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

Its been a yr and this has held up well. I contemplated removing this for the winter, not knowing if a few snow incidents or salty roads woulld cause issue..but I still camp in my van in winter and having the awning is always a great option. * I always make sure to try to clean off the top of the awning after its been deployed due to tree debris, Inects, etc getting wrapped up when closing.

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.

I'm extremely disappointed in customer service at Etrailer. I called regarding an issue with the telescoping hand crank getting stuck in the hole when pulling out or retracting the awning. I was told by Shawnee in customer service to call the manufacture, Thule.

Sometimes the fastest way to receive help is to contact the manufacturer. I, myself, reached out to Thule about what was happening with your awning and was advised to have you reach out to them as they would need pictures to help figure out what is going on with the handle.

by: Sean 07/07/2022 One Year Later

The install was a little tricky because I mounted the awning on a Roambuilt rack on my Sprinter and used NRS (River raft) u bolts around the RoamBuilt aluminum tubes. I needed to fabricate custom two part brackets for my set-up. The awning works great and looks good. It arrived with a bunch of aluminum metal shavings inside the plastic wrap on the awning inside the cardboard packaging, which had me worried that it was damaged or the awning would be ruined. I contacted etrailer about the shavings and they were just as surprised as I was, but offered to stand by as I tested and installed the awning. However, after a year of use, I’ve come across no problems.

We've used the awning dozens of times and it is so easy to setup/take down. It also survived Hurricane Helene out here in Western NC! It had trees come down on it, and scraped a couple low hanging branches trying to make our way out of Western NC after the storm and it has held up great!

Wow! You and the awning have been through a lot it sounds like. I'm glad it was just as strong as you were to get out of that hurricane. Glad to hear that you made it out okay :)

by: Jason 08/31/2021 One Year Later

Bought this knowing about the issue with mounting on Sprinter vans (prevents the crank arm from inserting vertically into the mounting slot), and used some rubber grommets on the end of the crank as a workaround, which has worked well. No complaints about the awning itself. It's been durable and opens/closes pretty easily.

by: Larry 02/06/2019

As advertised nice product very happy with install on my van rack. Product was well protected in its cardboard layers of boxing. As usual etrailer web site is user friendly and customer service during and after the shipment is spot on therefore I give a 5 star thumbs up.

by: Robert 07/09/2021

Worth the wait. Works perfectly in our van conversion. I mounted to roof rack’s t slots using a modified generic mount brackets.

Gotbabgreat deal on my awning. Took a while to get here but they stayed on top of it and its here..saved me some $$ too. Make sure you check if in stock
and what the expected lead time is if not in stock so you can plan accordingly. Happy with the overall product and service.

I put off buying this because of the cost. Worth every penny! Easy to install but guys! - read the directions! Its not hard to put out/in but again- read the directions the first time and close the side door to the van before you reel it out.The awning is wonderful and adds so much usable living space to our campsite. I wish I would have purchased this right away.

by: Shelby 04/23/2021

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,

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.

We bought a 2019 Forest River R Pod in Sept. 2022 with no awning because the previous said it was broken and he threw it away. I called to cancel an awning that was too short on Nov. 18, 2022 and ordered the 9' 10" awning and Alyssa told me we may not get it until next summer. I received an email over a week later that our awning was shipped, and we received it Dec. 9, 2022. It was very easy to install since the camper already had the Thule bracket on the camper. The weather also cooperated with installing it! These awnings are made in England and Alyssa told me the Thule is having difficulty getting orders done and shipped. I don't know what kind of strings e-trailer pulled but I was very happy we got it in a very timely manner. Very pleased with the quality and excellent service!

Ordering from etrailer has always been effortless. Prices are on point and free shipping doesn't hurt either. The awning went on in an hour using the kit that I also purchased from etrailer. Will return to their site for the other items I will need for my build.

Difference Between Thule HideAway Awnings TH490010 and TH490011
Hey Jon, thanks for reaching out! The Thule HideAway Awnings # TH490010 and # TH490011 are our part numbers for what you're looking at. The 490010 is designed to mount to a roof rack while the 490011 is for mounting to the wall of a trailer/RV so the correct one just depends on what you're needing to install the awning to. If you let me know, I'll be more than happy to see what other parts you might need for your installation.

Recommended Side and Front Panels for Thule HideAway Awnings
Hey John, welcome back. I have a solution for you but the 6' 6" Long x 8' 6" Thule HideAway Awning item # TH490018 bolts directly to the side of vehicles or campers. So you'll need to go with a bigger awning to work with your roof rack. The Thule HideAway Awning 8' Long x 10' Wide item # TH490010 will definitely attach to the Thule ProBars item # TH713700 you previously purchased using the Roof Rack Adapters for Thule HideAway Awnings item # TH490001. The adapter will attach the awning...

Comparing the Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning # TH490011 and # TH490010
The difference is that the Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning # TH490011 is a direct mount which you install with the included hardware while the Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning # TH490010 is a roof rack mount and it requires a roof rack for the installation. Other than that they are the exact same awning.

Are Adapters Needed to Mount the Thule HideAway to Thule Crossbars
Rebecca, which Thule roof rack do you have? It looks like you were looking at the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010 which is a roof tent and does not need adapters if your crossbars have t-slots. If your crossbars don't have t-slots, then you will need the Roof Rack Adapters for Thule HideAway Awnings # TH490001 which will clamp around your bars.

Awning Recommendation for Thule Square Bar Roof Rack
For the Thule square roof rack bars on your vehicle the Thule awning # TH490010 is a great option. You will also need adapter # TH490001. In either case you will likely need to push the Rola basket as far as it can go to one side of the roof rack so that there is space for the awning to mount.

Difference Between Thule HideAway Awning 630001 and 491010
You are correct, one difference between the Thule HideAway Awning # TH620001 and # TH490010 is the 8" difference in length. However, the main difference is in the application. The # TH490010 is designed to be mounted on a roof rack on your vehicle. The # TH620001 is specifically designed to mount on the roof of a ProMaster or Sprinter cargo van.

Distance Between Mounting Channels on Thule HideAway Awning Roof Rack Mount
There are a few different Thule HideAway Awnings available, such as the roof rack mount type like part # TH490010 or the direct mount type like part # TH490011. The roof rack mount type is the option which has the channels on the back and these channels are spaced 2-3/8" apart on center. The t-bolt that slides into this channel is the Thule T-Bolt part # 853-5715 which has an M8 stud.

Difference Between Thule Hideaway Awnings TH490011 and TH490010
Broadly speaking the difference between the two Thule Hideaway kits is that the # TH490011 is a flat mount that attaches to the side of an RV like you need whereas the part # TH490010 is for attaching to a roof rack. There are several smaller details between the two that are different so that each application fits as best as it can so you are correct they are slightly different. The brackets you ordered will show up. There's no reason why the kit would show up incomplete.

The Roof Rack Adapters for Thule HideAway Awnings # TH490001 are not designed to be used with other awnings other than Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010 or # TH490008. This is because the mounting brackets are designed to fit into sliding channels built into the awning itself. These channels are spaced 2-3/8" apart on center and use Thule T-bolts # 853-5715 which have an M8 stud.

Why is There a Small Gap When Closing the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010

I have included a couple picture of what the awning looks like closed up.
