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.

Easy set up

No signs of wear after a year in AZ sun The cover protects very well



by:

We recently installed the Slim Shady on our 2018 Forester, with the exception of one of the support legs twisted so tightly that I had to struggle to get it to release the install was straight forward. We haven't used it yet but are looking forward to our road trip this summer.

Got my order 2 days early!! Packaged well and had it installed in about 20 min. Works great!!

I put the awning on my T@G camper and it has worked out great. I have used it a lot and have had zero issues with the awning. I put it up and down by myself and it takes less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend this product!!

This product is doing absolutely great. Love it every time I put it up



by:

The service and product from these folks was fantastic. Easy to deal with.



by:

Love that it mounts to my roof crossbars and it is out of the way so I can use my crossbars for other gear. Love the size but a little difficult for me to set up; take down is easier by myself. Will need leg tie-downs or weights. As an older female, it is pretty heavy to lift above my head and mount on the crossbars myself but it can be done. Took it on my almost 4,000 mile trip this summer, didn’t end up using it but was glad to have it just in case. It is nice to use in conjunction with my camping trailer awning, too. Great product for the price.



by:

I put it on a New Camp teardrop trailer with a Yakima roof rack. Fits perfectly!



by:

Easy installation. Looks nice. Can't wait to put it in use.



by:

I’m a Yakima user for many years, this seems to be on par with everything else they make. Which is top notch. It was easy to install and easy to use. Might need two sets of hands on a windy day. But so far I love it.



by:

Installation was quick and easy.



by:

Bought for my 2021 nucamp tag and love it. Quick and easy setup and provides an awesome place to just sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. Easy installation and quality build. This is for sure a great product.



by:

Excellent service, my awning is working well and has held up well. I have used retailer several times and spoken to their customer service and they helped me save money.



by:

I sent this item back to you because when it arrived it was partially out of the box and it was apparent it had been someone else's return as it was just shoved back into the box with no care. When I sent it back to you I advised to cancel the order, and that I would source one from a different vendor. The next day you advised a new one had been reshipped requiring me to make several phone calls back to you to cancel this order before it was delivered to me. Fortunately, you were able to intercept the order while it was still close to your home city. I was not pleased with this transaction and felt that in your desire to get things shipped out, you cut corners on the quality of packaging and due care to send out the item in a new and undamaged condition. I also feel your customer service is lacking in that you do not listen to the customer. This was evidenced by having to talk with several individuals to repeat the same message several times for the return, and to get the new unsolicited order cancelled.



by:

Fast service and product arrived within a couple days of ordering.



by:

Quick shipping. Tracking information is at another level!!! Good pricing and tech support. I don't do reviews. This one is justified. Will be a repeat customer. 5 freaking stars.



by:

It appears to be well made. I ADJUSTED the installaton three time.



by:

The rubber gasket to hold the poles is not adequate.

Very well constructed.

  • How to Mount Awning on Yakima LoadWarrior on 2022 Toyota 4Runner
    An awning like the Yakima SlimShady # Y36VR can be mounted directly on your LoadWarrior. However, there are no brackets that will allow you to mount it on the side. Brackets like the # Y84AR you were looking at are designed to fit in T-slots so they will not work with the roof basket. Also, your factory crossbars do not have enough space to attach the awning next to the roof basket. The SlimShady is the best option since it can clamp onto the LoadWarrior like it would your crossbars. See...

  • Adapter to Mount Awning on Thule Crossbars on 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
    There are a few different possibilities depending on what crossbars you have and what specific awning you would like to mount. If I had to guess you probably have Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 on your Outback Wilderness. If you wanted to use the RhinoRack Batwing Awning # RR33100 or # RR33200 no additional parts would be necessary. If you want a simple awning from Rhino-Rack like the Sunseeker # RR32133 then you would need mounting brackets. Both the angled up # RR32123 and angled...

  • Will the Yakima SlimShady Awning Work with Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars
    I do have an option for you but the Yakima SlimShady Awnings like part # Y36VR won't fit the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars and there is not an adapter to make this work. The Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars aren't like standard crossbars, they are much thicker as they are designed more for work type applications like hauling ladders or lumber. The easiest solution would be to switch crossbars to the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like part # RRVA150B-2 which will...

  • Which Roof Rack Awning Fits Standard Roof Rack Crossbars without Top Channels

  • Will Batwing Awning Work With Yakima Roof Rack With Round Crossbars
    The red arrow you are referring to in the accompanying photo is a part of the mounting hardware that comes with the now-discontinued RR32105, which is the entire awning and not just one part. You would not be able to attach a Batwing Awning # RR33200 or # RR33100 to your Yakima round bars; the best option for you is the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR which will work with round crossbars so long as they have a spread that is a minimum of 24".

  • Yakima Slimshady Awning Fit with Rhino-Rack Lower Profile Mounts
    The Mounting Kit for Rhino-Rack Foxwing Awnings - Square and Round Crossbars # RR31105 is simply the square or round bar u-bolt kit. The taller portion of the mount is actually a discontinued part and does not come in this kit. It sounds like you are looking for something like the Angled Down Mounting Brackets for Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32127 which haven't been tested with the Slimshady awning # Y36VR so I can't confirm the fit.

  • How Much Bar Space is Needed for Yakima SlimShady Awning
    I don't know the length of your bars but the answer is definitely yes. Bike carriers generally don't take up a lot of bar space and the Yakima SlimShady awning, part # Y36VR, only takes up about 4-1/2 inches when it's folded in. Also, if you'd like the SlimShady can be mounted on the bars outside of the feet as long as the bars stick out is at least 3 inches past the feet.

  • How To Install Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Awning
    In regards to the Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning part # 8880737, the handle on the side of the unit is used to tighten the c-shaped clamps around the crossbar. The rubber inserts inside the c-shaped clamps are then used to prevent the crossbar from moving around. In regards to how it attachs to the awning you will need the Replacement Mounting Bracket for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning part # 8880736. I have attached a few photos that will hopefully clarify...

  • Installing Longer Yakima HD Crossbars on an Overhaul Ladder Rack for a SlimShady Awning
    For your 2019 Chevy Colorado you could use the the 68" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01158 or the 78" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01159. Your truck bed being 74" inches wide would only have them sticking out a couple inches on either side. You may want to confirm but our Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 for your Colorado comes with 68" Crossbars. If you have 55" crossbars you will definitely want to add longer ones to your setup or you will use up over...

  • Recommended Crossbar Size for Yakima Overhaul HD on 2019 Ram 2500
    You really could use either one of the 68" # Y01158 or 78" # Y01159 bars, but I have a feeling that the 78" bars are going to stick out a little bit too far, so I do recommend going with the 68" Yakima HD Bars # Y01158. Obviously having longer bars means more space, but the usable space outside of the bars really isn't all that beneficial since it's not going to be able to bear heavier loads. The only time I would recommend going with longer bars in this case is if you were using an awning...

  • Awning Compatibility With Yakima Overhaul HD System
    Since we don't sell ARB products, I'm unable to tell you with any certainty whether or not you can make this work; Yakima also doesn't test their products with other manufacturers. If you're trying to use the T-slot mounting channel on your Yakima Overhaul HD system # Y01151-58, you'll need to use whatever T-slot hardware that ARB has available; the T bolt heads Yakima uses are roughly .7" square. If you're wanting to use a clamp on setup, the Yakima HD bars are 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall, so...

The dimensions of that tent are 55.1 x 57.5 x 13.0" which will not give you enough room on either side for the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR.
