“Thanks for the clarification... FWC sells the Eezi. Is there a big quality difference between them ?”
I own the Rhino Rack Batwing. It uses aluminum tubing and connects to the main hinge pin with Delrin connectors. I have broken several of those connectors but they are easily replaced, I now carry spares. Deployed without using the vertical support poles, my Batwing sags when extended...you must use the poles. The Eezi Awn Bat uses rectangular aluminum tubing and has integral aluminum connectors with the hinge pin. This is a much stronger connection. Deployed without using the vertical support poles this awning does not sag. Reference the photo of the BunduAwn.
“I am skeptical of the idea that you don't need to stake down an awning. Sooner or later a wind gust that you weren't expecting will hit you and turn your awning into a damaged awning. “
Indeed! This is exactly what happened to me on the Mojave Rd. My Batwing “oragamied” and snapped two of the Delrin connectors, easily repaired later (I could have, and should have, attempted a field repair). While stronger due to the integral aluminum connectors and therefore sturdier under mild conditions, I can’t imagine repairing an EeziAwn Bat, let alone a field repair, would be easy. But that’s pure speculation on my part.
And then, of course, there is the difference in purchase price. I have taken a look at all three awnings and the Bat and AluCab are very nice pieces of equipment, well built. I bought my Batwing based on the lower price point and am happy with my purchase.
