I haven't seen that awning. Do you have a link to one?

Interesting looking awning. What kind of vehicle will you be mounting the tent and awning to? If using load bars I'd get something like this-

I am using BMW X5 with Thule load bars, so I end up attaching the awning to the end of the load bars with bolts. A little bit of work, mostly because the space is a bit limited for tools, but I think that end result is quite nice.
I suspect that I will have to come up with some solution to cover the gap between the awning and tent/car so that it would be fully rainproof, but we will try this setup now and see what modifications will be needed later.
I have to say that I found it strange that the awning did not come with any bolts to attached the mounts to the awning.

First test drive showed that something in the set-up starts to make whizzling noice at speed of 90 km per hour. I was hoping that my set-up would allow drive at motorway speed, so next step is to check that there is no unnecessary gaps anywhere and perhaps try plain nuts instead of butterfly nuts as well.
