Gamiviti Awnings
Inspired by the Foxwing Awning from Rhino, Gamiviti imported its own branded left-hand 270 degree awnings and sidewalls in 2017, which offers a 270 degree awing in a lightweight, economical package.
Gamiviti 270 Degree Awning
The Gamiviti awning is a 270 degree awning, meaning is stretches out to the side, then around the back of your vehicle. We’ve tried the others, and are sold on the 270 degree option as the best solution for most vehicle applications. The material is grey 420D polyester oxford, enclosed in a UV resistant PVC sealed storage bag. The lightweight aluminum poles easily stow inside the bag, as does the bag of stakes and guy lines. Setup takes just a couple minutes and can be done easily by just one person (in windy situations, better if you have a helper). Same for stowing the awning after use, very easy to do and ample room inside the bag to zip up the awning, poles, and stake bag. Priced at $450, and ships for free with your Gamiviti roof rack. If ordered separately, we’ll contact you to confirm shipping costs (around $110 in the US).
Awnings come with 2 L-brackets, which allow you to bolt the awning to just about any flat surface. Additional spacer washers would be required to bolt these to your Gamiviti rack. For the best setup, we recommend upgrading to a pair of Gamiviti roof rack receivers, which allow you to install/uninstall your awning to your truck in less than one minute. This lets you store the awning safe and secure for daily driver duty, then quickly install it when it’s time to hit the trail, head for camp, or the soccer game. It also allows you to remove the awning to get it out of the way while loading up your rack & stowing your RTT.
Gamiviti Awning Side Walls
How do you make a great thing even better? Add walls to your Gamiviti 270 degree awning. Setup takes about 15 minutes, the longest portion is sliding the wall against the truck through the aluminum track… the rest is sturdy hook & loop around the upper perimeter, with stakes along the bottom engaging with the awning poles. You won’t set the walls up every time, but when you do you’ll discover many of its added benefits, including…
Protection from the setting sun, particularly late afternoon in the desert when the sun feels like it’s at its hottest..
Shade for your fridge, & the food on the tailgate.
Protection from wind- which always seems to pick up just when you’re starting dinner.
Protection from the cold- hanging out by the truck is much more pleasant in cooler weather when you’ve got the side walls installed
Privacy- you can’t always be the only one around for miles.. and you still need to change clothes, focus on your person, or just be you. It’s nice to have a little space to yourself, even in a crowd.
