OVS XD Nomadic 315 Degree Awning
OVS XD Nomadic 315 Degree Awning
The OVS XD Nomadic 315 Degree Awning is built for overlanders who want fast, reliable shelter with maximum wraparound coverage. At 315 degrees, this awning covers more of your vehicle than a standard 270, wrapping shade along one side, across the rear, and partially along the opposite side. The quick-deploying freestanding design uses a heavy-duty hinge system and rivet-free boxed aluminum truss arms to hold itself up without poles. Swing it open and you have 52 square feet of shade in seconds.
What sets the XD Nomadic 315 apart: blackout-coated 320G ripstop polycotton fabric that blocks heat and light for cooler shade, a 5000 PU waterproof rating for all-weather protection, an included LED lighting strip, an included awning organizer, and an integrated C-channel for mounting accessories. The closed dimensions are just 55" x 7" x 7", keeping the profile tight on your rack. Backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty and a 6-year fabric warranty.
320G Rip Stop Polycotton
Premium 320G ripstop polycotton fabric handles years of hard use, UV exposure, and repeated deploy-and-stow cycles. Polycotton breathes better than full synthetic fabrics, reducing condensation on the underside during humid conditions. Rated at 5000 PU waterproof with heat sealed seams for all-weather protection.
Blackout Under Coat
The blackout undercoating blocks heat and light from penetrating through the fabric, creating noticeably cooler, darker shade underneath. Standard awning fabrics let a lot of sunlight through, making the shaded area feel hot and bright. The blackout coat solves that. You feel the temperature difference immediately.
Rivet-Free Truss Design
The 2-stage black powder-coated boxed aluminum arms use a rivet-free truss design with a heavy-duty steel hinge plate. No rivets means no shearing under repeated stress. The truss structure distributes load evenly across the arm, preventing the bending and flexing that causes cheaper awning arms to fail over time.
Included Awning Organizer
The included awning organizer attaches to the awning frame and keeps camp essentials within reach: lanterns, utensils, cups, phones, and other small items. An integrated C-channel on the frame also accepts light strips, additional organizers, and aftermarket accessories. No drilling, no modifications.
840D Waterproof Travel Cover
The 840D heavy-duty travel cover protects the awning fabric from dust, moisture, and road debris during transit. It stays on the awning when stowed and keeps everything clean between deployments. Closed dimensions: 55" x 7" x 7". Compact and low profile on your rack.
Quick-Deploying Freestanding System
The heavy-duty hinge system and boxed aluminum truss arms hold the awning rigid without poles for quick stops and short deployments. For overnight stays or stronger wind, deploy the adjustable pivoting support poles with twist-and-lock technology (up to 7.5 feet) and stake down with the included guide lines and heavy-duty stakes.
More Features
315 Degrees vs 270 Degrees: The extra 45 degrees of sweep wraps coverage further around the front or back of your vehicle compared to a standard 270. If you have ever parked and wished your 270 awning extended just a bit further to cover the front quarter panel or wrap more of the tailgate area, the 315 addresses that. It creates a more enclosed shelter zone without needing wall panels.
Included LED Lighting Strip: An LED light strip is included and mounts to the integrated C-channel on the awning frame. Provides functional camp lighting after dark without buying a separate light. Powered via USB, so you can connect to a portable power station, battery bank, or vehicle USB port.
Adjustable Pivoting Poles: Twist-and-lock technology adjusts pole height up to 7.5 feet. Rubber non-slip feet keep the poles stable on any terrain. Velcro straps secure the drop-down legs when they are not in use so they do not rattle or swing during transit.
Stainless Steel Hardware: All hardware is stainless steel, built to withstand the elements without rusting or corroding. This matters if you camp near salt water, in humid climates, or in environments where corrosion is accelerated.
Guide Line Attachment Points: Dedicated attachment points for running guide lines from the awning to the ground for added stability in windy conditions. Guide lines, ground stakes, U-bolts, nuts, ratchet straps, screws, washers, and split lock washers are all included.
Mounting & Brackets
Fits any vehicle with a factory or aftermarket roof rack. Confirm your rack's weight capacity prior to installation. The closed footprint measures 55" x 7" x 7". Mounting hardware is included.

The 315 sweeps further around the vehicle (315 vs 270 degrees), uses heavier fabric (320G vs 280G), has a higher waterproof rating (5000 PU vs PU-2000), includes a blackout undercoat, LED lighting, awning organizer, and an integrated C-channel. The 270 LT provides more total square footage (80 vs 52 sq ft) and a longer closed footprint (83" vs 55"). Choose the 315 when you want more wrap, better fabric, and more included accessories. Choose the 270 LT when you need maximum square footage and a lighter weight.
Pros
- 315 degrees of wrap: 45 degrees more coverage than standard 270 awnings
- Blackout undercoat for noticeably cooler, darker shade
- 5000 PU waterproof rating, significantly higher than most competing awnings
- Rivet-free truss design eliminates the most common failure point on awning arms
- LED light strip, awning organizer, and integrated C-channel all included
- Compact closed footprint (55" x 7" x 7") keeps profile low on rack
- Limited lifetime structural warranty + 6-year fabric warranty
Cons
- 52 sq ft of total coverage is less than the 80 sq ft on the Nomadic 270 LT. The extra degrees of wrap come at the cost of total canopy area
- Only available in one side configuration. Verify it deploys on the side you need before ordering
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 315 degrees mean?
A full circle around your vehicle is 360 degrees. The XD Nomadic 315 covers 315 degrees of that circle, wrapping shade along one side, across the rear, and partway along the opposite side. A 270-degree awning covers one side and the rear only. The extra 45 degrees on the 315 creates a more enclosed shelter zone, reducing the gap where sun and wind can get in.
Is the XD Nomadic 315 freestanding?
Yes. The heavy-duty hinge system and rivet-free boxed aluminum truss arms hold the awning rigid without poles for quick stops and short deployments. For overnight stays or windy conditions, deploy the included adjustable pivoting support poles and stake them down with the included guide lines and heavy-duty stakes for added stability.
What is the blackout undercoat?
The blackout undercoating is applied to the underside of the 320G polycotton fabric. It blocks heat and light from penetrating through the canopy, creating shade that is noticeably darker and cooler than standard awning fabrics. Without a blackout coating, sunlight passes through the fabric and heats the air underneath. The blackout layer prevents that.
What is the rivet-free truss design?
Most awning arms use rivets to join aluminum panels. Rivets are the most common failure point on awning arms because they shear under repeated opening and closing stress. The XD Nomadic 315 uses a rivet-free truss design with a heavy-duty steel hinge plate instead. The truss structure distributes load evenly across the arm, and the absence of rivets eliminates the shearing risk. This is a structural upgrade that directly impacts the awning's long-term reliability.
Can I mount accessories to the awning frame?
Yes. An integrated C-channel runs along the awning frame and accepts LED light strips, organizers, and aftermarket accessories. The included LED light strip and awning organizer both mount to this channel. No drilling or modifications needed. You can add third-party accessories that are compatible with C-channel mounting as well.
