Overlanding 101: Benefits and Versatility of The Peregrine Pro 6-Arm 270° Awning

March 25, 2025


How the 23ZERO Peregrine Pro 6-Arm 270° Awning Transforms Your Overland Setup

When setting up the ultimate overlanding rig, protection from the elements is just as important as a rugged tent and a well-thought-out storage system. The 23ZERO Peregrine Pro 6-Arm 270° Awning is a game-changer for campers looking to maximize shade and coverage around their vehicle, especially in builds incorporating a decked drawer system. Unlike traditional awnings, this six-arm design extends not just to the side, but also around the back, offering superior protection for your campsite and many other awning benefits.

A New Level of Coverage for Your Overland Adventures

For years, traditional awnings have provided basic shelter, offering a simple overhead cover for campers and overlanders. However, the evolution of outdoor gear has brought a new level of protection and convenience, and 23Zero has been there every step of the way. The 270-degree awning redefines coverage and awning benefits, extending around your vehicle to create a spacious, wraparound shelter from sun, wind, and rain. With a quick-deploy design, support arms, and rugged durability, it’s the ultimate upgrade for overland adventures, ensuring comfort no matter where the trail takes you. 270° awnings have optional awning walls to further your awning benefits and enhance your coverage and living space.

Recently, Wayward Aussie from Expedition Superstore put the Peregrine Pro 6-Arm Awning to the test, pairing it with a Kabari XL rooftop tent using an innovative awning bracket kit designed specifically for a streamlined, hassle-free mounting solution.

The Key to a Clean Awning Mount: Kabari XL & 3.0 Awning Bracket Kit

One of the standout features of this setup is the new Kabari XL and Kabari 3.0 Awning Bracket Kit. Standard mounting solutions often require tucking brackets under roof racks or dealing with complex positioning issues. This new bracket system mounts directly to the tent body, making installation smoother while also keeping the awning more securely attached.

Why This Matters:

  • Direct tent mounting eliminates the need for extra under-mount brackets.

  • Streamlined setup keeps the awning more stable in high winds.

  • Avoids interference with the tent’s spring rods, which are essential for proper tent deployment.

Speaking of spring rods, one of the common challenges when mounting an awning to a Kabari XL or 3.0 tent is that the standard tent spring rods tend to get in the way. This bracket kit comes with specially adapted spring rod plates that reposition the rods, allowing them to function smoothly without interference from the awning.

Step-by-Step: A Quick Look at the Installation

While the real focus here is on how this setup improves your overland experience and awning benefits, let’s touch on a few key installation steps so you know what goes into mounting this awning properly:

1. Unboxing the Bracket Kit – The kit includes two mounting brackets and additional hardware, allowing for a secure, flush mount to the tent body.

2. Prepping the Mounting Points – Using a combination of existing and new hardware, the brackets are positioned to spread the weight evenly across the tent.

3. Adjusting for the Spring Rods – The relocation plates are installed to ensure the tent’s spring rods fit above the awning rather than getting tangled behind it.

4. Test Fitting the Awning – Before tightening everything down, the awning is loosely positioned to ensure proper alignment with the tent and clearance for movement.

5. Final Adjustments & Securing – Once the perfect position is found, all bolts are tightened, and the setup is checked for proper deployment.

Real-World Awning Benefits: Why This Awning Setup is a Must-Have

This combination of the 23ZERO Peregrine Pro 6-Arm 270° Awning and the Kabari XL bracket kit offers more than just a clean install—it dramatically improves functionality, durability, and usability in real-world overlanding scenarios.

Here’s why this is an ideal solution for campers and overlanders:

  • Maximum Coverage – Unlike traditional awnings, this one provides 270 degrees of protection, keeping both the side and rear of your vehicle shielded.

  • Rock-Solid Stability – The direct tent mount eliminates the wobble and stress points that can occur with roof rack-mounted awnings.

  • Effortless Deployment – The improved spring rod positioning ensures the tent and awning work together seamlessly, avoiding any awkward setup challenges.

  • All-Weather Reliability – Built with 23ZERO’s LST fabric, this awning provides UV protection, is waterproof, and is durable enough to withstand tough conditions.

Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Overland Awning Solution

If you’re serious about expanding your outdoor living space and making your overland rig as functional as possible, the 23ZERO Peregrine Pro 6-Arm 270° Awning—paired with the Kabari XL or Kabari 3.0 bracket kit—is a must-have upgrade.
