One of the simplest—and most overlooked—ways to cut costs? Reduce the weight your vehicle carries.
Heavy Loads, Heavier Fuel Bills
According to the NRMA, a car loaded to its maximum weight can burn up to 24% more fuel. All those roof racks stacked with awnings, camping gear, and 4x4 equipment might make adventures possible—but when they’re not in use, they’re silently draining your fuel efficiency.
Fast Off, Save Fuel
This is where the RacksBrax Quick Release Hitch comes in. Our Quick Release Hitch lets you remove your awning from your roof rack in just seconds—no tools needed.
Fast Off, Easy Storage
With the RacksBrax Wall Mount, storing your gear at home has never been easier. Keep your awning and 4x4 equipment safe from harsh Australian conditions, neatly organized on your garage wall—ready for the next adventure at a moment’s notice. Fast on, fast off—it’s that simple.
Why It Works
Less weight = better fuel efficiency: Every single kilo counts towards your overall range and spending.
Quick installation & removal: No time wasted and zero frustration with heavy tools.
Organized garage storage: Keeps gear off the floor and protected from elements when not on the road.
Save money every trip: Lower aerodynamic drag and lighter weight mean immediate pump savings.
