Can I Mount an Awning on the Side of a Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket?

Question

Question:

Hi, Im looking at the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier. But also wanted an awning. Is there anyway to attach the awning to that basket? Even if I have to do some minor retrofitting? Thanks,

I have a solution for you but the awnings all mount on the crossbars so there is no way to attach one to the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier item # RRRMCB03. The basket is 58-1/4" long x 41" wide and the Yakima SlimShady Awning item # Y36VR will take up at least 4-1/2" on the crossbars. It depends on what size roof rack your 2005 Subaru Forester has but the listed crossbars for your vehicle are 46" long. I don't think they will fit together and it would be better for you to go with a smaller basket like the Steel Cargo Basket item # RMCB which is only 35" wide. Then you will have room for the Yakima SlimShady Awning item # Y36VR which fits nearly all round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.

If you would like to email me back with what brand, style, and size of crossbar you have I could make a more accurate recommendation.
