We bought a 2019 Forest River R Pod in Sept. 2022 with no awning because the previous said it was broken and he threw it away. I called to cancel an awning that was too short on Nov. 18, 2022 and ordered the 9' 10" awning and Alyssa told me we may not get it until next summer. I received an email over a week later that our awning was shipped, and we received it Dec. 9, 2022. It was very easy to install since the camper already had the Thule bracket on the camper. The weather also cooperated with installing it! These awnings are made in England and Alyssa told me the Thule is having difficulty getting orders done and shipped. I don't know what kind of strings e-trailer pulled but I was very happy we got it in a very timely manner. Very pleased with the quality and excellent service!



by:

Great product with good mounting system. Options on how the supports get anchored. Clean slim profile when closed up.



by:

Great prices, courteous people and prompt shipment. I highly recommend Etrailer.com



by:

The product is great, but the delivery was not….they dropped it in the middle of our driveway during the day. It could have easily been stolen. We have a covered front porch which would have made the package less visible.

We've had this awning for over a year now and completely satisfied.

I've been on the hunt for this awning for over a year as its been out of stock. There are other options out there for the Sprinter van but this one was the best choice for my rack. You do need to purchase the mounting brackets separately, which come with different options for attaching to crossbars amd roof rails. I had some roof rail pucks laying around that I used to attach the brackets too.
This is very versatile and can be set up with the legs on the ground or with the Thule optional brackets(Purchase
separately) that attach the legs to the van..this is great if setting up on a hard surface or if you need to keep your dog on a lead and not get tangled up.the only tricky part for me is that my van is tall so once I get the awning out about 2 ft, I have to hop in the van and get the legs out- no biggie.this is very nicely made and easy to set up take down. Lots of optinal accessories as well



by:

Replaced the Carefree awning on our 2019 Travato with this product. Like the sleeker look of the Thule awning when closed. 4 stars was only because of a missing arm cover (refer to photos). The legs locking mechanism is kinda squirrelly so hoping there’s a fix to tighten those.



by:

I will just email this review to you here. So far the Thule roof mount awning appears to be a 5-Star product.

Just now have it installed. This awning is very nice. It mounts tight to the roof with a foam rubber gasket to eliminate any potential rattles while driving or rain leaking in under the awning when in use. It has a low profile to minimize wind resistance while driving. The adapter kit which secures the Awning to the roof of the ProMaster Van is excellent quality and attaches quickly and securely. However, placing the awning into the adapter brackets is not as simple as the directions indicate. Once you figure out the proper procedure required(which is a bit different than the directions) it all went together nicely.

Here are a couple of pictures. from this morning's installation. Not a very nice day here so the pics are marginal.

Hopefully you received the return awning ok.

Thanks for you good service,



by:

The awning arrived and was very well packaged. Installation was a little tricky until I realized that being on the roof of my van rather than on a ladder next to the van would make seating the connecting hooks far easier. I think the awning looks great and seems rock solid.



by:

Best awning on the market! Bought it a year ago and went with it couple times. We took it for camping and drove couple thousand miles off the road, however it says its not for off-roading and it stood well, heard some rattling noise on the rugged terrain so I cranked and it there was no noise anymore. Also after setting the camp there was a strong wind and I was afraid it would break the awning as I did not use the pegs, awning arm was disconnected and there was no bend or break (thinking of getting sun shade and it will be more secure during the wind)! Don't know about the other brands but THULE is the way to go!



by:

After 1 year of use I have discovered that service parts are not available for this awning in the USA. I broke a support leg and have been told by Thule USA to buy a complete awning if I need spare parts. This is definitely not acceptable and unexpected. Buyer beware this awning is not fully supported by Thule USA.



by:

Doesn't easily mount to Promaster. I have Thule's specific Promaster mount kit. Still don't have it installed and Thule hasn't been much help. Very disappointed.



by:

After a ton of research I chose the Hideaway roof rack mount awning for my Ford Transit van conversion project. The awning was easy to mount, (did so in about 1 hour with help of my wife). I mounted my roof rack mounting brackets upside down onto my home-made roof rack and it fits beautifully.



by:

Ordering from etrailer has always been effortless. Prices are on point and free shipping doesn't hurt either. The awning went on in an hour using the kit that I also purchased from etrailer. Will return to their site for the other items I will need for my build.



by:

I'm extremely disappointed in customer service at Etrailer. I called regarding an issue with the telescoping hand crank getting stuck in the hole when pulling out or retracting the awning. I was told by Shawnee in customer service to call the manufacture, Thule.

  • Brackets Included With The Thule HideAway Awning
    The Thule HideAway Awning - Wall Mount - Waterproof - 80 sqft Item # TH490011 comes with brackets to mount directly to the side wall of your 2020 Sprinter Van. It won't come with brackets to connect to a roof rack so that is probably the conflicting info you've been seeing. I have attached the mounting instruction page from the manual to help with installation.

