Best 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Car Awnings

The awning that I bought for my Mercedes sprinter fit very well easy install great quality thank you Bill

I will just email this review to you here. So far the Thule roof mount awning appears to be a 5-Star product. Just now have it installed. This awning is very nice. It mounts tight to the roof with a foam rubber gasket to eliminate any potential rattles while driving or rain leaking in under the awning when in use. It has a low profile to minimize wind resistance while driving. The adapter kit which secures the Awning to the roof of the ProMaster Van is excellent quality and attaches quickly and securely. However, placing the awning into the adapter brackets is not as simple as the directions indicate. Once you figure out the proper procedure required(which is a bit different than the directions) it all went together nicely. Here are a couple of pictures. from this morning's installation. Not a very nice day here so the pics are marginal. Hopefully you received the return awning ok. Thanks for you good service,

We replaced our Carefree awning with the Thule manual hideaway awning on our Travato 59G. It was an easy replacement and it did not require any modifications or calibrations. Another great side of the Thule awning is you can secure the awning with tie downs which protects the awning from instant surprising wind gusts.

Seems to be of good quality will see when we use a few times. The directions are terrible however

I've been on the hunt for this awning for over a year as its been out of stock. There are other options out there for the Sprinter van but this one was the best choice for my rack. You do need to purchase the mounting brackets separately, which come with different options for attaching to crossbars amd roof rails. I had some roof rail pucks laying around that I used to attach the brackets too. This is very versatile and can be set up with the legs on the ground or with the Thule optional brackets(Purchase separately) that attach the legs to the van..this is great if setting up on a hard surface or if you need to keep your dog on a lead and not get tangled up.the only tricky part for me is that my van is tall so once I get the awning out about 2 ft, I have to hop in the van and get the legs out- no biggie.this is very nicely made and easy to set up take down. Lots of optinal accessories as well

After a ton of research I chose the Hideaway roof rack mount awning for my Ford Transit van conversion project. The awning was easy to mount, (did so in about 1 hour with help of my wife). I mounted my roof rack mounting brackets upside down onto my home-made roof rack and it fits beautifully.

Excellent customer service! Great job everyone at etrailer!

One of the best purchases I have ever made. Easy to deploy and easy to retract. Installation is simple also. Impressive engineering

Best awning on the market! Bought it a year ago and went with it couple times. We took it for camping and drove couple thousand miles off the road, however it says its not for off-roading and it stood well, heard some rattling noise on the rugged terrain so I cranked and it there was no noise anymore. Also after setting the camp there was a strong wind and I was afraid it would break the awning as I did not use the pegs, awning arm was disconnected and there was no bend or break (thinking of getting sun shade and it will be more secure during the wind)! Don't know about the other brands but THULE is the way to go!

I was going to purchase an ARB awning until I saw the Thule. Perfect size for my 2020 Ford Transit Connect with crank out awning instead of the ARB's hand unroll and roll back up to store. Enclosed casing instead of a zippered bag as well as a quality build overall. The added cost for a quality product was well worth it.

Absolutely love this awning. Installation was an absolute riot doing it alone but I got it done. Deploying and closing the awning takes just a couple minutes alone too. A lot of folks complain about the plastic brackets -- but it's actually a genius design. If you get lazy and put the awning down without staking it -- a gust will blow it over and snap the brackets instead of bending the awning. They're super cheap and easy to replace; I just keep a spare set on me. 5/5 awning.

I love the awning although was very upset when I found out that the manufacturer did not offer brackets that would mount it onto my van, a Chrysler Pacifica. Also I had an incident where a gust of wind caught the awning as I was taking it down. The hinges that were made of plastic snapped . So they needed to be replaced. That was easy enough to do but should be made of a better material.

The awning is as described. It very useful. Love having it and love using it.

This thing is overall awesome. I had to get new crossbars for my Yakima with the T channel for it to more easily fit but once I did this thing screws on easily and stays put during driving 80+ MPH. Deploying is quick and fairly easy, but I have followed other's recommendations and secured the support arms to the ground as I go because the joints that connect the arms to the awning body are plastic and meant to break it seems. I haven't so far cracked one in windy places with this technique. Setting this thing up in parking lots, or rocky/hard ground places though is a bit more difficult. I've found that if I bring weights (kettlebells is what I have) and use the support ropes/cords to attach them to these, I can set the awning up fairly reliably and without too much risk of it blowing up and breaking. I wish there was some addon I could purchase, like weights that I could secure around the support arms so that they weighed down and I could use this in hard grounded areas more easily. One more thing is you can tell this is not fully resistant to UV and solar radiation. On high sun/UV index days you can still feel the sun while resting in the shade. So be aware and still use sunscreen or protective layers while using it in sunny locales.

Excellent product!

Arrived quickly, great product at a great price.

Easy set up

One year later review. I’ve had no issues with this awning. It is mounted on my overland teardrop trailer on an old Yakama round bar rack. It is equal quality to an awning I bought for my Tacoma from another brand, but almost three times more expensive. My takeaway: quality + low price = win.
