Hey Kristi, so to use the ARB awning part # ARB34FR on your Yakima LockNLoad platform you would just need to use the universal bracket kit part # ARB57FR and you'd be set. This will attach down in the channels on top of the platform.

Hi Jameson, thank you for your fast response. Can you suggest the parts I need to attach the adapter to my platform? It didn't come with these parts and have only connected eye bolts to it so far.

@Kristi You'd want to use the part # RR59TB and the part # RR65XB as that's what we used. It is odd it doesn't come with hardware.

Thank you so much. All these awning manufacturers sure make it difficult to figure out what you need to mount their equipment. Kristi

Hi Sorry for the additional question but was looking at ordering the tbolt and channel nuts like you suggested, but How do you tighten down the tbolt? What kind of tool is used for this?

@Kristi an open end wrench or a crescent wrench would be easiest. Unless I am not understanding your question?
