Question:

I have a Rhino -Rack Batwing Awning 34119 right to be mounted on a Sun Light Popup Camper without the hardware to install it. Any advise would be appreciated.

Hey Roy, welcome back! The mounting hardware available for the Batwing Awnings attaches to crossbars or platform racks. I don't have a way to attach a Batwing awning directly to the side or top of your Popup camper and Rhino-Rack doesn't offer any options either. You would have to customize brackets to do that. I have listed the brackets below that we do carry:

ARB and TJM Trays - Mounting Kit for Rhino-Rack Batwing Awnings item # RR31103

Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Batwing Awning Relocation Kit item # RR31102

Pioneer Platform Rack - Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning Mounting Bracket item # RR43259

Do you have crossbars or a platform of some type installed on the roof of your Popup camper? If so what kind?

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

My Sun Lite Popup Camper is older, with nothing on the roof but Solar Panels, and a fan. Will the Universal Etrailer brackets work if bolted to the roof or side of the Camper?

@RoyB No, those are for slide out awnings. I did some more searching and found the Rhino-Rack Universal Mounting Bracket for Roof Rack Awnings item # RR34FR57MR. These are designed to bolt to the top of the crossbars. They are not intended to be bolted directly to the top of your popup. This would definitely be outside what they're designed to be used for but they will work with Batwing awnings. I do caution you about the additional weight you're adding to your popup's roof. This is one of this situations you'll need to check with the manufacturer to see if your roof will support the additional weight. If you go this route, I wouldn't tow your trailer with the awning attached. I'd install it when you get to your campsite.

Looks like I need to manufacture a support system on the side of the Camper as it's a Popup, and need to keep the weight down. Thanks for your expertise in the field!
