    Does the awning cover touch or rub against roof paint?

    How did that awning on the rear turn out? Thinking of the exact same setup. Already have the Prinsu, now looking for some shade!

    @mpatrick did you find that the locking nuts were sufficient? I was thinking of using blue loctite on mine this weekend.

    Would like to know everyone’s personal review on the awning... I’m looking to get the awning room attachment as well.. how does it hold up against weather? Light winds etc.. hows the material? Looking to mount a 6’ awning to my prinsu when heading out.. I know it’s going to overhang but will just Split the difference like so....

    They are nice. I have the 4’ tepui next to my tent. I like the shade a lot. I went to Bryce Canyon last week and had a big storm hit while I had the awning out. Held up but got to the point where I wanted to put it away cause it was my first time having it out. lol other than that, loved it.

    How’s that Camper holding up with the RTT? Concerned about weight at all?

    Can you tell me how high (floor to top of rack) is the clearance? I notice you're in a garage and that clearance has been keeping me away from roof racks.
    Great write up also! Thanks.
