Side Awning
Side Awning - please could anyone advise me first off what’s a decent one to look at and what fixings I’d need if i were to look at fixing a side awning to the LR roof rack

To complicate i have the ladder fitted too !

Thanks appreciate your advise / feedback Thumbs Up

I had an awning from Ironman fitted, however neither the rack company nor i could find any mounting brackets that did not
require packing with spacers or washers due to the shape of the expedition rack. I ended up having these fabricated so i got
a nice clean fit to the bar. The company that did the fabrications as had a few orders since i posted this on the owners group
on FB

should lessen the number of times i have to re-tighten everything after a few thousand K's on corrugations as well,
spacers and washers would only add to the angst of having to keep getting the "spanners/socket set" out yet another pommie bar steward down under
