An awning (at the least) is pretty much a given "freebie" with a lot of the RTTs sold in the US; particularly as part of a sale. More common with the side opening hardshells. But nearly all of the ones I've ever looked at purchasing have awnings available (and most have annexes as well) save for wedge/clamshell styles.

Midguard Adventure is an authorized U.S. Bush Company dealer. They are in Dickinson, TX. Bush Company products seem every bit as high quality as Alu-Cab's, at least based on reviews I have seen. I have not had a chance to see either of their products up close and personal.
Indeed, they take double action roofs to the next level with the TX27 Max, but I think that 293 lbs. weight of that Absolute Unit would be a serious challenge to the 150 kg (331 lbs.) dynamic load limit for the Grenadier roof, particularly after you added mattress, ladder, bedding, solar panel, awning, etc. The regular TX27 is more reasonable at a sprightly 271 lbs. Yeesh. Solid build.
What?? I feel like we're getting ripped off in the UK then! It's very rare to get an awning or an annexe with the RTT and I've seen some of the sales and they haven't included them. They sometimes offer them when a particular model is being discontinued.
It’s got to depend on the quality of the RTT and the awning. I can’t see any supplier giving away a quality awning worth £1500 when you buy a quality RTT for £3500. Really cheap awnings are not worth fitting in my view.
Also depends on one's definition of "awning". I'm not talking a 180 or 270 that attaches to the vehicle, but a zip-on 180 that's common with something like an iKamper side-opening style. Not much to those as it's a piece of fabric with a section of zipper in the middle and grommets along the edges. But they're highly effective and, honestly, far more adaptable than an awning with aluminum arms as one can anchor them in such a way to block wind/rain/sun from various angles.It’s got to depend on the quality of the RTT and the awning.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a £1,500 Awning.. The most I've seen over in the UK are £300-500 ranges where it is predominantly a 180 awning.It’s got to depend on the quality of the RTT and the awning.

Here’s what I had before on my Defender and am also going to be putting one of these on my Grenadier. The quality is great and super strong. It’ll take my weight to do pull-ups on at the hinge end with no support poles. Poles and guys can be added for windy conditions. If had other makes inc eazyawn which buckled in the first camping trip And at £800 was a poor investment on my part. You get what you pay for. Only down side is the 270 awnings are substantially heavier.

not bad for 24kgs. considering that's approx. the weight difference between my missus and I (I am the fat one) then I'd need stick it on the LHS of the Gren.Here’s what I had before on my Defender and am also going to be putting one of these on my Grenadier.
