  • A game changing amount of shade and ease of set up.
I've only used it twice so far but it's a game changer for sure. I've had a couple "easy ups" in the past which are a total waste of money. You'll realize shortly after purchase and a light breeze kicks up. I think everyone; including myself must think, it must be the way I held it down? Nope, the easy ups trap a massive amount air and mother nature wins every time. In short, don't buy one. It's just a matter of time before you're out $100 or more. The straight-out awnings are pretty good and tolerate a lot of wind. I had an ARB awning on another vehicle and I loved it. They are affordable but don't offer enough shade. They're not the easiest to set up in a solo scenario either. That being said there is a huge price and weight gain when moving to a 270 awning. The OVS awning weighs in at about 65lbs and costs around $900+. The side panels cost almost as much as the awning which is a serious buzz kill. It comes with solid hardware to get you started for mounting but you might need to get creative as I did. As stated in the limited instructions, they can't possibly provide enough mounting hardware for every mounting scenario out there. I ended up using shallow Uni-Strut in combination with my roof rack to make the mount. I've got mine on a 1985 CUCV (K5 Blazer) and it's almost always a challenge making modern items fit on an old vehicle. Deploying the awning is very simple and takes just a few minutes once you figure out where you're attaching the tension straps. Unzip the bag, drop the Velcro straps, swing out the arms and use the included tension straps to hold back the awning arms to the roof rack. Keep the tension on the two outer support arms as horizontal as possible and not pulling down on the arms. Aluminum does not bend and spring back at all if you're not aware of Aluminums properties. Bent, being the key word. It will flex a little but once bent, it's bent and there is little you can do unless you're a fabricator with all the right tools. Even then, aluminum is great...once. Try fixing a slightly bent aluminum can. You get the idea. You can put enough horizontal tension on the arms with the supplied pull straps to keep the awning taught without bending the arms. Drop down the attached legs in light to no breeze for support. It's only freestanding on set up. They are not intended to free stand at all times, at least this one is not. You have to spend about $2K to get a totally freestanding unit from a different manufacturer. Even in a no breeze scenario, I'd still use the legs. Not because it's flimsy but because things just happen. They are super easy to use and set up it's foolish not to. It comes with extra separate legs in a bag for breezy conditions and plenty of tie down ropes and ground spikes. Honestly, I'd have to consider staying in the vehicle rather than outside under the shade if really needed all the poles and all the tie down ropes out. There's a serious storm in the works if I find myself in that situation. Once up, there is a lot of shade and in the desert it's pure joy! The side panels would be a fantastic addition depending on the position of the sun but at roughly $200 a panel times (3) I'll see how it goes without them. The resulting shade is more than I am used to anyway. All that said, it takes roughly the same time to stow as it does to deploy. Once you figure out how to fold and stow the awning material it's pretty simple (YouTube). The majority of my time has been spent stowing the straps/ropes away. The bag is of good quality and sufficient but using the zipper for closure is a bit snug; however, this may be the way I'm folding up the material. I was too excited once mounted on the roof rack and I failed to pay attention to how they had folded it up from the factory. Note to self. I almost forgot the worst part for me being only 5'7" are the Velcro straps at the top which tighten everything together in the bag. When you fold the arms in, the 3 straps with buckles will get pinched behind the arms and awning material. Trying to reach up and over the top of the awning to pull these out is a challenge when folded in. By myself, I'd probably have to let the material drop and open the arms just a little to get them free and start over. Note to self, make sure upper straps are out and free as you're stowing the awning. If the buckle was on the bottom, the straps on top would pull right out. The buckles are what get stuck. Pro's: Easy set up Easy to put away Lots of shade! Hardware My wife is happy with it once up but she did not like the price. Con's: Cost Side panel cost Upper buckle straps (should be on bottom, IMO) Installation, you may have to get creative. No flap to cover the gap created at the rear when deployed. Plenty of rain and sun can get through this gap. In my case, it'll be right where I'm cooking on the tail gate or where my feet will be while sleeping. I've reached out to OVS on this but no response yet. Update: OVS did respond but they do not make a small flap to cover the gap created at the rear. Seems like a simple option or just include it in the design. That, I would buy over the side panels. Would I do it again? Absolutely, the shade is totally worth it in the desert but it sure is a spendy item. I hope you find this helpful. Have a great day. ... show more

