What is the difference between the Awning 3.0 and the Annex Plus?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Awning 3.0:

If you’re looking to expand your covered outdoor space quickly—whether for cooking, relaxing, or staying dry under rain or sun—the Awning 3.0 is a great choice. With its waterproof ripstop fabric and large footprint, it performs well in different weather. Because it’s attached at the roof tent’s entrance, it keeps you connected to your tent as your base.

Annex Plus:
If you want a full extra room—on the ground level—that can act as a changing room, gear storage, extra sleeping space, or even let you park your vehicle while still keeping your living area intact, the Annex Plus delivers. Its freestanding design means you can leave it set up even if you move your vehicle short term. The heavier fabric and larger enclosure provide comfort and versatility.
