Love that it mounts to my roof crossbars and it is out of the way so I can use my crossbars for other gear. Love the size but a little difficult for me to set up; take down is easier by myself. Will need leg tie-downs or weights. As an older female, it is pretty heavy to lift above my head and mount on the crossbars myself but it can be done. Took it on my almost 4,000 mile trip this summer, didn’t end up using it but was glad to have it just in case. It is nice to use in conjunction with my camping trailer awning, too. Great product for the price.



by:

Installation was quick and easy.



by:

I’m a Yakima user for many years, this seems to be on par with everything else they make. Which is top notch. It was easy to install and easy to use. Might need two sets of hands on a windy day. But so far I love it.



by:

Easy set up



by:

I put it on a New Camp teardrop trailer with a Yakima roof rack. Fits perfectly!



by:

Bought for my 2021 nucamp tag and love it. Quick and easy setup and provides an awesome place to just sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. Easy installation and quality build. This is for sure a great product.



by:

Excellent service, my awning is working well and has held up well. I have used retailer several times and spoken to their customer service and they helped me save money.



by:

Fast service and product arrived within a couple days of ordering.



by:

Got my order 2 days early!! Packaged well and had it installed in about 20 min. Works great!!



by:

Short and sweet. Awesome!



by:

I sent this item back to you because when it arrived it was partially out of the box and it was apparent it had been someone else's return as it was just shoved back into the box with no care. When I sent it back to you I advised to cancel the order, and that I would source one from a different vendor. The next day you advised a new one had been reshipped requiring me to make several phone calls back to you to cancel this order before it was delivered to me. Fortunately, you were able to intercept the order while it was still close to your home city. I was not pleased with this transaction and felt that in your desire to get things shipped out, you cut corners on the quality of packaging and due care to send out the item in a new and undamaged condition. I also feel your customer service is lacking in that you do not listen to the customer. This was evidenced by having to talk with several individuals to repeat the same message several times for the return, and to get the new unsolicited order cancelled.



by:

It appears to be well made. I ADJUSTED the installaton three time.



by:

Quick shipping. Tracking information is at another level!!! Good pricing and tech support. I don't do reviews. This one is justified. Will be a repeat customer. 5 freaking stars.



by:

The rubber gasket to hold the poles is not adequate.

by:

I love it!

Very well constructed.

  • Awning Recommendation for a Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack on a Truck Bed Camper Shell
    There isn't a mount kit or way to attach the Sunseeker II awning RR32105 to Yakima Core Bars. The telescoping poles have a max height of 77 inches. Since the Sunseeker can't be installed I recommend the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR which will fit the core bars. The maximum height of the support poles for this awning is 84 inches.

  • Can Rhino Rack Batwing Awning Attach to 2019 Toyota Rav 4 Adventure with Factory Crossbars
    We have a roof rack awning that does fit the factory crossbars of your 2019 Toyota RAV4 as the Yakima SlimShady part # Y36VR but the Rhino Rack Batwing you mentioned requires a roof rack that has top channels so you'd have to add that as well. You could add the Malone roof rack part # MPG216 to the raised side rails of your roof and you'd be ready to use the Batwing.

  • How to Mount Awning on Yakima LoadWarrior on 2022 Toyota 4Runner
    An awning like the Yakima SlimShady # Y36VR can be mounted directly on your LoadWarrior. However, there are no brackets that will allow you to mount it on the side. Brackets like the # Y84AR you were looking at are designed to fit in T-slots so they will not work with the roof basket. Also, your factory crossbars do not have enough space to attach the awning next to the roof basket. The SlimShady is the best option since it can clamp onto the LoadWarrior like it would your crossbars. See...

  • Roof Rack Mounted Awning that Has Mosquito Net Available
    While there isn't a mosquito net for the Yakima SlimShady part # Y36VR that you referenced the very similar Thule Tepui Tent part # TH8002AW604 does have one available with the part # TH8002X1001. The Tepui is a similar size roof rack mounted tent that would work great.

  • Yakima Slimshady Awning Fit with Rhino-Rack Lower Profile Mounts
    The Mounting Kit for Rhino-Rack Foxwing Awnings - Square and Round Crossbars # RR31105 is simply the square or round bar u-bolt kit. The taller portion of the mount is actually a discontinued part and does not come in this kit. It sounds like you are looking for something like the Angled Down Mounting Brackets for Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32127 which haven't been tested with the Slimshady awning # Y36VR so I can't confirm the fit.

  • Will the Yakima SlimShady Awning Work with Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars
    I do have an option for you but the Yakima SlimShady Awnings like part # Y36VR won't fit the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars and there is not an adapter to make this work. The Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars aren't like standard crossbars, they are much thicker as they are designed more for work type applications like hauling ladders or lumber. The easiest solution would be to switch crossbars to the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like part # RRVA150B-2 which will...

  • Will Opening and Closing Yakima Y07409 SlimShady Roof Rack Mounted Awning Be Easy for One Person
    As long as you can reach the side edge of your roof rack on your Outback, one person should have no difficulty whatsoever opening and retracting the Yakima # Y36VR roof rack mounted SlimShady Awning. As you can see in the video I've linked for you, the awning system is pretty easy to install and use.

