes from the side of your truck or SUV. Here is how our awning lineup compares, so you can pick the one that fits the way you travel.

Wild Wood OG Awning (Universal Fit)

The Wild Wood OG Awning is our simplest, most affordable awning. It is 2.5 m wide by 3 m long, fits most roof racks, and has a built-in LED light for evenings at camp. The fabric is 420D polyester ripstop with a PU coating rated to 2000 mm and UV50+ protection. It is a great pick if you want quick shade and rain cover without much weight or cost.

270 Free-Standing Wild Awning

The 270 Free-Standing Wild Awning is built for serious basecamps. It swings 270° around the side and rear of your vehicle, so your tailgate kitchen and side door are covered at the same time. It comes in 2.3 m and 2.5 m sizes and is made from heavy-duty 600D ripstop canvas with a PU coating rated to 5000 mm and UV50+, on an aluminium frame with a stainless steel U-hinge. Because it is free-standing, you can skip the poles in calm weather. A support leg is included for wind or extra load, along with two LED arms with two light colours. It weighs about 25 kg and stores in a black PVC cover.

270 Awning Full Wall Kit

The 270 Awning Full Wall Kit adds walls to your 270 awning, turning open shade into enclosed shelter from wind, rain, and bugs. It is ideal for shoulder-season trips or cooking out of the weather.

Wild Wood OG Annex Room

The Wild Wood OG Annex Room turns your awning into a full room, 2.5 m wide, 2 m tall, and 3 m deep. It comes with a PVC floor, pegs, and a carry bag, and is made from 420D polyester ripstop with a 3000 mm PU coating and UV50+. Use it as a change room, a gear room, or extra sleeping space. The awning is sold separately, so check with us which awning it pairs with before you order.

Which one should you choose?

• Weekend trips and day use: the OG Awning.
• Cooking and living out of your vehicle: the 270 Free-Standing Awning covers the most ground.
• Cold, wet, or buggy seasons: add the Full Wall Kit to your 270.
• Families, or anyone who wants a private room at camp: add the Annex Room.
