Boss Aluminium has forged a reputation over the last twenty years as leaders in the manufacturing of trays and aluminium canopies, along with performing bespoke expedition vehicle fit outs. The freestanding 270 Awning launch follows the release of the innovative Boss Aluminium roof top tent in 2019, which took roof top camping to a new level of comfort, ease of set up, and durability.

The founder and chief designer of Boss Aluminium, Dave Whitehead, identified the need for a premium range of off-road touring accessories such as the 270 degree Awning following the proliferation of cheap imported products over the past decade. Dave states…“All Boss accessories and vehicle builds are designed, tested and manufactured in Australia and built to withstand the toughest off-road conditions. Our customers demand and expect the very best products from us. Up until now, there has not been an awning available anywhere in the world that meets our expectations, hence we went about building the 270 Awning ourselves.”

Origins of the Boss RT1

Origins of the Boss RT1

15 years ago, we built our first rooftop tent back in 2006 and various custom versions over the following years. We were continually asked by our customers when we were going to release a production model to the market. So in 2017 we made the decision to make it happen. This led to 36 months of R&D with hundreds of hours being spent in the design, prototyping, development and product testing (the part we love best).

The design process of our RT1 began in 3D CAD, with around 8 versions being made before the final design was settled on. We wanted something that was built super tough to handle our harsh Australian conditions, have clean lines to help cut through the air, and look good.