  • Awesome product, easy install.
Arrived on time. Shipping box was heavily damaged but the awning itself was unharmed. Initial inspection, the zippers had skipped a couple teeth when closed at the factory. I was concerned but when I open it up, it reclosed perfectly. Attached is a photo w/inventory sheet of what came in the accessory/mounting kit box. I was missing 2 guy ropes which OVS immediately shipped out to me. You will have additional parts as they have provided hrdwr for about 3 optional methods. Due to my Yakima crossbars thickness, I did end up purchasing longer stainless steel bolts to mount the heavy brackets. I used all 3 brackets w/4 bolts each. When mounting, I aligned the main rear hinge point centered over the top rear corner of my truck cap and I like the location when it is fully opened. It has even spacing/gaps between the awning on both the side and rear of the cap. I spent roughly 1h15m on the install and did require 2nd person to help lift it into place for the final connection to the mounts. The awning folded out and back in prefectly, however you will want at least a 2-step ladder to get it folded back up correctly if you have a similar height vehicle as my F-250 (not lifted). ... show more

  • Glad I went with this brand! Really nice awning!
This awning blew me away when I first opened it up and couldn’t believe how much it covers. I like the poles for the windy days but honestly if it isn’t real windy you don’t need them. My only complaint is putting it away its alittle tight and I wish the bag was alittle bigger. Maybe I’m doing it wrong but I would buy again. Super nice! ... show more

  • high quality product with imperfect instructions and customer service
I compared the Rhino Rack Batwing and the OVS Nomad 270 and after reading the customer reviews decided to spend the extra $200 for the Nomad. The short version of the review is that now that it is on my truck, I am excited to use it -- and it looks like a high-quality, highly-durable product that will be worth the investment. However, here are few annoying parts of the process: 1) I originally ordered the canopy on August 14th and at that time it was due to ship early September. However, OVS was kind enough to alert me that due to import delays, the next batch of canopies would not appear till early October -- and did I want to keep my order or cancel it? I decided to keep the order. On September 27th, I contacted OVS to verify the shipping schedule still stood -- which it did. And also, importantly to check whether the rack could be mounted to my existing Rhino Rack Heavy Duty racks. And I quote: "And you should be able to mount to the Rhino Rack no problem." The rack arrived on October 14th -- and while OVS ships a bunch of mounting hardware, none of it will allow you to mount the Nomad brackets to a Rhino Heavy Duty. So I immediately contacted OVS customer service to ask how I was supposed to use their hardware because a) there were no actual instructions for using the supplied hardware to fit any rack (let alone the Thule/Yakima/Down Range racks they assert it will), and b) what suggestions they had. Again, I had contacted them 2wks prior in case I needed to order some kind of fit kit -- but when I am told 'no problem', I assume that won't be required. The reply went as follows: "We provide the most common hardware for the awning that works with most racks unfortunately our hardware will not work with every rack. The awning will mount to those bars no problem you will just need a different bolt or a thick washer will work as well. These are available at home depot " So, in addition to no acknowledgement of the imperfect information, I am again told this will be 'no problem' mounting my awning if I just go to Home Depot. I didn't then and still don't expect OVS to have provided every possible piece of hardware to mount my awning to my rack. But after waiting over a month for a $900 awning, and verifying that I don't need to order anything further 10days before it got here, it was frustrating to then be told I should just go to Home Depot for some washers. Again, keep in mind, the limited warranty explicitly states that "Improper installation" releases OVS for any liability on their product. And I could easily imagine a half-decent lawyer naming some random washers from Home Depot as being grounds for 'improper installation.' So, a) not great technical customer service, and b) no specific bracket to rack installation instructions included with the awning, but c) the awning really does look like a high-quality piece of equipment. I chose to resolve the bracket to rack mounting challenge by using a Rhino Rack 43105 Attachment Plate Kit (for mounting one of their Pioneer Trays to a Heavy Duty Rack); it is in the picture. **** updated 11/2/20 **** I have just returned from my first road trip with this awning. Including four days of rain, one of them dropping 1.5” on the awning. I am impressed by the durability and waterproof nature of the material. There was no leak-through at any point on the awning and the additional, supplied guy lines made creating flow channels very straightforward. I am therefore upgrading my review to 4-stars. ... show more

  • Impressed great value
When I first bought the awning and set it up in my shop I was disappointed but after several uses last use during the mountain bike race 50 mile an hour gusts did not have it tied down nothing bent nothing went wrong I am convinced it is very well built and I recommend it highly to anybody who asked me about it worth the money ... show more
