• Which Thule Hideaway Awning Fits Wall of Ford Transit
  The correct Thule Hideaway Awning for a wall mount application would be the part # TH490011 as the part # TH490008 was designed to attach to the crossbars of a roof rack. Both of these come with all needed brackets for their applications.

• How Far do Legs Extend of Thule HideAway Awning and How Far Does it Stick Out When Retracted
  I reached out to the manufacturer, Thule, who told me the legs of the Thule HideAway Awning - Direct Mount # TH490011 extend 8 feet. These legs do fold up into the awning so you do not have to remove them every time you use the awning, which makes it easy to use. I have added a link to a video review which shows this occurring at about the 4:30 mark. The video review is for the roof rack mounted HideAway awning but the legs fold into the awning on the direct-mount as well. As far as how...

• Awning Options for an In-Bed Truck Camper
  Hey Nessa, great question! We do have some shorter arms with the kit # LC351829 which has 61-1/2" long arms in a black color, and then we have a variety of awning fabric lengths and colors to choose from (see attached link). We also have some alternative awning options like ones that work with windows or the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 that mounts to a wall so it's a bit more universal than most other awnings.

  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.

• Recommended Awning and Screen Room for 20 Foot Long Cargo Trailer
  The Thule HideAway- Wall Mount Awning # TH490011 and Solera awnings like the 12V XL Power RV Awning - 15' Wide - Extra-Long 9'8" Projection - Black Fade # LCV000334950-362243 are the only two awnings that are compatible with a screen room and they both have specific screen rooms that are compatible. I do prefer the Solera awnings since they come with a much larger selection of sizes available, where the Thule HideAway is only available in a 10 foot long awning and is compatible only with...

• Awning to Fit Camper with Raised Rails on Roof
  The type of awning that's going to work best on your camper is one that will attach directly to the sidewall of the camper like the Thule Hideaway part # TH490011 for a 10' long x 8' wide awning or # TH490018 for a 8-1/2' long x 6-1/2' wide awning. This won't require any attachment or integration with the rails you have now on the roof of the camper and gives you a solid awning setup. There isn't a solution that would attach to the rails you have currently also.

• How to Add Direct-Mount Thule Awning to 2018 Ford Transit T150
  While we can get you the right parts to add a Thule awning to your 2018 Ford Transit T150 van, it would be with parts that are different than what you mentioned, because those are not a fit for Ford vans. Instead, you would need to add a permanent, direct-mount to your van. You will be able to use one of the following awnings, with the only difference being their size, and they do come with mounting hardware for a permanent installation on your 2018 Ford Transit T150. - 55 sq. ft.

• Is There a Mounting Adapter For Thule HideAway Awning To Mount On Roof With 45 Degree Angle?
  While we do not have an exact mounting bracket to install the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 on your roof the Adapter # TH307887 looks like it is going to be the easiest to modify to fit your angled roofline. This mounting adapter has a rounded portion to fit a different roof but it should be fairly easily straightened with a vise. You could also bend the bracket slightly if it does not match the exact angle you need.

• Will The Thule Hideaway Awning Fit My Ford Transit Camper Van?
  The Thule Hideaway awning is a great choice for a Ford Transit. The primary use of these awnings is camper vans like Ford Transit or Ram Promaster. It will really come down to what size you want, and how much space you have available. The Thule Hideaway # TH490011 is 8' wide and comes with everything needed to mount to the side of your van. We also have it available is a 6-1/2' wide # TH490018. Either of these will fit your van nicely. Personally I would go with the larger size TH490011....

• Recommended Wall Mounted Awning for an Enclosed Utility Trailer
  The Thule HideAway Awning for ProMaster or Sprinter - Roof Mount - 12' 3" Long x 8' Wide # TH64WJ you mention is actually meant to be mounted on the roof and won't work the way you're wanting to use it. Instead, you'd want the Thule HideAway Awning - Wall Mount - Waterproof # TH490011 which is would be mounted to the side wall of your enclosed trailer. This is the exact same style awning as # TH64WJ, the only difference being it is a bit smaller measuring in at 9'10" long and 8' wide.

• Awning Recommendation for Rear of Covered Utility Trailer That is 8 ft Wide
  For what you are looking for the best option would be the Thule Hideaway Awning Wall Mount part # TH490011. This is 8 foot wide, has legs that would come down to the sides of the awning once extended and since it's wall mounted it would be the best option for your application above the rear door. I wouldn't necessarily call it inexpensive but most RV style awnings are on the higher end of pricing.

• Recommended Awning For A 2020 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 12' Camper
  For your 2020 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 12' travel trailer I recommend the Thule Hideaway # TH490011. This is a 9' 10" wide awning which is made to mount directly to the side wall of your camper. Looking at these 2020 Geo Pro campers, it appears you should have plenty of space to mount up an awning of this size. The support legs can be adjusted up to 10' tall, so this will be plenty tall for your camper. Thule also makes a quick fit tent # TH307060, which allows you to turn the 9'...

• Recommended RV Awning For A 2021 Winnebago Solis 59PX
  Since your roof extends up you'll want to go with a wall mount awning like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 to avoid any interference. This will come with carriage bolts and brackets to secure it to the wall of the vehicle. I do recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ to prevent any water from leaking in through the carriage bolts. I've attached an installation video below where Brad will walk you through the process.

• Mounting Thule HideAway Awning On a 2022 Winnebago Solis 59PX With Pop Top Roof
  I recently visited an RV show where they had an RV with the same style roof as your 2022 Winnebago Solis 59PX on display. It had an awning like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 attached and the brackets used looked custom made by the RV manufacturer. The mounts were similar to the Thule HideAway Awning Adapter # TH308960 as they do get drilled into the van. Be sure to check with your Winnebago dealer as well as I do see that they offered it with an awning from Carefree of Colorado.

• 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.
