Best 2021 Ram ProMaster 1500 Car Awnings

Doesn't easily mount to Promaster. I have Thule's specific Promaster mount kit. Still don't have it installed and Thule hasn't been much help. Very disappointed.

well I ordered a 10'Hideway awning, instead I got a 10' thule omnistor 6300 awning, this did not fit my unaka 136"van rack. The adapter unaka brackets did not fit. so I retroed the aluminum brackets to fit, its not a great fit, but it works. I emailed your company to ensure I had the right awning, but the wrong one was sent.

When I received the awning it had been damaged in shipment despite the extra burly packaging. It had been severely bent in the middle but instead of returning it I decided to bend it back into shape with clamps etc. I was successful for the most part, there are only some ripples in the outer shell and one of the poles doesn’t extend freely. The installation was put on hold while I did body work on the van and had it painted. Then I got injured skiing and here we are a year after the purchase and have just installed it. Of course the mounting brackets don’t fit the shape of my ‘95 Toyota hiace so I shimmed them and they seem to work well now. (photos attached) The awning deploys easily and I am surprised how far out it extends. The poles can mount to your vehicle with the supplied brackets or go straight to the ground vertically depending on your situation. I look forward to taking it out camping to enjoy the shade.

A year later and with lots of use this has been worth every penny! I have used it a lot and its as nice as new. So easy to setup or “hideaway”. Truly love it!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I'm very happy with my awning. I have the Rhino Rack Pioneer roof rack so it was very simple to install with the included hardware. I wan't sure by the description if it came with the zipper for the optional extension, so I purchased that as well. Turns out it came with the zipper so I have an extra one if needed in the future. It's not as simple to deploy as some of the new ones hitting the market with automatic scissoring extensions that can hold themselves up without poles or guy lines, but it's also not as expensive or bulky as those models. Everyone has to choose what works best for them. I like this awning and it holds up well. The added effort in setting it up and taking it down does not bother me. If I were to see any design flaw it would be the use of plastic for the hinges that let the poles fold out from the housing. Nothing broke yet, but those make me a bit nervous when I'm setting everything up.

We bought this awning because we did a trip across America in our 1999 Chevy Diesel Suburban last year and used a 10x10 awning off the side at night, while it worked and stayed together the whole trip- it was still a 1/2 hour set up time, and there was a gap between truck and tent at all times. (Not great for rain). We plan on going back to the areas we want to spend more time, and this will allow us to have our shade/rain protection and a 5 minute set up time! The following pictures are of what we used (old system) to the new Rhino Rack Sunseeker 55sq ft awning from etrailer.com set up in the driveway- new adventures are in the beautiful future!!! Thank you to the awesome staff at etrailer.com for the great price, ease of ordering and fast shipping!

Great product at an affordable price. etrailer is my “go to” place for all of my towing accessories. Their prices, instructional videos and customer service all rate 5 stars.

Your delivery was so fast! The Slim Shady awning arrived in perfect condition and fit as advertised. You have a customer for life!

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.

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.

Excellent product!

Arrived quickly, great product at a great price.

I mounted this awning to the back of my pick up cap. I chose this one for the dome shape so the rear door of the cap could be opened under the awning with little interference. Feels well made. And the awning easily mounted to a Rhino Rack roof track to make it look stealthy and snug to the roof. Only negative, is the dome tent poles are difficult to install in the pockets, but I assume this will get easier with use and as the temperature outside increases. I should have bought some sand screws for the beach.

The Rhino-Rack Dome 1300 is a great addition to my Toyota Tacoma. I use my Tacoma for transporting SCUBA gear and the Awning is great for having shade at a dive site. Easy to setup and take down.

The Thule awning is a high quality awning that can easily be opened by an individual in 2 minutes. I installed it on my home built tear drop trailer in a couple hours using custom aluminum anodized mount brackets. It would be awesome if one could purchase just the awning for these types of custom applications. I'll save the key-lock Thule brackets in the event it gets placed on my Subaru.

The Awning provided shade and with the net tent added protected me kitchen from bees and wasps while cooking. Easy to install. On my Tundra I needed to reverse the mounting bracket to allow the bottom of the tent to reach the ground. It worked out perfectly.

We have had it a year now and the awning has been an excellent addition to our small camper. We just camped through the remnants of a tropical storm. 5+ inches of rain fell overnight and only the ground was wet under the awning (it was more like a river). Everything above ground under the awning was dry as it could be. Again, excellent product that’s relatively easy to set up and take down.

Made well and great design! Using on a truck camper to replace a retractable awning. Comes with a storage bag that is large enough to easily pack the awning, pole and stakes in when done. No undersized bag here, they thought this design out! Great price and great design!

Wish it went a tad lower

Definitely the awning to get for the smaller SUVs. Deploys easily for one person. Was also easy to install.

The compact size awning is the perfect size we were looking for to mount to our JKU. Great service and communication from trailer. Way to go!