  • Will the Rhino Rack Batwing Awning Work with Yakima CoreBar Crossbars
    I do have an option for you but the Rhino Rack Batwing Awnings are designed to mount in top channels so they won't work with the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars. Instead, I recommend the Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y56VR, part # Y36VR, or part # Y96VR which uses wraparound clamps so no top channel is needed. These won't offer as much coverage as some of the Batwing awnings but they are still great options for getting in the shade. If you are set on the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning like part #...

  • Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima Slim Shady Awning
    I have a solution for you, but those parts are not available from Yakima at this time. Instead, you'll need to replace the entire assembly on your Yakima Slim Shady Awning # Y36VR. You can use the Replacement Clamp Assembly for Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # 8880737.

  • Thule 10 awning for 2020 Subaru outback onyx XT
    Unfortunately there are not any aftermarket roof racks that fit the 2020 Subaru Onyx XT due to the roof rack system that is already installed from the factory. The Thule HideAway Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Waterproof - 80 sq ft # TH490010 cannot attach to the factory roof rack on your vehicle. For an awning that will attach to your Subaru Outback's factory roof rack you can go with the Yakima SlimShady Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 42 Sq Ft # Y36VR or the larger Yakima SlimShady...

  • Roof Rack Awning that Can Attach to Yakima Round Bars

  • Awning to Fit Camper with Raised Rails on Roof
    The type of awning that's going to work best on your camper is one that will attach directly to the sidewall of the camper like the Thule Hideaway part # TH490011 for a 10' long x 8' wide awning or # TH490018 for a 8-1/2' long x 6-1/2' wide awning. This won't require any attachment or integration with the rails you have now on the roof of the camper and gives you a solid awning setup. There isn't a solution that would attach to the rails you have currently also.

  • How to Add Awning to 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Sky One-Touch Top
    So you can definitely add an awning to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the Sky One-Touch top, but not with the direct-mount Hideaway; you'd need to add a roof rack and then an awning that attaches to the crossbars of the rack. So first, for the roof rack, here is what you'd need: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Silver # RRVA150S-2 or Black # RRVA150B-2 - Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount # RL210S2 - RLTP Leg Adapters # RRVA-FK1-2 You will still be able to open the...

  • Installing Longer Yakima HD Crossbars on an Overhaul Ladder Rack for a SlimShady Awning
    For your 2019 Chevy Colorado you could use the the 68" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01158 or the 78" Yakima HD Crossbars item # Y01159. Your truck bed being 74" inches wide would only have them sticking out a couple inches on either side. You may want to confirm but our Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 for your Colorado comes with 68" Crossbars. If you have 55" crossbars you will definitely want to add longer ones to your setup or you will use up over...

  • Awning and Screen Room for 6 x 8-foot Runaway RangeRunner Compact Trailer
    The 6 x 8-foot Runaway RangeRunner compact trailer has a fairly low exterior height so standard RV awnings that mount to the side of a trailer would be too low. If you were to install a roof rack on the trailer, such as the Swagman Roamer LT # S80510, you could then use a vehicle awning such as the Yakima Slim Shady # Y36VR which will attach to the Roamer's square bars. Its very light 20-lb weight means little added stress to the Runaway's roof. It measures 6-1/2 x 6-1/2-feet. If you'd...

  • How Much Bar Space is Needed for Yakima SlimShady Awning
    I don't know the length of your bars but the answer is definitely yes. Bike carriers generally don't take up a lot of bar space and the Yakima SlimShady awning, part # Y36VR, only takes up about 4-1/2 inches when it's folded in. Also, if you'd like the SlimShady can be mounted on the bars outside of the feet as long as the bars stick out is at least 3 inches past the feet.

  • Awning Compatibility With Yakima Overhaul HD System
    Since we don't sell ARB products, I'm unable to tell you with any certainty whether or not you can make this work; Yakima also doesn't test their products with other manufacturers. If you're trying to use the T-slot mounting channel on your Yakima Overhaul HD system # Y01151-58, you'll need to use whatever T-slot hardware that ARB has available; the T bolt heads Yakima uses are roughly .7" square. If you're wanting to use a clamp on setup, the Yakima HD bars are 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall, so...

    While we have a couple great options for you, we do not carry a roof rack system that installs into your door jambs for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab. However, with that being said, we do carry a drill-on option. If you wish to go this route, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B. If you want to go with an option that doesn't require drilling, I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Not only does the Monkey Bars...

  • Can I Use Yakima SlimShady Awning With Yakima LocknLoad Platform?
    Yes! It will work on the Yakima LocknLoad Platform # Y42AV that's on the factory crossbars on your 2021 GMC Yukon. The Yakima SlimShady # Y96VR will attach to the side rails of your platform. Note that the awnings come in different sizes, so make sure to get the length that matches your platform and your needs. # Y56VR - 30 sq ft # Y36VR - 42 sq ft # Y96VR - 64 sq ft

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