I have a hand full of new Foxwing Awnings for sale.
  • 2.5m (8'3"), 270* opening, left side mount only
  • 9 oz cotton-poly ripstop canvas (heavier than most), tan or olive green
  • 4 telescoping aluminum poles/tie-downs/pegs, including one extra for windy conditions
  • Hardware bracket included, however the bracket holes don't quite line up requiring a hole enlargement. The awning aluminum support has a dual track, requiring a 6mm hex bolt or t-slot bolt. A 1/2" will work if you lay it on the grinder a bit (down to .243"). Other options:
    • I've ordered the correct hardware including brackets for purchase later (mid-January?)
    • After market mounting hardware is available for $40-60
  • $525 + shipping, compare to $700-1,000.

Is it a foxwing or is it a knock off?

Will it zip into the tents you have listed?
A foxwing or batwing is a style of awning, and all of them, including Rhino are imported. To compare, the aluminum rail is the same thickness, the mounting brackets here are 3/8" stainless steel (heavy duty), the aluminum poles appear to be the same, and the carry case is heavy duty and waterproof. The differences are this one is 9 oz cotton/poly ripstop canvas (PU coated) and the Rhino is about 7-8 oz and this one has the teq logo on the case and the awning itself.

Unfortunately, it can not be zipped into other tents. For high winds, there are also 4 anchor points (1 for each panel) that can be tied down.

In short, this covering is heavier than Rhino, but Rhino has zip panels that can be added.

so to be clear no zip panels or walls are offered or will work with this model. I really like the pie shaped zip on panels on the fox wing.

No, panels are not an option. I liked the idea of it, but when looking at foxwing sales, very few are sold with panels. Since its a low demand option and in an effort to keep the cost down, I decided against panel attachments.

My goal with this design is simple but durable. Instead of zipper attachments, I went with a heavier material.
