• 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.

• Clarifying Length and Width of Thule Hideaway Awning
  You have it absolutely right. The 6-1/2 foot width of the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490018 means where it will attach; the 8-1/2 foot length is how long it extends out away from the vehicle. I have added a link to the installation instructions of this awning for you to check out as well.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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....

• Does Thule HideAway Awning Come In An Electric Version
  The Thule HideAway Awnings, like the Direct Mount # TH490018, all have a manual operation. Since these are designed around camper vans that aren't as robust as a full-on RV Thule is trying to save on the battery life of the van. As van camping becomes more and more popular I can see an electric version eventually hitting the market but I don't have a date for that at this time. So if you're wanting to add an awning to the back of your toy hauler this is what you'll need to use.

• Adding An Awning To A 1995 Toyota Granvia
  Hello Devin, we do have a few options for you. The first thing that comes to mind is to just do a direct mount awning. The Thule HideAway Awning # TH490018 is a great direct mount option. You just need to have 8.5" of open space on the side of the van. If you prefer a roof mounted option, the best bet would be to install roof tracks like the Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTC14. You can then use the Track Mount RLTF Legs # RLTF along with some Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars...

• Will Thule HideAway Awning - Direct Mount Work on Rear of Toy Hauler
  So long as you have the needed 8-1/2 foot length across the back of your toy hauler, if you'd like you can install the Thule HideAway Awning - Direct Mount # TH490018. You'll need to be able to access the area behind the top rail where the awning will be install to secure it, but if you can do that then there's no reason why the HideAway # TH490018 won't work for you.

• Can Thule Hideaway Direct Mount Awning Attach to Side Wall of RV
  The fit for the Thule Hideaway awnings part # TH490018 and # TH490011 is still the same and can mount to the side of your RV. These are a wall mount/direct mount which means it easily can attach to the outside side wall of your RV without any issue. Obviously you are going to have to drill through the wall which is a permanent modification but it will still work just fine going that route. There hasn't been any hardware or fit info changes since my esteemed colleague Kyle spoke with Thule...

• 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'...

• Can Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning Install Without Crossbars
  The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker awning, part # RR32133, does require crossbars or the Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform, all of which are linked, to mount on your roof. It does install into the channel on a crossbars that have one, which many do, but not directly onto the tracks you already have. The picture you're referring to may be the one I attached. That's the Sunseeker installed in the channels on a the Pioneer platform. We do carry different sizes of the Pioneer that fit onto tracks like...

• 2022 GMC Savana Cargo Van Awning Option
  I have an option for you, but unfortunately we do not have an option that uses the gutter to mount. The only awnings we have that will work will either require a roof rack or direct mount (which will require drilling). We do not currently have any roof racks for the 2022 GMC Savana. For a direct mount awning we have the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490018. This would install directly to the vans sidewall and you would need the Vehicle Mounting Bracket Kit # TH1500602390 to complete the installatio...

• Option For a Mosquito Net For a Thule HideAway Awning
  There is no a great option for a mosquito net for your Thule HideAway Awning # TH490018. Not only is the Mosquito Net Walls # TH8002X1001 not the correct option for your HideAway awning, it also is not large enough. Really the only option that we have, would be to use the Rain Blocker G2 Front Panel # TH306454 (x2) and the Rain Blocker G2 Side Panel # TH306515 (x2) to enclose the HideAway awning.
