Perfect for tailgating, outdoor markets, and camping, the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker provides shade anywhere you take your vehicle. The awning mounts to your Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform or crossbars with top channels. It is supported by built-in telescoping poles that let a single person set it up and break it down in minutes. Made of ripstop, polycotton canvas that is resistant to UV rays, water, and mold, the awning rolls out from either side of your vehicle to provide you with 49 sq ft of shade. With different awning extensions (sold separately), you can expand the shade coverage or even create a windbreaker. The Sunseeker's 50+ UPF protection has earned it an official endorsement by Cancer Council Australia.
The Sunseeker easily unrolls from your vehicle's roof to provide 49 sq ft of shade. Just unzip the storage bag and roll out the canvas. Once the horizontal supports are exposed, extend them to the outer edges of the canvas and connect them to the front of the awning.
The telescoping support poles are built into the awning, which means you don't have to attach each pole separately during setup. Simply unclasp each pole from the built-in clips on the awning and drop them into position. After this, tighten the poles to the necessary height and use the spikes at the base of each pole to secure them to the ground. You can also adjust the poles to different heights to suit any type of terrain or assist with rainwater drainage.
The awning includes velcro tabs that wrap around the horizonal supports to bring the canvas to full tension.
Once the poles are set, find suitable locations near the awning to drive the included metal pegs into the ground. Then, to fully secure the Sunseeker, attach the hooked guy ropes to the frame and secure them to the ground with the pegs.
Strong and lightweight, the awning's ripstop, polycotton canvas is UV protected and water and mold resistant. The telescoping poles and frame are constructed of black anodized aluminum, so they won't rust or fade when exposed to the weather. When not in use, all the parts are stored inside the heavy-duty PVC storage cover.
The included mounting brackets attach to the channels on the awning's frame and mount to your Pioneer platform or crossbars with top channels. Simply slide the nuts into the channels and tighten them down.
The Sunseeker has optional extensions to provide more shade and improve your outdoor experience. These extensions easily install to the awning by zipping to the outer edge or attaching to a horizonal support pole. And just like the Sunseeker, they use telescoping poles, guy ropes, and pegs to secure to the ground. They are made of durable, ripstop polycotton canvas which is UV protected and water and mold resistant.
The Sunseeker can be expanded with the 43 sq ft extension (RR32112 - sold separately), which attaches to the horizontal support pole on either side of the awning. With this extension, you can increase your overhead coverage or make a windbreaker or sidewall.
Using the 43 sq ft extension (RR32111 - sold separately), which easily zips to the front edge of the awning, you can either increase your coverage or form a windbreaker.

Canvas awning rolls out from either side of your vehicle to provide 49 sq ft of shade. Easy one-person setup with integrated drop-down poles. Bolts to your Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform or crossbars with top channels. Guy ropes and pegs included.So far so good! Everything came ready for a quick and easy install. Quality seems good and sturdy and mounting options allowed it to easily match up on the underside of my Yakima HD bars. Been deployed a few times so far and out on one camping trip. Over all I’m very happy with the sun seeker!
Haven’t had a chance to use it but install was very easy. One tool and about 10 minutes.
Great product, worth every penny! Built tough, looks good, compact and overall good product.
Sunseeker awning is great, took 20 minutes to install on my ARE Shell with Yakima surf racks. Fits perfectly with the mounting hardware provided, sits snugly against the shell and below the level of the surf racks. Thanks!
This awning is perfect for desert camping. Easy to set up and take down and there’s always a patch of shade. Highly recommend!
Easy to install on the Pioneer platform system.
A good quality product.
It was a gift
It’s a great awning and looks nice on the 4 Runner
A little difficult for one person to set up. Once it is deployed it works perfectly and is pretty stable even in a very brisk wind.
Great system with very easy setup, especially if you're camping solo.
Much easier to set up than the 270 Onin
You guys are awesome!!!
I'm very happy with my awning. I have the Rhino Rack Pioneer roof rack so it was very simple to install with the included hardware. I wan't sure by the description if it came with the zipper for the optional extension, so I purchased that as well. Turns out it came with the zipper so I have an extra one if needed in the future. It's not as simple to deploy as some of the new ones hitting the market with automatic scissoring extensions that can hold themselves up without poles or guy lines, but it's also not as expensive or bulky as those models. Everyone has to choose what works best for them. I like this awning and it holds up well. The added effort in setting it up and taking it down does not bother me. If I were to see any design flaw it would be the use of plastic for the hinges that let the poles fold out from the housing. Nothing broke yet, but those make me a bit nervous when I'm setting everything up.
We bought this awning because we did a trip across America in our 1999 Chevy Diesel Suburban last year and used a 10x10 awning off the side at night, while it worked and stayed together the whole trip- it was still a 1/2 hour set up time, and there was a gap between truck and tent at all times. (Not great for rain). We plan on going back to the areas we want to spend more time, and this will allow us to have our shade/rain protection and a 5 minute set up time! The following pictures are of what we used (old system) to the new Rhino Rack Sunseeker 55sq ft awning from etrailer.com set up in the driveway- new adventures are in the beautiful future!!! Thank you to the awesome staff at etrailer.com for the great price, ease of ordering and fast shipping!
Seems well made with reinforced corners and easy mounting hardware
This awning is exactly as described! Once attached to the crossbars, it takes less than 5min to set up. Top quality construction and materials. Totally worth every dollar.
