Most Popular Passenger Side for 2017 Nissan Frontier

Love this awning! I installed a Batwing awning on a RAM Promaster High Roof van. Had to purchase extended legs for it so they will reach the ground. It is great to be able to be protected from the elements at both the side and the back of the van and while moving between side and back. Some things to be aware of: 1) At least one ladder is needed for opening and closing the awning in this high-roof situation. And it is best to do it with 2 people. 2. With the crossbars mounted on the vehicle's standard middle and rear mounting posts, the awning does not completely cover the sliding door. The front 24 to 30" or so of the door is exposed. If the crossbars are mounted to the front and middle mounting points, most of the sliding door will be covered, but the awning will not extend as far out on the rear. 3. Rain will come through between the side of the van and the awning. The crossbars need to be shifted as far to the driver's side as possible in order to minimize the gap between the side of the van and the awning. 4. The height of these vans makes the awning even more susceptible to being pulled up by wind gusts. Make sure the awning is secured to the ground. This is another reason why it is best to open the awning with 2 people.

This is the one piece of camping gear that once it's set up people just come by and say "whoah". First off, it's huge and the amount of coverage it gives is amazing and makes single panel awnings just look silly in comparison. I love how easy it is to set-up which makes it a no-brainer whether or not to deploy it, always yes. Here's a few tips after using it for a year... If it's windy at all stake it down and if you have a buddy to help with setup all the better. These things are like giant sails and I've snapped a few of the hinge pieces due to big gusts and not staking it down. The GOOD news is that the hinges are designed to snap under load (instead of the more expensive arms) and are easily replaceable and you can do it with basic hand tools by yourself so keep the spares they give you in the stake pouch. You can extend the coverage with the zip-on panels ...or just get some spring clamps and attach a sheet/tarp/towel/whatever for the extra shade. I had someone come up and chat me up about the awning and he asked this simple question, "if you had to do it over would you buy this one again?". 100% yes.

As advertised, high quality product, super-easy installation with very clear instructions, this awning is a great addition to the rig I'm building. The 8' can be a bit challenging to deploy with one person but doable and it's totally worth the extra shade space especially in the AZ sun. etrailer is awesome as usual, easy ordering, great communications throughout.

So far so good! Everything came ready for a quick and easy install. Quality seems good and sturdy and mounting options allowed it to easily match up on the underside of my Yakima HD bars. Been deployed a few times so far and out on one camping trip. Over all I’m very happy with the sun seeker!

Haven’t had a chance to use it but install was very easy. One tool and about 10 minutes.

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.

This is my second Batwing awning and I would not camp without one.

smooth transaction Thank you!

Excellent customer service! Great job everyone at etrailer!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seems well made with reinforced corners and easy mounting hardware

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!

Great product with good mounting system. Options on how the supports get anchored. Clean slim profile when closed up.

What an awesome canopy. This is the one I’ve been looking for every since I purchased my 2020 palisade. I like to take my 2 young toddlers for day trips and just hanging out in back of the palisade makes it more fun for my kids they feel that they are camping. I would highly recommend this product.

unreasonably difficult to set up. specs are too loose... nearly impossible to stretch fabric over poles.
