Rhino-Rack Batwing & Sunseeker + RacksBrax: Shade When You Need It

Rhino-Rack has an awning for almost every kind of adventure.

The Rhino-Rack Batwing is the big-shelter solution, wrapping around the side and rear of the vehicle to deliver up to 12m² of coverage in the latest freestanding 270° model. The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker takes a simpler approach, providing quick and easy side-mounted shade in a lightweight package.

Both are designed around a common idea: get your shelter out quickly, use it, and pack it away when you’re done.

RacksBrax takes that philosophy one step further.

Batwing: big coverage, bigger flexibility

The Rhino-Rack Batwing 270° is designed to provide substantial wraparound shelter, with the current freestanding version offering more than 12m² of coverage. It can also be expanded with accessories including extensions, sidewalls and a mesh floor, turning your shaded area into a more versatile outdoor living space.

But a large awning is still a substantial accessory to carry around.

That’s where the RacksBrax XD Hitch comes in.

So instead of treating your Rhino-Rack Batwing as a permanent fixture, you can make it part of a more modular vehicle setup.

Heading away?

Load it.

At camp?

Deploy it.

Back home?

Remove it.

Sunseeker: simple shade, smarter removal

The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker is the lighter, simpler option.

The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker 2m awning provides around 4m² of coverage and uses ripstop polycotton fabric with 2000mm water resistance, mould resistance and UPF50+ protection. Optional sidewalls and extensions allow you to increase coverage and protection when required.

For compatible Sunseeker mounting configurations, the RacksBrax HD Hitch provides the same core advantage: fast loading and fast removal.

That means your awning can be on the vehicle in seconds when you need it - and off in seconds when you don’t.

Your 4WD doesn’t need to be in camping mode every day

This is the real RacksBrax advantage.

Your Rhino-Rack awning is there for camping, touring, weekends at the beach, sporting events and days spent outdoors.

It doesn’t need to stay attached during the rest of the week.

RacksBrax gives you a way to make your setup more flexible, helping you move between everyday mode and adventure mode without treating your awning as a permanent vehicle accessory.

And when the awning is off the vehicle, RacksBrax storage solutions provide a practical way to keep your equipment organised and ready for its next trip.

Big Batwing coverage or lightweight Sunseeker simplicity.

Whatever your Rhino-Rack awning, RacksBrax makes it easy.

Load it. Lock it. Adventure. Remove it. Store it. Repeat.
