180 TAILGATE AWNING — Rear coverage. Compact. Only 30 lbs. 

Perfect for: FSR Evolution & Aspen Pro RTT pairings · Truck tailgate setups · Smaller SUVs & crossovers needing side coverage · Compact builds where every pound matters 

The 270 and 180 V2 awnings mount to your rack rail and cover the side of your vehicle. The Tailgate Awning solves a different problem: it mounts directly off the rear of your FSR hard shell rooftop tent or rack and covers the space you're actually using — your tailgate. Three straps, no poles, and a 30 lb pack weight make it the lightest, most purpose-specific awning in the FSR lineup. If your camp life revolves around the back of your truck, this is the one built for it. 

Features:

Two Straps. No Poles. Unzip the cover, release three straps, and the awning is deployed. Freestanding design means no ground poles, no guy lines, no setup routine to learn. Tie-downs and stakes are included (and recommended) for windy conditions. 

Dual Mounting Options Mount off the rear of your RTT for direct tailgate coverage, or side-mount to a smaller SUV or crossover for lateral coverage — useful when a full-length 180 V2 is more awning than the vehicle needs. 

600D Oxford Ripstop — Waterproof The same 600D Oxford Ripstop fabric used across the FSR awning lineup, with a PVC exterior cover for protection when packed. Built for rain, not just shade. 

Integrated Dimmable LED Lighting USB-powered dimmable lighting keeps your tailgate area lit after dark. Battery bank sold separately. 

Compact When Stowed At 30 lbs and a closed profile of 59" long, the Tailgate Awning adds minimal weight and footprint to your RTT setup when packed — it just rides along until you need it. 

Optional Walls Available Add the 180 Tailgate Awning Walls (96") to fully enclose the rear of your rig — extra protection, extra privacy, or an additional sleeping space in the truck bed.

Great awning!

Worked perfectly on my recent trip out west. Provided shade to eat some lunch in the heat of the day and having the built in lights made meal prep easier for those late night meals on the tail gate. Also, I liked the light weight, every bit helps. Setting up and taking down was an easy process.

Great product, durable, well made but brackets should be included. Never bought an awning that the brackets were separate. Thats the only downfall.

The FreeSpirit Tailgater Awning is fantastic! I used to have a large 270 from a major brand, and while it was great, the Tailgater fits my truck camping mojo so much better. It’s quick and easy to deploy and stow, and the compact design makes finding spots between trees a breeze. Plus, the built-in lights are a game changer for evening setups.

If you’re looking for a simple, functional awning for truck camping, the Tailgater is the way to go!
