When you invest in an Alu-Cab Shadow Awning, you’re buying more than shade.
The 270° Shadow is designed to create an impressive 10m² of shelter, wrapping around the vehicle to give you a comfortable outdoor living space wherever the track takes you. Its 315gsm fabric is designed to repel water and heat, while the silver coating reflects the sun to help keep the space underneath cool and soothing.
It’s tough, practical and remarkably easy to deploy.
Built for adventure. Easy to deploy.
The Alu-Cab Shadow combines one-person setup, heavy-duty aluminium arms and freestanding capability with a design that provides instant protection from sun and rain. The pop-up rain pole adds extra headroom and helps with water run-off, while the awning packs neatly into its heavy-duty storage bag.
The result … an awning that is ready when you are.
But there are plenty of times when you’re not camping.
That’s where RacksBrax XD quick release awning hitch changes the equation.
Your Alu-Cab. Your choice.
The RacksBrax XD Hitch is built around a simple idea: your large awning shouldn’t have to be a permanent fixture on your 4WD.
For the Alu-Cab 180° and 270° Shadow Awnings, RacksBrax offers a dedicated XD Alu-Cab Quick Pitch Awning Adaptor which accommodates their unique mounting configuration. The system uses two XD Hitches and two adaptors for the complete quick-release setup.
That means you can have the best of both worlds.
-
✔ Heading away? Load it.
-
✔ At camp? Deploy it.
-
✔ Back home? Release it and store it.
The 270° Shadow weighs 24kg, so being able to remove it when you’re not touring isn’t a minor convenience - it gives you a completely different way to manage your vehicle setup.
From touring mode to everyday mode
Your Alu-Cab awning is built to make time outdoors more comfortable. Add the Shadow Wall Kit and you can create even more shade, wind protection and living space around your vehicle.
But you don’t need that capability every day.
The RacksBrax quick release awning set-up lets you switch between adventure mode and everyday mode without your awning being a permanent vehicle accessory.
And when the awning is off the vehicle, it can be stored securely rather than sitting exposed to everyday UV and weather.
That’s the real benefit of the RacksBrax system.
Keep the 10m² of shelter. Keep the premium construction. Keep the instant setup.
Just don’t feel like you have to carry your Alu-Cab everywhere.
With RacksBrax XD, your Shadow Awning is ready when adventure calls - and out of the way when it doesn’t.
