Latitude Wingman 270+
The Latitude Wingman® 270+ free-standing awning is here to offer an extremely versatile solution for outdoor weather protection. Featuring integrated LED lights, an extremely robust aluminium frame, a heavy-duty cover, TwistLock support legs and our 320g Ripstop Polycotton material, the same as our Latitude Roof Tents!
The 270+ has a coverage area of 110 sq/ft and weighs 29kgs.
Quick & Simple
Setting up the Wingman awning is easy for one person and takes only seconds. The cover un-zips, three velcro retainer straps are undone and the awning then fans out into position. The weight is carried by itself, so the process is stress-free and simple.
At either end of the awning there are tension clips. Hook these onto somewhere secure to pull the awning tight. It is best to keep these clips running as horizontally as possible.
Free Standing
The Wingman is thoughtfully designed to be completely free-standing, allowing it to independently support its own weight without any reliance on the vehicle or the ground. This innovative feature significantly enhances its versatility for different uses, providing a stable and reliable shelter in a variety of outdoor settings. For added stability in windier and wetter conditions, the awning is equipped with robust TwistLock drop-down legs, which work to ensure that it remains securely anchored in place.
When using the Wingman Side Walls, it is necessary to use all drop-down TwistLock legs.
Built-In Lighting
The built-in LED lights in the arms of the Wingman awning provide a practical and ambient lighting solution. Each light is equipped with an individual switch, allowing you to easily control the brightness according to your preference. The warm light emitted creates a welcoming atmosphere, enhancing your evening spent outside. The number of lights varies depending on the model of the awning, ensuring that there is an option suitable for every space and need.
The Latitude Wingman 270+ comes with four built-in LED light strips.
Waterproof & Shading
The materials used for our Wingman awnings are manufactured from ripstop polycotton, the same fabric used in our roof tents. This material is fully waterproof straight out of the box, providing reliable protection against rain. The black colourway also offers significant shade in sunnier conditions.
Built For Strength
The Wingman awning framework is designed with exceptional strength and robustness, ensuring that it remains stable and reliable even in challenging weather conditions. Constructed from powder-coated aluminium, the framework's structural integrity allows it to stand independently without the need for additional support in moderate winds. Then deploy the TwistLock legs in stronger wind to avoid damage.
Optional Side Walls
All Wingman awning styles have the option to add side walls, transforming your outdoor space further by becoming a sheltered room adjacent to your vehicle. This feature enhances your privacy and also provides further protection from the elements.
Use the space for extra guests, furry friends, a kitchen set-up, a toilet, more storage, a dining area, socialising or even a garage. The possibilities are endless!

Heavy Duty Cover
The Wingman awning is stored in a heavy-duty PVC cover when not in use, ensuring its protection from the elements when parked up and driving. This durable cover is designed to withstand all weather conditions, safeguarding the awning from dust, moisture, and UV damage. A robust zip seals the cover tightly.
If your awning is packed away wet it is vital that you dry it out as soon as possible to avoid any damage.
Installation
Designed and built to be as easy to install as possible, your Wingman awning comes with universal brackets and hardware to fit a wide range of roof bars and roof racks.
It can directly bolt to the Latitude Explorer Roof Tent with our Explorer Fitting Kit, making life even easier and your Roof Tent - Awning set-up look and operate seamlessly.
Additional mounting kits or custom fabrication may be required depending on your vehicle and set-up.
Integrate Accessories
The Wingman has been built to accommodate a range of Latitude Accessories. The Camp Caddy and Shoe Bags provide a convenient storage solution, keeping your gear organised and within reach. Additionally, the carabiner strap allows for easy attachment of items, ensuring that everything you need is securely fastened and accessible.
Tie Down Points & Usage
The rain tie-down points on the Wingman awnings are designed to ensure effective water drainage, preventing pooling on the top. By providing secure anchoring to the ground, these tie-downs help maintain the awning's shape and stability even in adverse weather conditions. Positioned strategically, they direct rainwater away from the canopy while keeping the structure firmly in place. There are also flip-up legs built into the awning framework to create a peak in the material to aid drainage.
If wind conditions become extremely severe, we would advise using common sense to determine whether it should be used.
