Why Choose an FSR Awning?
Not all awnings are created equal. At Freespirit Recreation, every detail is designed to provide dependable coverage, make your time outdoors easier and more comfortable. Here's what sets our awnings apart:
Lightweight & Compact
One of the advantages of an FSR awning is the lightweight build and compact footprint. With one of the smallest closed profiles on the market, the awning backplate won't eat up precious roof rack space. Making it easier to mount alongside other gear. The low weight also means less strain on your rack and your vehicle, a detail that matters when you're loading up for long trips.
Freestanding Design
When we say freestanding, we mean it. Our awnings are built to remain steady even in breezy conditions. And for peace of mind in heavy wind, rain, or snow, every awning comes with support legs and guy lines that can be staked out when the conditions demand extra security.
Smart Storage Solutions
The oversized awning bag isn't just storage. It's designed to keep you organized, with space for your poles, guy lines, stakes, and a dimmable light switch. The storage system is modular, allowing you to move around the smaller storage bags or remove them completely if you prefer to travel light.
Blackout Shade
Unlike thinner fabrics that let sunlight bleed through, our awnings feature blackout fabric that completely blocks harsh rays. Even under the midday sun, you’ll get cool, full shade without worrying about sunburn or heat creeping through the canopy.
Refined by Customer Feedback
Every iteration of FSR awnings is shaped by input from the people who matter most, our customers. From integrated lighting to upgraded storage, our latest model is built with the features customers have asked for, while maintaining a sleek design that looks right at home on any vehicle.
Shower Awning: Privacy & Comfort Anywhere
Going off the grid doesn’t always mean giving up comfort. With a Shower Awning, you get a lightweight, quick-deploy privacy shelter that doubles as a shower, toilet, or changing room. For those who travel often or spend extended stretches on the road, having a dedicated space like this can be a game-changer.
From rinsing off the dirt after a long day of mountain biking, to standing up and changing into fresh clothes without the awkward shuffle inside your rooftop tent, to having a private spot to take care of business when the campsite is crowded and facilities are scarce. A shower awning provides comfort and privacy exactly when you need it most. It’s the kind of small footprint accessory that makes a big difference in how comfortable and sustainable your adventures feel.

The zip-down vehicle access window makes it easy to grab gear or connect to your water system, turning a simple privacy shelter into a practical, multi-use space that feels like a must-have for camp life.
