Note: This awning is only compatible with crossbars that extend past the roof rack's legs.
Perfect for tailgating, outdoor markets, and camping, the Rhino-Rack Batwing provides shade anywhere you take your vehicle. The awning mounts to your Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform or crossbars with top channels. It is supported by built-in telescoping poles that let a single person set it up and break it down in minutes. Made of ripstop, polyester canvas that is resistant to UV rays, water, and mold, the awning swings out 270 degrees from your passenger's side to provide you with 118 sq ft of shade. With different awning extensions (sold separately), you can expand the shade coverage or even create an enclosure around your vehicle. The Batwing's 50+ UPF protection has earned it an official endorsement by Cancer Council Australia.
Using just one motion, the Batwing unfolds 270 degrees from your vehicle's roof to provide 118 sq ft of shade. Just unzip the storage bag, flip the integrated storage pouch containing pegs and guy ropes out of the way, and bring the awning from the side of your vehicle toward the rear. Then, use the integrated tension strap to secure the awning to the back of your roof rack.
The telescoping support poles are built into the awning, which means you don't have to attach each pole separately during setup. Simply unclasp each pole from the built-in clips on the awning and drop them into position. After this, tighten the poles to the necessary height. You can also adjust the poles to different heights to suit any type of terrain, so the awning is always steady and secure.
When not in use, the poles are held in place by rare earth Neodymium magnets. Just push them toward the frame and they'll automatically secure to the housing.
After all the poles are set up, anchor them to the ground using the included pegs. The feet have 2 holes built in to let you drive 2 pegs into the ground at opposing sides for enhanced stability.
To bring the Batwing to maximum tension, attach the hooked guy ropes to the frame and secure them to the ground with the pegs. Using the additional tie-down point in the mid-section of the awning will allow rainwater to easily drain off. As an added benefit, the guy ropes have a bright orange color to improve visibility at night.
Strong and lightweight, the awning's ripstop, polyester canvas is waterproof, mold resistant, and UV protected. The telescoping poles and awning frame are constructed of aluminum and finished with a black powder coat, so they won't rust or fade when exposed to the weather. When not in use, all the parts are stored inside the heavy-duty PVC storage cover.
The Batwing has earned an endorsement from Cancer Council Australia for its UV protection. It received a 50+ UPF rating during independent testing, meaning it will allow less than 2 percent of effective UV transmission.
The included mounting brackets attach to the channels on the awning's frame and mount to your Pioneer platform or crossbars with top channels. Simply slide the nuts into the channels and tighten them down.
The Batwing will install to Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty crossbars with a hardware kit (RR33101 - sold separately). To mount it to square and round roof rack crossbars, you will need to purchase a mounting kit (sold separately).
The Batwing has optional extensions to provide more shade and improve your outdoor experience. All of these extensions easily install by zipping to the outer edges of the awning. And just like the Batwing, they use telescoping poles, guy ropes, and pegs to secure to the ground. They are made of durable, ripstop polycotton canvas which is waterproof, mold resistant, and UV protected.
The Batwing can be expanded with the 48 sq ft extension (RR31101 - sold separately). With this extension, you can increase your overhead coverage or make a windbreaker or sidewall.
Using the 78-3/4 sq ft tapered extension (RR31112 - sold separately), you can either increase your coverage or form a sidewall. When you integrate 3 more tapered extensions, you can create a full enclosure around your vehicle.
In addition to attaching extensions to the awning, the frame itself can hold additional accessories. The awning frame is compatible with channel mount accessories, like the Rhino-Rack shovel holder (RR43103 - sold separately). These accessories attach to the frame using the same channels you use to mount the awning to your roof rack.

Still recommend etrailer but would NEVER recommend the Batwing awning or Rhino Rack again. The awning was cheaply made and did not withstand even a mild breeze without ripping their supplied guy lines and stakes out of the ground and flipping the awning over my car - breaking two arms and scratching my paint. Its a giant, cheap sail attached to your car and The entire design is flawed for exactly that outcome and Rhino Rack knows it. Their customer support was a big finger. They did, however point me to replacement parts that would quickly add up to the cost of the awning. I will NEVER buy Rhino Rack products again and advise anyone reading this to look for alternatives. You are now buying their name and not any kind of quality or support. I sold my awning 2 months after buying it for a loss, but I was very happy to see that POS go. These 270 awnings are a great idea, but shop for a better one. Dont be me. Spend a bit more and get a better product.
