Family camping should be about getting away, spending time together and making memories - not spending hours setting up, packing down and wrestling with heavy camping gear.
That’s where the combination of Oztent awnings and RacksBrax makes sense.
Oztent has built its reputation around making camping easier, with practical equipment designed to get families outdoors without unnecessary fuss. An awning adds another level of comfort, creating a shaded and sheltered space where the family can eat, relax, play, cook and escape the Australian sun.
But there is one question every family camper should ask:
Does your awning really need to stay attached to your family vehicle all year round?
With the RacksBrax HD Hitch, compatible Oztent awnings can become part of a more flexible vehicle setup - one that is ready for family adventures when you need it and easy to remove when you don’t.
Your awning is for camping - not every trip to the shops
When you’re at camp, an awning can be one of the most useful pieces of equipment you own.
It creates a comfortable space between the vehicle and the outdoors. It provides shade for the kids, shelter for family meals and somewhere to sit when the weather isn’t cooperating.
For a family, that extra space can make a huge difference.
The problem comes when the weekend is over.
Suddenly, the awning that was invaluable at camp is still attached to the vehicle while you’re doing the school run, heading to work, shopping or simply driving around town.
That’s where RacksBrax changes the equation.
The RacksBrax HD Hitch is a precision-engineered quick-release awning system designed to make compatible awnings and roof-rack accessories fast to load, secure, and exceptionally quick to remove.
Instead of thinking of your awning as a permanent vehicle accessory, think of it as camping equipment that can be put on when you need it.
Heading away for the weekend?
Load it.
It’s a simple concept - and one that can completely change how you use your camping gear.
Built around family camping
Family camping comes with enough equipment already.
There are tents, swags, sleeping bags, chairs, tables, eskies, cooking equipment, bikes, recovery gear and enough food to feed everyone for a week.
The last thing you need is camping equipment becoming a permanent part of your vehicle when you’re not actually camping.
RacksBrax helps create a more modular 4WD for family vehicle setup.
Your vehicle can have an everyday configuration and an adventure configuration.
During the week, the awning can be stored away.
On Friday afternoon, it can be loaded and secured ready for the family road trip.
That means less unnecessary equipment on the vehicle during everyday driving and a setup that’s easier to tailor to the trip you’re actually taking.
It’s particularly useful for families who use the same vehicle for everything.
Your 4WD might be the family car Monday to Friday and the adventure vehicle on the weekend.
RacksBrax lets it be both.
Precision engineering for people who use their gear
RacksBrax isn’t simply about making an awning removable.
It’s about making the process fast, secure and repeatable.
The RacksBrax quick-release awning hitch system is precision engineered to provide a secure, rattle-free connection, while rigorous design, testing and quality-controlled manufacturing deliver a system that is strong, lightweight, secure and exceptionally fast to load and unload.
An integrated locking system provides added security when your awning is mounted, while continuous product testing is designed to ensure the system performs consistently over repeated use.
That matters when you’re loading and unloading your awning throughout the year.
The goal isn’t to create another complicated piece of camping equipment.
The goal is to make the transition between vehicle and storage remarkably simple.
Less gear on the vehicle. More flexibility for the family.
A large awning can be an important part of your camping setup, but there are plenty of occasions when you simply don’t need it.
- Maybe you’re taking the kids to sport.
- Maybe you’re heading into town.
- Maybe you’re towing something else.
- Maybe you’re using the vehicle for work.
- Or maybe you’re just enjoying a weekend at home.
With a quick-release system, there’s no reason your camping configuration has to remain your everyday configuration.
That’s one of the key benefits of RacksBrax.
Adventure mode and everyday mode should be different.
And that’s exactly how family camping should work.
Make the campsite the centre of family life
When you arrive at your destination, your Oztent awning becomes more than just an accessory.
It becomes part of the family’s outdoor living space.
Set up your chairs underneath it.
Prepare lunch in the shade.
Give the kids somewhere to play.
Set up a table for family meals.
Create a comfortable place to sit when the sun is at its strongest.
An awning gives you the opportunity to spend more time outside without having to spend all day exposed to the elements.
And that’s the real reason families invest in quality camping equipment.
It’s not about having more gear.
It’s about making it easier to spend on family adventures.
The RacksBrax advantage starts before you reach the campsite
There’s another benefit that can easily be overlooked.
Camping convenience doesn’t begin when you arrive.
It begins when you’re preparing to leave home.
With RacksBrax, the process can become part of your normal pre-trip routine.
Get the vehicle ready.
Load the awning.
Secure the hitch.
Lock it in.
Check your other camping equipment.
And go.
When you return home, reverse the process.
Remove the awning and put it away ready for the next trip.
That makes your camping equipment easier to manage and your vehicle easier to use between adventures.
Designed for Australian family adventures
Australian camping can mean just about anything.
A weekend at the beach
A trip into the bush
A long family road trip
A caravan park getaway
A remote camping adventure
A few nights beside a river
Whatever your destination, an awning can provide valuable shelter and comfort.
But your vehicle is more than your weekend and holiday adventure.
That’s why the ability to quickly remove your awning is so useful.
RacksBrax gives you the flexibility to choose when that equipment belongs on the vehicle.
A smarter way to think about your camping setup
It means having equipment that works hard, works reliably and makes your life easier. Oztent awnings provide the shelter and comfort that families need when they’re outdoors.
RacksBrax adds another layer of convenience by making a compatible awning quick and easy to load and remove.
Together, they create a camping setup that is designed around the way families actually use their vehicles.
During the week: keep the awning stored away.
On the weekend: load it and head off.
At camp: deploy your shelter and enjoy the outdoors.
When the trip is over: remove it and store it ready for next time.
It’s a simple philosophy:
Carry your camping gear when you’re camping.
Take it off when you’re not.
Because your 4WD doesn’t need to be in camping mode seven days a week.
Oztent gives your family the shelter. RacksBrax gives you the freedom.
