Your Camping Gear Isn’t Cheap.
A quality 180° or 270° awning, pull-out awning, shower tent or roof-mounted accessory is a significant investment. So why leave it permanently attached when you’re not using it?
That’s where RacksBrax quick release hitches make a difference.
Designed to make compatible awnings and accessories fast on and fast off, RacksBrax allows you to remove your gear after the adventure - without tools and without repeatedly dismantling your roof rack mounting system.
It’s a simple way to use your gear when you need it, while giving it some much-needed protection when you don’t.
Your Awning is an Investment
Your awning spends enough time exposed to the elements when you’re actually camping:
Sun
Rain
Dust
Mud
Salt Air
Wind
These are all part of the outdoor experience, but they aren’t necessarily what your expensive camping equipment needs when it’s sitting unused on your driveway.
UV exposure, moisture, and dirt contribute to premature wear, while packing an awning away damp creates an ideal environment for mould. RacksBrax specifically recommends removing your awning when it isn’t required and storing it appropriately between trips.
With a RacksBrax quick release system, removing it isn’t a chore:
Release it. Take it off. Store it properly.
Then put it back on when you’re ready for your next adventure.
Protect Your Gear From the Australian Sun
Australian UV exposure can be brutal.
Your awning is designed to provide protection from the sun while you’re camping - but that doesn’t mean it needs to spend every day sitting on top of your vehicle absorbing UV radiation. RacksBrax makes it practical to remove the awning when it’s not being used, helping reduce unnecessary weather exposure.
Garage & Workshop Storage
The RacksBrax Wall Mount can be used to store the awning safely in your garage, carport, workshop, or storage area. Your awning spends less time exposed to the elements and more time safely stored between trips.
Don’t Pack It Away Wet
One of the simplest ways to damage an awning is also one of the easiest to avoid: Don’t store it wet.
Prevent Mould Growth
If an awning is packed away damp and remains that way, mould will develop. RacksBrax recommends allowing wet awnings to dry properly before storage. Being able to remove the awning easily makes this practical.
After a wet camping trip, you can take the awning off the vehicle, deploy it somewhere under cover, let it dry thoroughly, and then store it.
That’s considerably better than leaving it permanently mounted and hoping the next sunny day takes care of the problem.
Less Gear on Your Vehicle
There is another key benefit to removing camping equipment when you’re not off-road: Your 4WD doesn’t have to carry everything, all the time.
An awning adds weight and aerodynamic bulk to your vehicle. Remove it and you are:
-
Reducing heavy equipment carried during everyday driving
-
Reducing aerodynamic drag to help save fuel
-
Making your vehicle flexible for normal day-to-day use
Fast on for camping. Fast off for everyday life.
One System. Multiple Brands.
One of the main strengths of RacksBrax is its broad compatibility across the 4WD and camping market, working with over 60 leading accessory brands including:
ARB • Darche • 23ZERO • Rhino-Rack • Oztent • Howling Moon • The Bush Company • Bushwakka • ALU-CAB • Quick Pitch • 30 Second • CSS • Camp Boss • Destination 4WD • Camp King • Canyon Off-Road • Clevershade • Crash Pad • DRIFTA • Eezi-Awn • Hardkoor • Ironman 4X4 • James Baroud • Joolca • Kalahari • Koala Creek • KickAss • Motop • NaturNest • OCAM • Openroad • Ostrich • Outback Tourer • OVS • Oztrail • Rugged 4X4 • Thule • TJM • XTM Dune • Yakima • Adventure Kings … and many more.

For the most accurate answer, use the RacksBrax Works With selector to enter your exact awning make and model, or contact RacksBrax directly for fitment support.
The Right Hitch for the Right Awning
RacksBrax isn’t a one-size-fits-all bracket.
Engineered Fitment Solutions
The HD Hitch is designed for pull-out awnings and smaller accessories, while the XD Hitch is designed for larger wing-style awnings. Different mounting spacings are accommodated through dedicated adaptor systems.
The goal isn’t simply to find a bracket that physically attaches - it’s to find the correct engineered system for your particular awning.
Built for the Outdoors
RacksBrax hitches are manufactured using UV-stabilised glass-reinforced nylon, providing maximum strength and durability for harsh outdoor environments. The mounting brackets are constructed from heavy-duty 5mm powder-coated stainless steel.
Rust-Proof Body Advantage
The glass-reinforced nylon hitch body cannot rust. Combined with stainless-steel hardware, the entire system is built specifically for severe weather exposure.
Look After the Gear You’ve Paid For
The best camping gear is the gear that lasts. That means using it correctly, installing it properly, allowing wet equipment to dry, protecting it from UV degradation, and storing it safely.
RacksBrax makes these good habits effortless. Instead of leaving an expensive awning attached because taking it off is a hassle:
Store it securely. Keep it dry. Reduce weather exposure.
Then, when the next trip arrives, simply click it back on.
No Tools
No Repeated Dismantling
No Unnecessary Exposure
No Gear Damage
Just fast on, fast off.
