Awning questions

I am interested in getting an awning on my rig, but I don't have a rack. Instead I have my RTT mounted to Yakima load bars. I was wondering how the awnings like ARB and Camping Lab actually attach? Does anyone have pics of the mounting hardware or can you explain what method is used?

Thanks! :)

I certainly do have pics, and my Campinglab awning is mounted to the Yakima crossbars.

You will need some brackets like these.

And some U bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts.

I got the hardware from Fernando at Campinglabs.
Hope this helps your decision, I dig the awning.

This only works with my two outer bars, as there is some room there.

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed.

Have you used your awning in rain? I'm curious how much water would pool up in it, or if there's enough of a slope for it to run off?

Yes, I have used it in the rain.
I did not notice any rain pooling up at all.
Keep it set up with the poles lower to slope it, and it should run off.
