Aluminum Extruded Frame

The LX27 has a super tough fully seam welded lightweight alloy frame with a high quality powder coated finish, designed to weather the toughest conditions.  The 'Ezi-Slots' built into the top and bottom sections of the frame make fitting accessories a breeze, plus there is a unique sail track channel built into the side of the base section for easy attachments of canvas accessories like boot bags.

Dual Layered Canvas

The canvas on the LX27 is 260gsm/8oz polyester rip stop acrylic infused mould and mildew resistant.  To help reduce condensation inside the tent the walls are dual layered and with inner and outer canvas doors on the rear and side entrances.  Above the rear door under the rainfly is a meshed vent that can be opened to assist with airflow if you need to zip up all the doors in poor conditions.

Rainfly At Sides and Rear

The LX27 has a rainfly at the rear that wraps around to provide cover over the side entrances. The rainfly is attached to the tent with sail track on the rear and sides, but can either be rolled up or fully removed if not required. The rainfly is supported by heavy duty 8mm spring steel poles and has adjustable storm straps for heavier wind conditions.

Electrical Package

The LX27 has a stylish electrical panel that runs across the hinged end of the tent and the end of the mattress.  This panel holds a twin USB and Cig socket on either site and also has convenient pockets on either side for storing important items and a strip to secure the magnetic LED Tri-colour light. Power is supplied to the tent via an external 50 amp Anderson plug mounted to the underside of the tent at hinged end on left side.

Insulated Roof Lining

The LX27 has a durable and stylish insulated layer on the underside of the roof and riv-nuts preinstalled in all the internal roof beams to allow easy fitment of internal accessories like a Scirocco fan.

Internal Storage

The LX27 has a large set of roof storage pockets and two side pouches on either side of the tent and bottle holders on either side of the rear door.

Installation

A mounting bracket kit is also supplied with the tent.
