RacksBrax + DRIFTA STOCKTON Awnings | HD & XD Quick Release Hitch

DRIFTA Camping awnings are built for people who spend time outdoors. Whether you’re setting up camp for the weekend, touring Australia or heading off-road, having quality shade and shelter ready to deploy makes life easier.

But when the trip is over, do you really want your DRIFTA STOCKTON awning permanently attached to your 4WD?

That’s where RacksBrax quick release hitches come in.

RacksBrax provides DRIFTA STOCKTON awnings with a practical way to go fast on for adventure and fast off for everyday driving and storage.

The right hitch for your DRIFTA STOCKTON awning

DRIFTA offers different awning configurations, so the correct RacksBrax hitch depends on the particular model and its mounting arrangement; you will need either a RacksBrax HD Hitch (Double) or HD Hitch (Triple) or the XD Hitch (Double).

Why Quick Release?

Your 4WD probably spends far more time on the road than it does at the campsite.

Leaving an awning permanently mounted means carrying additional weight and aerodynamic bulk every day - even when you’re simply commuting, shopping or driving around town.

RacksBrax changes that.

Once correctly installed, your DRIFTA STOCKTON awning can be removed without repeatedly undoing nuts and bolts.

No tools for the quick-release process. No unnecessary dismantling.

Take the awning off when you don’t need it, store it safely and put it back on when your next adventure begins.

Look after your DRIFTA Awning

A quality awning is an investment.

Removing it when you’re not camping can help reduce unnecessary exposure to UV, rain, dust and road grime. It also gives you the opportunity to clean and properly dry the awning before storing it.

RacksBrax Wall Mounts provide an additional storage option for your setup, allowing your awning to be moved from the vehicle to a suitable wall when it’s not being used.

That’s a smarter way to look after expensive camping equipment.

No Rust. No Rattle.

RacksBrax hitch bodies are manufactured from UV-stabilised glass-reinforced nylon. Unlike a conventional steel hitch body, the nylon component cannot rust.

RacksBrax also uses stainless-steel hardware across all quick release hitch systems and brackets, and the products are designed with dynamically secured mounting systems … this means absolutely NO rattle.

So, your DRIFTA awning can be connected using an engineered system designed for outdoor 4WD conditions.

No rust on the hitch body. No unnecessary rattle. No hassle.

Precision Engineering

A quick-release awning hitch needs to do more than support an awning while the vehicle is parked.

Once you’re moving, the mounting system experiences vibration, acceleration, braking, cornering and dynamic loads from uneven roads and off-road terrain.

RacksBrax HD and XD Hitches are designed around defined load limits, with a maximum specified load of 20 kg per hitch load point. The number of hitches required must also take into account the awning manufacturer’s recommended mounting points and the load limitations of the roof rack and vehicle.

That engineering approach is particularly important when carrying an awning high on your vehicle.

DRIFTA + RacksBrax

Whether you’re running a DRIFTA STOCKTON side awning with the HD Hitch or a compatible 180° freestanding awning with the XD Hitch, RacksBrax gives you a practical way to make your camping setup more flexible.
