Moral of the story measure twice before going up on the roof! 🤣🤣 Loved it.

This was devised by one of our team Ian. He does a ton of great work around the shop and can do the work of two builders.

Nice detailed installation! Just installed mine today, wish i had seen your vid first. Getting those holes drilled just right is a challenge.

[@AVCRIG]

Glad you found us. Hopefully we can help on your next project.

Great idea checking mount position of plates first. Does the awning cover the sliding door when it’s open

[@AVCRIG]

It can. It’s really up to you and how far forward you want the awning mounted. If mounted at the front of the rack on a HR it’s a little back (about 1/3 not covered) on a MR it’s pretty much in line with the sliding door.

Please include a link to the two small tools, as you said, are the only tools you’ve found to make it an easy job.

[@AVCRIG]

They should be up now. Thanks.

[@shannagachen]

It doesn't look like it covers over the entire slider door, but maybe it was the angle of the camera. If it doesn't is there a solution to this?

[@AVCRIG]

You can install the fiamma forward and it still works fine it just doens't look as cool. Kind of looks like a fighter jet with it's mid air fuel port out. Some folks get wind noise with a cross wind depending on how far forward you mount the awning.

Slightly more data on why the holes in the center bracket were opened/lowered and clarification on the back mounting bracket only getting one hole and bolt would be helpful. Otherwise, nice video.....'FREEDOM UNITS"!!

[@AVCRIG]

They only provide three bolts. Each bracket gets one bolt. There are two holes since the brackets are interchangeable for either side.

[@AVCRIG]

As for opening the holes on the middle bracket, it just ends up low on our rack. It’s odd since it’s a straight line across the top. This has been the easiest fix.

Do you have a conversion to banana units?
