Freespirit Recreation 180 Tailgate Awning
DESCRIPTION
180 TAILGATE AWNING — Rear coverage. Compact. Only 30 lbs.
Perfect for: FSR Evolution & Aspen Pro RTT pairings · Truck tailgate setups · Smaller SUVs & crossovers needing side coverage · Compact builds where every pound matters
The 270 and 180 V2 awnings mount to your rack rail and cover the side of your vehicle. The Tailgate Awning solves a different problem: it mounts directly off the rear of your FSR hard shell rooftop tent or rack and covers the space you're actually using — your tailgate. Three straps, no poles, and a 30 lb pack weight make it the lightest, most purpose-specific awning in the FSR lineup. If your camp life revolves around the back of your truck, this is the one built for it.
Features:
Two Straps. No Poles. Unzip the cover, release three straps, and the awning is deployed. Freestanding design means no ground poles, no guy lines, no setup routine to learn. Tie-downs and stakes are included (and recommended) for windy conditions.
Dual Mounting Options Mount off the rear of your RTT for direct tailgate coverage, or side-mount to a smaller SUV or crossover for lateral coverage — useful when a full-length 180 V2 is more awning than the vehicle needs.
600D Oxford Ripstop — Waterproof The same 600D Oxford Ripstop fabric used across the FSR awning lineup, with a PVC exterior cover for protection when packed. Built for rain, not just shade.
Integrated Dimmable LED Lighting USB-powered dimmable lighting keeps your tailgate area lit after dark. Battery bank sold separately.
Compact When Stowed At 30 lbs and a closed profile of 59" long, the Tailgate Awning adds minimal weight and footprint to your RTT setup when packed — it just rides along until you need it.
Optional Walls Available Add the 180 Tailgate Awning Walls (96") to fully enclose the rear of your rig — extra protection, extra privacy, or an additional sleeping space in the truck bed.
