Support vehicle - instant shade!

Post by GeeTee »

Hi folks,
some of you - especially a few bike competitors - will remember the pop-up awning on the rear of my Toyota Hilux that tendered my yellow VW Beetle this year. The awning is a component of my GT Campers.

I just want to let you all know that I've been playing with the design and now have a roof-rack mount that allows my GT Campers Bikini awning to be installed on a roof rack on the rear of many 4WD wagons.

This, and the original pop-up post design, is available for separate sale. Both are Aussie designed and made and - I hope you will agree - premium quality and hugely useful products that are particularly handy in the searing lake conditions as they are supported by the vehicle without poles or ropes.

That means the vehicle can be moved forward toward the start-line without interrupting the shade :D

I'd love to hear from any fellow competitors who would like one on their tender rigs
