Learn how to choose the correct replacement bag for your Oztent Foxwing 180° or 270° awning. Step-by-step sizing guide with fit tips and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick Answer
Choose the Foxwing 180° Awning Replacement Bag for your Series I or II 180° awning, and the Foxwing 270° Awning Replacement Bag for your 270° model. The bags are not interchangeable.
Why Bag Size Matters
Using the wrong replacement bag can lead to a poor fit, making storage difficult and potentially damaging the awning fabric or frame. Each Foxwing model has a unique folded size and pole arrangement, so the bag is designed specifically for that awning's dimensions.
Both replacement bags feature a new design that lets you store poles, pegs, and ropes inside the awning when packed. This adds bulk, so the bag must match the awning's packed volume exactly.
Step-by-Step Sizing Guide
- Identify Your Awning Model: Check the awning fabric or frame for a label that says 'Foxwing 180°' or 'Foxwing 270°'. If the label is missing, measure the awning when fully extended: 180° models are shorter and cover a half-circle; 270° models are longer and wrap around three-quarters of a circle. Common mistake: assuming all Foxwing awnings use the same bag. The 270° bag is longer and wider, so using a 180° bag will not close properly.
- Match the Bag to Your Series: Both replacement bags fit Series I and Series II awnings of their respective size. No adapter or modification is needed. The bag design is updated but compatible with older series. Checkpoint: If you have a Series I awning, the new bag works fine. No need to worry about compatibility.
- Choose the Correct Side Option: Both bags are available with a 'Choose Side' option during purchase. Select the side that matches your awning's mounting orientation (driver or passenger side) to ensure the bag's opening aligns with your setup. Common mistake: forgetting to select a side. If you skip this, the bag may not align with your awning's hinge position.
- Pack the Awning Before Inserting: Fold the awning neatly and store poles, pegs, and ropes inside the awning as the new bag design allows. Slide the packed awning into the bag, ensuring the zipper runs smoothly without forcing it. Checkpoint: If the bag feels too tight, you may have overstuffed it or chosen the wrong size. Remove items and try again.
