Did I really just install a kings awning????

Installed an Adventure kings 2mx3m awning on the side of My Ranger. I am not leaving the awning on there full time, and I'm only using it for the odd bit of shade or rain protection around camp so lets see hwo it goes

Thanks mate. You’re a legend. (The Prorack videos don’t cover the T17 bars.) I didn’t know about the channel bolts. They’re a game changer.

you will be very surprised with the awning, I run one on my camper Trailer we have the annex to go with it. It has been through a lot of hard weather, strong wind and rain and its not faulted at all. It's now 3 years old and still not a problem. just remember to drop one leg lower so the rain will run off and not pool in the middle.

Thanks, I have used it a couple of times now and have now taken it off for the winter as I won’t be out touring for a while. I’m pretty happy with it and the letting one pole down trick has been very handy

Great video. Good idea with the extra parts and position. Nice job

[@neilfrost9017]

Put a permanent marker line on the upright poles so you know how far to extend them. Save’s some time setting up.

[@OFFTRACK4X4OZ]

Thanks for the advice, hadn’t thought of that

[@hankcuccina5260]

I'm just about to my Kings awning on ,so your idea of using the Rola drop and turn nuts is terrific. Did you end up working out a quick release method/system.?

[@OFFTRACK4X4OZ]

Thanks Hank. I’m still looking at options to be honest, there are a few out there. If I end up putting a tub canopy on, I will get a 270 awning and will definitely need a quick release bracket system

[@jiniefox6126]

Thats man, pretty good tout. It would have been good to see you mounting it. Were you able to do it by yourself ?

[@OFFTRACK4X4OZ]

It was very simple to mount and yes I did it by myself. I loosely mounted the brackets, positioned it properly then tightened it up

Great video mate!

[@peterfarrar2330]

A lot of people slam Kings gear. It is cheap and usually worth every cent.
I have had 2 of their awnings on my 4X4's and can not fault them

high quality content

Wondering how wide your Pro Rack cross bars? Thanks

[@terrygreen76]

I have similar roof racks, can I ask why you mounted it to the top side of the racks and not the bottom side? Reason being is that you've effectively blocked being able to use the end point of the rack to ratchet strap something down on the roof. Just wondering if there is a design reason you did it that way?
And of course this video is 2 years old now, how is the awning going today?

[@OFFTRACK4X4OZ]

The awning is going great mate. Have used it a fair bit and it is still going strong. As for the mounting, I don’t put much on the roof apart from maxtrax so the mounting doesn’t bother me. I don’t really want weight up there so maxtrax and the awning is about it

[@terrygreen76]

@@OFFTRACK4X4OZ Good to hear it's still going great, I think I might have to bite the bullet and just buy one and work out how to get it mounted while still keep the ratchet strap point available. Thanks for the response 👍

I'm still trying to work out the achievements of this clip? Did I miss something? What the f. Go you! You managed to install a awning great job.. why take it back off?. Whats the point?
