A wing awning mounts at one rear corner of the roof rack and swings out in a fan, covering the side of the vehicle and, on a 270 degree model, the back as well. That puts shade over the tailgate or rear door where a camp kitchen usually sits. Most are freestanding in light wind, with legs and guy ropes for anything stronger, and they weigh more than a side awning of the same length, so the rack’s load rating matters.
