Set Up, Settle In: A Guide to the Supex Awning Tie Down Range
There’s an awesome moment on a camping trip when the driving is done, the chairs are out and you finally get to sit down and put your feet up.
The awning becomes your little patch of home: somewhere for breakfast, a book, a pair of sandy shoes and an afternoon that doesn’t need much of a plan.
Getting that space set up properly is worth a little attention. The awning tie down range brings together complete kits, individual ropes, straps, bungees and storage bags, with options for starting fresh or improving the gear you already own.
So, what’s actually useful for your kind of camping? Let’s pull up a chair.
Choosing suitable equipment, and knowing when to pack away matters.
There are stories all over the web and social media of midnight storms damaging awnings and annexes. Unsolicited tips, tricks and stories are a normal part of our society these days, so we want to be clear: follow your awning manufacturer’s recommendations, check anchor points as conditions change and pack the awning away safely ahead of strong winds or severe weather. Tie downs provide additional support; they don’t make an awning stormproof.
The Essential Kit: a sensible place to start
Picture a Friday afternoon arrival. There’s enough daylight to get comfortable, everyone’s hungry and you’d quite like the awning gear to be in one bag.
That’s the appeal of the Essential Caravan Awning Tie Down Kit. It combines reflective guy ropes, sail track loops with carabiners, barrel bungees, six 205mm screw-in hard ground pegs and a 13mm drill adaptor, plus canvas storage.
It’s a practical starting point if your main priority is the awning itself. It’s also suitable for camper trailer, 4WD awning, tent and gazebo applications, subject to compatibility.
A useful habit: keep the adaptor with the kit and check your drill battery before leaving home. Small preparation, fewer campsite rummages.
The Ultimate Kit: for the outdoor living room
Now imagine a longer stay. The mat goes down, the privacy screen comes out and the space beside the van becomes the place where you spend most of the day.
The Ultimate Caravan Awning Tie Down Kit adds equipment for that fuller setup. Alongside its ropes, loops and barrel bungees, it includes six 35cm privacy screen bungees, eight screw-in mat pegs with a T40 bit, and a mix of 205mm and 300mm hard ground pegs. Everything packs into a PVC-lined canvas gear bag.
At the listed prices, it costs $70 more than the Essential Kit. Its appeal is the extra screen and mat equipment, plus the different peg mix.
If screens and matting are regular passengers on your trips, those additions deserve a look.
Already have good pegs? Build around them
There’s no need to replace a useful collection just because you’re improving one part of it.
The Awning Tie Down Strap Kit offers a webbing option with adjustable cam buckles, steel springs and reflective patches. Its two straps attach through compatible 5mm or 7mm sail tracks, or using a D-ring around a suitable awning barrel.
This could suit someone who already owns appropriate ground anchors and wants adjustable straps. Check the attachment arrangement before buying, and remember that the listed 50kg capacity is a product load rating, not a safe wind-speed rating.
Prefer ropes? The Reflective Guy Rope Set contains two 3.2m ropes, each 6mm thick, with a compact storage bag. The reflective material becomes easier to spot when light catches it after dark—handy when you’re finding your way back with a torch and a toothbrush. It still pays to keep lines clear of walking routes.
The little connections that make a difference
Bungees and loops aren’t glamorous, but they help connect the rest of the setup.
Supex’s Awning Barrel Bungees provide a soft connection around suitable awning anchor points. They can also add spring to a guy rope arrangement, helping absorb movement. Each pack contains two 30cm bungees.
For screens, Privacy Screen Bungees come in two versions: six 35cm bungees or two 60cm bungees. Choose according to the distance between the screen and its anchor points, as well as the number of connections you need. Longer isn’t automatically better; measure the gap first.
The Versatile Sail Track Loops add attachment points to compatible tracks and include carabiners. Supex also lists hanging camp essentials as a use. That opens up some handy possibilities for keeping suitable small items within reach, provided your awning permits the load.

Price range: $24.95 through $59.95
Give the fiddly bits a home
Give the fiddly bits a home
Here’s an easy idea for the next trip: make one bag the permanent home for your awning hardware.
Pack it in roughly the order you use things, and check the contents before departure. Packing day is a poor time to discover that an adaptor has migrated to the shed.
The Heavy Duty Gear Bag comes in small and large sizes, with 400GSM canvas, a wipe-clean PVC lining, a mesh lid, a heavy-duty zip and reinforced handles. The mesh lets loose dirt and sand shake out, which is useful for campsite hardware.
