Love how you show all the little details that get to be a bugger in the experience. Once again, nice job.
A great product Luke.
I’ve had mine now for about 6 months and glad I did my research. I pondered over a few brands of wing awnings with and without the poles but just wasn’t happy with the build quality (my opinion). Then I found a great review from Pete at WA Camping Adventures, and decided to give it a try.
I opted for the new style awning with the valance and bought it as the kit with pegs, ropes and led light. It fitted easily to my Rhino pioneer rack with the custom brackets Drifta supplied.
I’ve used the awning multiple times and been caught in some very windy conditions (WA) in Exmouth, Sandy Cape and Wilbinga and so far never had a problem. I did have the better half assist once in very strong winds, just to keep it taught while packing up. We also had a very strong wind storm one night, but with the supplied sand pegs and guide ropes it didn’t move at all.
I love the idea of the adjustable integrated poles and overall quality of build. It’s certainly not the cheapest awning on the market but cheap isn’t good and good isn’t cheap...
Thanks Luke, great informative videos as usual, good to see Kaito behind the camera. Always remember his BJ73 overview :)
Really helpful comparison, you've swayed me to the Rapid Wing
I love all your videos. You explain everything tips and tricks which is very helpful for me.
Bloody brilliant, what a beaut product, really well thought out.
Excellent! I will be getting one.
That's a really efficient and easily deployed awning. Wish we could get them shipped to the US.
great set up there. wish we had a place like yours hear in the uk
Second that mate.
Awesome products guys
Good video. Now its more clear for me what is the idea behind this setup. First impression was: too complicated. But I understand weight is an issue and being able to lower the awning is good when having wind or rain. Thanks for this video !
21:26 Bloody tail gates! haha
Or your shins get bloody from the trailer hitch!!
Wish there was a way for it to fit on a Dodge 2500 4WD truck. I absolutely love your gear and wish it was available here in the USA 🇺🇸
It seems most of the awning products are made for Toyota’s, Jeeps and alike.
Still love the videos and all the gear, really would love to purchase the awning.

Very very good
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks like a good awning. Just want to clarify something. Rhino rack pioneer trays have fully welded top rails so you may want to have a better look.
I like the extra valance, its a little more bulky but not that bad. You guys did well to keep it fairly slim, can the OZ tent fit up to the side of the awning?
In windy conditions I pin down each pole as I unfold the awning rather than pin them all at the end, and I would unpin each pole as I fold it up rather than unpin them all then fold it all up, if the poles need repositioning u can do that after but at least all the poles will be secure while you so.
Given the WUHT has a queens size mattress... can you option firmness?
Do you guys have a showroom in Adelaide.
Hi thank you for a great video. I have a prado 120 series. Which roof rack would you recommend n why? Aluminium or steel? Can you recommend an arb model for my car please together with the awning like the one in the video?
go aluminium over steel.. steel too heavy.. L
Have you seen the Bundertop? It’s African built hard top with electric roof,
Nice video. Do you still do the right hand side awning for the FJ Cruisers. Thanks
Greg Lindsell yep :)
They certainly do i bought one a couple of months ago, ordered online
Yeah mate
The 🔥 fire pit can Definitely Be Improved
By drilling some holes lower down
Cheers Bruce.
BruceSchultzAu it’s been said that, but i dont’ think so.. fire on the ground, where does it drawer air from ? From the sides, and drawers quiet well.. also any holes lower down, will just get clogged very quickly with ash, so no air will come thru anyway.. : ) L
@@driftacampingand4wd611 thanks for your reply
I'm not trying to be negative.
As Einstein said " man should look at what is , not what he thinks should be,,'
A Fire Pit should burn better than a fire in the ground as it breathes better. You shouldn't even try a comparison.
Cheers Bruce.
Hey Luke, would this awning clash with an 80 series rear cargo door when in the open position? I noticed the hilux has a similar cargo door - ideally the awning would sit above this.
Glen Elsworth no it’s fine :)
Super super bravo legend Toyota land cruiser👍👍👍
Awesome Gear and such.. (audio Killed my Ears - Fluctuation of sound)
How would an awning like this go on a car that has a lift up boot? e.g Grand Cherokee?
Jamie Sonego yes no problems
Luke. What roof tray is that on the prado?
ARB
Can you guys please make a showroom in Adelaide because I live there and I don’t really want to drive 15 hours from Adelaide to Sydney
think Melbourne will be 1st
@@Schimmel860 Melbourne seems to be the first place for everything
I agree legs are better, more secure. What’s the distance between the legs?
Conny Bjaaland it’s about 3 m.. : ) L
Nice set up but the only BIG Mistake in the Prado is lack of an interior sleeping place without a tent.The prado is big enough to set up a narrow place for sleeping inside-now that you have an awning, drawers, water, fuel and even a fridge.Where u gonna sleep? and please dont tell me a rooftop tent.Must sleep inside away from rain, wild animals and THUGS
can these be installed on hiace commuter vans?
can, but we got a 180 coming , and that would be much better : ) if you email mark@drifta.com.au , he can help you out.. : ) L
a good idea, do you have options for VW Touareg?
you can mount them on what ever vehicles... the lift up back lid does not matter. they come also for the opposite side.
Jakub Šimánek Thanks, what price?
Андрей Лутай www.drifta.com.au/product/rhs-drifta-rapid-wing-awning-kit/
Jakub Šimánek Thanks, what price, in US dollars?
Андрей Лутай not sure. Price on the webpage is in Australia dollars so x 0.7 I would say
Looks exactly like the ones made by Supa-rv? Why the Drifta ones more expensive?
Steve Burns it’s not more expensive, but there is several versions, so if you compare the same, it’s The same price.. L
@@DriftaCamping4WD Yeah I might have it wrong but I'm fairly sure it's the same? I was looking at the 2.4 rapid wing?.. Is advertised on your website for $1180? The Supa RV website are advertising their rapid wing for $1049? And same rapid wing on their eBay site for $949 with free shipping?
Am I missing something here?
Geeze I'd hate to see a long video if 25 minutes is the quick one
Mi-mi-microphone mate!
looks like it would be a pain in the ass in the wind. also unimprovable is a stupid claim, take the 30 second awning for example, 30 seconds for a fully free standing lunch time shade but it also has peg down hinged legs for windy conditions, also being free standing a sudden gust of wind wont throw it over the roof during setup making it super easy to set up solo,
this vids like 4 years old now... was a great awning, ,still is, but yeah freestanding now the go : ) L
@@DriftaCamping4WD 4 years? Danm I need to start paying more attention! But it seems you have proven my point anyway by improving your un-improvable product, very nice work guys
Hi Luke, I appreciate the points that you raise here, but to say something is "un-improvable" is a lie... human civilisation wouldn't be where it is now if people looked at something and said "that'll do".
For instance... I am in the market at the moment and found myself comparing your Rapid wing to the Darche 270 awning.
I like the rapid wing's tailgate flap, and putting up poles doesn't bother me, but the rapid wing lacks the sheer size that the Darche offers, as it has a second hinge which opens up the front and over the window.
Now... if you made an 'improved' rapid wing with a front opening hinge and a larger flap to cover the windshield better than the Darche ,I'd be all over it :D
Saxton Hale well the snow peak firepit is ‘unimproveable’ , in its design. u can’t compare the rapid wing to the imported copies, as the material is half the weight/ thickness, and poles half the strength etc, so if the rapid wing is bigger the bag is getting too bulky wen packed up. but pretty sure superpeg did make one like this, they even sent to me i just haven’t had a chance to look at it. L
The awnings without legs are just way too heavy to justify
