Category: Comparisons
Compare the Condor 2 Air Awning and the Condor 2 Air Awnex XXL on coverage, mounting height, and included parts so you can choose the right shade setup for your Condor 2 tent.
Quick answer
Choose the Condor 2 Air Awning if you want to start with the awning alone and add wall and floor kits later. Choose the Condor 2 Air Awnex XXL if you own a Condor 2 XXL Air tent and want the complete awning, wall, and floor system in one purchase. Both require your tent to be mounted between 60 and 84 inches off the ground.
What each package actually includes
The Condor 2 Air Awning is the base awning only. It zips directly into your Condor 2 series tent and adds up to 82 square feet of coverage over the entrance. Wall and floor kits are sold separately, so you can decide later whether you need full enclosure.
The Condor 2 Air Awnex XXL bundles the Condor 2 XXL Air Awning, Wall Kit, and Floor Kit into one complete system. That means you get the full AWNEX setup in a single order, with no separate add-on purchases. The floor kit is one size and will not fully cover the interior on all setups, so expect some gaps depending on how you pitch.
Coverage and mounting height compared
The Awning adds up to 82 square feet of shade or weather protection. The Awnex XXL uses the same awning footprint but adds walls and a floor, so the usable covered area feels larger because you can sit inside it rather than just under it.
Both products require the tent to be mounted between 60 and 84 inches off the ground. That range fits most roof rack heights, but measure your setup before ordering. If your tent sits outside that window, neither awning will work correctly.
Color matching and tent compatibility
The Awnex XXL color matches the Air tents, which are black. If you own a Condor 2 XXL Air, the color will blend with your tent. The standard Condor 2 Air Awning is listed as fitting the Condor 2 Air series, so confirm your exact tent model before buying.
Neither product is a universal awning. They are designed to zip into specific Condor 2 tents, so check the fitment notes on each product page rather than assuming one size works across the line.
Trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Upfront cost vs. total cost: The Awning alone costs less initially, but adding the wall and floor kits later brings the total closer to the Awnex XXL price. The Awnex XXL costs more upfront but includes everything. If you know you want full enclosure, the Awnex XXL is the simpler and likely more economical path.
- Simplicity vs. flexibility: The Awning lets you start minimal and add components only if you need them. The Awnex XXL locks you into the complete system from day one. Choose the Awning if you camp mostly in fair weather; choose the Awnex XXL if you want a dedicated enclosed room.
- Tent model and color match: The Awnex XXL is built for the Condor 2 XXL Air and matches the black Air tents. The standard Awning fits Condor 2 Air series tents but may not color match every model. Confirm your tent model and color before ordering so the awning integrates cleanly.
Product facts
- Condor 2 Air Awning: The Condor 2 Air Awning zips directly into Condor 2 series tents and adds up to 82 sq ft of coverage; wall and floor kits are sold separately. You get a lower entry price and can add enclosure later, but you will need to buy the wall and floor kits separately to match the full Awnex setup.
- Condor 2 Air Awnex - XXL: The Condor 2 Air Awnex XXL includes the Condor 2 XXL Air Awning, Wall Kit, and Floor Kit as a complete system, and it color matches the black Air tents. One purchase gives you the full enclosed setup with matching color, but the floor kit is one size and may not fully cover the interior on every setup.
