Hey Tara! That is a good question! Thankfully, Napier does specifically state that Napier Sportz SUV Awning part #NA99FR will work with minivans. Since the tent secures around the rear liftgate hatch it won't interfere with the sliding doors. The…
Hey Don, yes the Kelty Backroads Car Awning with Side Walls #KE98KR would work on your 1995 Rialta as this is a universal enough design that it would fit and work great. I attached a picture of it installed on a similar high roof van to your RV as…
Good question, and I verified with Yakima the dimensions. As you can see in the accompanying photo I made for you, the SlimShady does extend out 6-1/2 feet from the car and is 4-1/2 feet wide mounted. The correct part number is the following: -…
The Rhino Rack #RR32133 Sunseeker Awning is rectangular. The longer dimension is the width, at 8 feet if your're looking straight at the side of the vehicle. The awning extends out from its attachment point away from the vehicle by almost 7 feet.…
Hey Kraig, Along with the 1-1/2" wrench or socket, most installers use a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" wrench on the flats, or a larger adjustable wrench for the flat portion while the nuts are being torqued on the #C40004. What are you going to be…
To install the replacement clamp assembly #8880737 and bracket #8880736 on the Yakima SlimShady Awning #Y36VR, there are two t-bolts that are inserted into the upper channel of each side of the SlimShady rail. You would then place the clamp onto the…
Hello Jeremy, Thanks for reaching out. I do have a couple options that could work for what you’re looking to do, though I want to set expectations up front that one option isn’t available in black and the other depends a bit on how your trailer is…
Roof rack options for your 2014 Chevrolet Express Van with rain gutters are displayed on the linked page and these include products from Inno, Rhino-Rack and Thule. As you review the rack systems you will notice that their weight ratings vary…
Hey Amy, thanks for reaching out! You’re definitely thinking about this the right way, especially with the height of your camper. Between the Thule Basin #TH32VY and the Basin Wedge #TH92VY, both will work on your setup, but with your camper sitting…
I do have options for you for a rear awning but these are rather niche, most as you have come to find out I'm sure are for the side. The only options we have for the rear are universal, the Kelty Sideroads Car Awning part #KE38KR or Kelty…
No long-term contract, Natalie - but a service plan is required to use the trackers. When you buy the 3000 with wifi assist #PM84FR, 5000 #PM64FR, or 5000 with wifi assist #PM74FR from etrailer, you’re purchasing the hardware/device only. To activate…

Absolutely fantastic. I placed my order Saturday afternoon, and got a confirmation Monday that it had been shipped. UPS Ground arrived Wednesday afternoon, and I could track it all the way. When it arrived, EVERYTHING was there. No back orders. And the quality was outstanding. My son was impressed with the merchandise and service, and will be ordering his own receiver soon. I rate this 5 stars! Thanks.

Car Awnings for Roof Racks and Camper Sides
Set up shade fast for road trips and campsites. Choose a mounting style that matches your gear—clamp-on or T-slot crossbars, bed racks, or wall-mount with the right adapter for vans and trailers. Pick a freestanding design for quick deploys or go with support legs; compact lengths are easier to handle solo, while longer spans cover a full side.
Read the directions and check door clearance—close side doors before reeling out. Some roof-mount styles use a foam rubber gasket to eliminate potential rattles while driving and reduce rain leaking under the awning. Placing the case into adapter brackets can be trickier than written—test-fit the procedure first. Apply adhesive to bracket areas if your adapter calls for it.
Yes, mount it to the wall instead of the roof. With a pop-top you can't use top-mount brackets, so use a wall-mount adapter and expect drilling. Positioning above the sliding door on the passenger side works. Verify the adapter is made for your van and follow the drilling pattern in the instructions.
Freestanding awnings deploy quickly without folding out legs or tying down every time, which helps when fast storms roll through. Pick driver or passenger side to clear a rooftop tent that opens to one side. Simple L-bracket style mounts add versatility if you plan to move the awning between vehicles.
Yes, a shorter awning is easier to handle alone and installs quickly on factory crossbars. Setup at camp can feel slightly awkward but is doable solo. In a brief lull during a rainstorm it can be deployed fast and give enough coverage to sit and cook while staying dry.
It depends on the awning. Some clamp directly to crossbars; others require T-slot channels. If your OEM bars don't have T-slots, you'll need aftermarket bars for T-slot-only awnings. If you only have roof rails, add crossbars first—clamp-on styles can attach to 1 inch square crossbars.
