Howling Moon 270 Swing Awning - Owner's Review

Another review of the equipment that I use on my Land Rover, this time the Howling Moon 270 Swing Awning.
An excellent awning that provides ample of protection and easy to use.

Pro's
1) well constructed
2) 300GSM ripstop canvas
3) self supporting up to 20km winds
4) legs provided in all arms
5) walls ( door or window ) can be purchased individually or as a set.

Con's
1) ground pegs are shit!
2) tie down straps were replaced with tent rope.
3) package cover is not waterproof
4) zippers to attach the walls to the awning were down graded to standard zippers. Pre 2020 versions of Howling Moon Swing Awnings had HD zippers. The best proof I could find is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZoZ3nV7f5w

From the time I placed the order and finally received this awning, it was nearing 6 months, the distributor prided himself that I was getting the updated 2020 awning. By changing to a standard zipper on the awning and changing out the tie down straps for tent rope I think it was more of a step backwards as I did my research and knew exactly what I wanted when I placed the original order.

With that said, the few faults are not enough to make me want to change. In heavy Nordic rains this swing awning has held up very well.

If this swing awning is within your price range, I'd recommend you taking a good look at it.

Thanks for watching and enjoy.
