fox wing / batwing questions

am changing my set up and going for a new awning.

does a batwing awning have to opened all the way round?

Presume it does, which is why I'm currently aiming for this
Safari 2.1 awning

or this
Alu Awn 2.1m
https://www.flatdoguk.com/alu%2Dawn%2D2%2E1m%2Dblack%7E2440

just wondering if it would work part the way opened when I've got the Kampa Travel Pod Tailgater AIR on the rear?

Thanks Smile formerly Disco3Ben

Have never only partially opened a Foxwing or Batwing.

If I was going to open out the first two panels only then I would want panels 3 and 4 strapped together and to panel 2. Panel 2 pole would need guying down. Remember the fabric from panel 3 and 4 would tend to hang downwards.

Thanks Brendan,
Hadn’t thought about the spare material hanging down. formerly Disco3Ben

Also looking at the Bat Wing. Will it attach to an Oztent RV4. If it does will It fit to both the standard and compact versions.

Sorry about the thread highjack Whistle

Andy the Batwing panel size and zip arrangement is the same as the Foxwing.

So if it fits to a Foxwing it will fit to a Batwing.

The zip size on both Batwing and Foxwings is 2.6 m which is the width of a RV5.

The RV4 is 2.4 m wide so will be slightly short on the zip but will work.

If you are close to West Yorkshire you will be welcome to come and look at the Batwing and Oztent.
