Hello Cecily,
Welcome to etrailer, I'm glad you found us!
Yes, it is! I reached out to Napier to confirm, and the Napier Sportz SUV Awning # NA99FR comes with the long adjustable straps you’ll need if your vehicle doesn’t have a roof rack. The straps run across the roof and secure under the hood, so you won’t need to purchase an additional strap or anything separately.
I also attached an image from the instructions that shows how to use the longer strap, which should make it a little easier to see how everything gets secured.
Are you planning on using the awning mostly for camping, or more for day trips and outdoor adventures?
