Whether you're camping in the mountains, tailgating at the beach, or sheltering during a desert storm, this awning is built to withstand the harshest conditions. The large canopy provides a reliable barrier against rain, wind, and scorching sunlight, creating a comfortable zone to relax, cook, or gear up for your next adventure. Its heavy-duty materials and weatherproof performance mean you can explore further without worrying about the forecast.

Enhanced Support and Larger Coverage
Compared to the standard 270 awning, the Plus version steps up the game with six integrated pull-down legs, offering next-level wind resistance and structural stability. Whether you're setting up camp in rocky terrain or dealing with unpredictable gusts, this awning stays firmly in place. The oversized canopy provides broader coverage for your gear, camp kitchen, or family hangout zone — all while blocking 95% of harmful UV rays. The legs are adjustable from 47.5" to 90", ensuring a secure setup on uneven ground and giving you the flexibility to adapt to your environment.


Integrated LED Light Strip For Night Use
Extend your adventures well into the night with the built-in, three-color LED light strip, integrated directly into the frame of the awning. Choose between warm white, cool white, or amber tones with a simple touch, and long-press to fine-tune the brightness based on your mood or activity. Whether you're prepping dinner, reading a map, or sharing stories under the stars, this feature turns your setup into a cozy, illuminated retreat. The lighting system is low-power and energy-efficient, making it perfect for off-grid use without draining your vehicle's battery.
Fast Setup With Flexible Mounting
Designed for solo or team setups, the OPENROAD4WD 270 Awning Plus features pre-attached arms, quick-release straps, and user-friendly mounting hardware for a fast and hassle-free install. It’s compatible with most crossbars and roof rack systems found on full-size and mid-size vehicles. The robust hinge mechanism and secure bracket system ensure long-term durability, even in rugged overlanding environments. Once mounted, setup takes just a few minutes — no tools required. Whether you're on the go or setting up base camp, you’ll have instant shade, privacy, and protection wherever the road takes you.

Let customers speak for us

I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
The tent was delivered in a crate, seems to have been protected well and there was no damage to it at all. No missing parts or anything like that. The fabric seems heavy duty and operates as expected. The mattress is better than expected. I like how the rainfly poles fit as it doesn't hit my cab when installed. super happy with the purchase.
I emailed with concerns of tracking info and the owner emailed me back immediately. He eso always quick to respond and even updated me with when the package was confirmed to be in transit.
I shoooed for my roof top tent for weeks I was lucky to find that live more outside had a reduced price in too of an end of the year sale for the exact model tent I was considering. LMO neat everyone’s price. Highly recommend.
