That's the best way i've ever seen for unrolling a straight awning like that. Brilliant mate. I've got the 30 second awning 270 degree, that's pretty easy to set up and can be left free standing in mild wind.
Jimbo Jones Gday mate, Yeah the straight out awnings are pretty easy with some practice. The 270 awnings are a good thing. Heaps of shade under them. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim.

Gday mate. That’s great your awning arrived and you have installed it. I’ve made another video setup and pack up video, with a few more tips. It’s goes up on Monday night. Thanks heaps mate for your feedback. I’m glad the video helped you out. Cheers Tim
Hi Leigh, Thanks mate for your feed back. I have made a follow up video from the awning set up, and I show the clips I have attached to my guy ropes. Sure is a lot quicker, than tieing them on.

Thanks Tim. I'm in the midst of purchasing my first 4x4 to tow the 5.5 mtr tinnie. And the Nissan Patrol 2953 is up for grabs. After a bit of a surf on the web i feel more confident that this could be a highly adventurous blank canvas to paint a future of joy for our 4 girls from 2 to 14. Your vid gives me confidence that i have made the right choice. in respect of the zd30 history. Keep doing what you do. Youre a good guy. and your advice helps many
G'day Peter, How did you go with purchasing your first 4wd. Did you end up getting that Nissan Patrol? Mine has been fantastic and still going very strong after 297000ks Thanks greatly for your feed back.
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
I ended up cutting some flexible black poly pipe cutting it a little longer than the width of the awning and cut a U shape into each end and fitted it under the awning so when fitted it makes the awning slight arch up enough to make the rain just run off the sides instead of pooling in the middle.
Something else people might be interested in Tim is about going to places in the high country. The high country being so big we often don't know what to expect going to places and the things to be considered. On a map places don't look far but can turn into a 4-5 hour trip from the bitumen so tips like what we need to know if going to certain places like fuel, tracks best time of the year, water crossings, whether it is a solo track or recommended to have other cars with you. Just some thoughts for future times making videos.
Thank you very much for your ideas on what people might be interested in seeing and knowing about. Im going to put in place some of your suggestions for all to see, with a lot of helpful tips for the High Country.
Great vid and some great tips! Here's another one - grease up that zipper of the awning holdall! I found out the hard way in big winds after a hot n dusty day that the zipper just locks up... Trying to undo it without breaking the zip is a right old B. Would be good to see a vid on the setup and breakdown in 30-50km winds which are abundant on Oz beaches :-)
G'day Patrick, I spray WD40 along my zipper every now and then. I also find that works a treat, in making the zipper slide nicely. They do clog up with dust and dirt. They are a challenge to pack away in strong wind. You have to make sure you have a good hold of it, to stop it taking off over the roof of your 4wd. Thanks a lot mate for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.
Haha lol I’m glad you found the video helpful. I have another video showing how to setup and pack up a roll out awning. Thanks for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.
Nice video Tim. I’m getting rid of my “standard” awning as I never use it. I’m replacing it with the 270 degree awning as I reckon I’ll use it heaps more.
Gday Fiona, The roll out awnings like mine all have those side pull out arms. I have another video showing setup and pack up in more detail if you’d like to watch that one also. It is easy, just take your time. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Cheers Tim
@Tim Bates 4wd Adventures Hey, thanks a lot. I tried this morning, and I did not think I paid attention to those arms. I will try tmr am as it is very hot ATM.
I would like to hear from your high country experience as to how you pick your place to set up camp regarding weather and even what to look out for with things like possible tree branches coming down, what you consider before going, just how you make your plan. Not being too familiar with the high country things to consider if you got locked in by flooded rivers if you have unexpected weather. Your knowledge is well worth collecting no matter how unimportant it might seem. Thanks Tim
Thank you very much for your reply. I will see what i can do to prepare a video covering the information that you have asked for. It's a video that i would really enjoy putting together. Thanks again.
G'day Cheryl, No worries at all. Sorry i don't have any videos on solar blankets or panels. I just have a 120wt solar panel that i take away. The blankets are a better option as they fold up and save on space and weight. I have a few more videos on how to set up a roll out awning if you haven't watched those. Thanks a lot for you reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.
@@timbates4wdadventures thank you again ... ill look around. Yes I saw your awning n how to set up, it was great n helped me from making alot of mistakes. Happy camping.. cant wait to get out there myself.
G'day Peter, Thats a hard one to answer. So many awning options on the market these days from the single roll out like i have to the full wrap around awnings. For me, i just like what i have, its simple and doesn't weigh a lot hanging off my roof rack. Thanks a lot for your question mate. Cheers Tim.
Is this a commercially sold awning? Which brand and size do you have here? Or is this a home made awning? Either way, very nice and thanks for sharing with us.
Yes it is mate. The awning in the video is an old TJM awning. Awnings have come a long way over the years. Im now using an Ironman 4x4 awning. Great quality and easy to set up.

Always good hearing what other great camping set up ideas that others are doing.
Or alternatively lower 1 side 40cm or 50cm before bed or leaving camp
