Question:
It is unclear to me from the video on etrailer.com as to which crossbars are compatible with the Rhino Rack free-standing awning? Specifically, can the awning be mounted to the Rhino Rack Aero Bars? Thanks.

Thanks for your question, Stevan!
The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Freestanding Awning part # RR23AG can in fact be mounted on the Rhino Rack Aero crossbars. The awning will attach via the t-slots on the crossbars. You do want to make sure that your crossbars are at a minimum of 61" apart but no more than 102" apart. I included a little diagram of the crossbar spread below for you.
Do you already have Rhino Rack bars on your truck?

Hey Stevan, how did things go mounting the Sunseeker awning to your Rhino-Rack Aero crossbars? Did the t-slot connection line up well with your setup? Your update could make it easier for the next person working with the same bars.