  • Thule HideAway Awning Mounting Recommendation For An Enclosed Trailer
    You could install the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack Item # RA-28 on your trailer and mount the Thule HideAway Awning - Wall Mount - Waterproof - 80 sqft Item # TH490011 to it. Attaching it to the rack will allow you to place it higher so you won't have to worry about the door coming into contact with the awning fabric.

  • Mounting Thule HideAway Awning On a 2022 Winnebago Solis 59PX With Pop Top Roof
    I recently visited an RV show where they had an RV with the same style roof as your 2022 Winnebago Solis 59PX on display. It had an awning like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 attached and the brackets used looked custom made by the RV manufacturer. The mounts were similar to the Thule HideAway Awning Adapter # TH308960 as they do get drilled into the van. Be sure to check with your Winnebago dealer as well as I do see that they offered it with an awning from Carefree of Colorado.

  • Which Thule Hideaway Awning for 2003 VW Eurovan with Lift Top Roof
    The best solution to mount a Thule Hideaway Awning # TH490011 would be to wall mount, since it's not going to require adding a compatible roof rack. You could mount this awning on the lift roof using the Thule HideAway Awning Adapter for VW Van with Lift Roof # TH307887 you were looking at, as well; so this would be an alternative solution to the wall, which I still think might be the best solution for your 2003 Eurovan.

  • Mounting Thule HideAway Awning On Northstar Popup
    I talked with a Tech Rep at Thule to verify, and yes they think your plan for attaching is good. The main thing to consider is that it has enough structural integrity, if is at least as strong and solid as the wall this will be sufficient to mount the Thule HideAway Awning, # TH490011. The SKA252 that you ask about from the instructions is identifying a type of sealant, the Sika brand/Sikaflex. They suggest using a natural silicon type.

  • Will The Thule Hideaway Awning Fit My Ford Transit Camper Van?
    The Thule Hideaway awning is a great choice for a Ford Transit. The primary use of these awnings is camper vans like Ford Transit or Ram Promaster. It will really come down to what size you want, and how much space you have available. The Thule Hideaway # TH490011 is 8' wide and comes with everything needed to mount to the side of your van. We also have it available is a 6-1/2' wide # TH490018. Either of these will fit your van nicely. Personally I would go with the larger size TH490011....

  • Can Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning Install Without Crossbars
    The Rhino-Rack Sunseeker awning, part # RR32133, does require crossbars or the Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform, all of which are linked, to mount on your roof. It does install into the channel on a crossbars that have one, which many do, but not directly onto the tracks you already have. The picture you're referring to may be the one I attached. That's the Sunseeker installed in the channels on a the Pioneer platform. We do carry different sizes of the Pioneer that fit onto tracks like...

  • What is Difference Between Thule Hideaway Awnings Roof Rack Mount and Wall Mount
    The Thule Hideaway that mounts to roof racks part # TH490008 is designed to attach to a set of crossbars and comes with hardware to do so whereas the Thule Hideaway wall mount # TH490011 comes with hardware to attach to the side of a wall. So the mounting hardware is the key difference.

  • How To Install the Thule HideAway Awning On a Trailer

  • Which Thule HideAway Awning for R-Pod 172 Camper
    The correct Thule Hideaway awning for attaching to the side of a camper like your R-Pod 172 would be the part # TH490018 as this is the direct mount version that you'd use for the side of a camper like yours. There isn't anything you'd really need to be careful of. Just follow the install instructions and take your time and you'll be totally fine.

  • Distance Between Mounting Channels on Thule HideAway Awning Roof Rack Mount
    There are a few different Thule HideAway Awnings available, such as the roof rack mount type like part # TH490010 or the direct mount type like part # TH490011. The roof rack mount type is the option which has the channels on the back and these channels are spaced 2-3/8" apart on center. The t-bolt that slides into this channel is the Thule T-Bolt part # 853-5715 which has an M8 stud.

    For a 2016 R-Pod 180 the Thule Hideaway part # TH490011 would be a great bolt on fit. It will mount directly to the side of your camper and since it's smaller at 9 foot 10 inches it's a good size for your R-Pod.

  • How to Remove the Thule HideAway Awning for Storage
    You will be able to easily remove the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 from the mounting brackets that come with the direct mounting kit, but it should be noted that this awning only sticks out 3-1/2" from the side of your R-Pod trailer. I've attached a picture that shows in the instructions for the HideAway and how it mounts to the mounting plates that attach to your trailer, but it does mount and come off fairly easily.

  • Recommended Awning For A 2006 Dodge Sprinter Van
    Awnings like the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334919-362241 aren't really intended for use on the side of a sprinter van but if you could still technically install it on your 2006 Dodge Sprinter. The arms of the awning will need to be bolted into studs and needs to sit on a flat surface so you'll most likely need to do a lot of modification to your van to safely install this. Typically most van owners use the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011, as it's specifically designed for...

  • Best Direct Mount Awning for a Nissan NV2500 Van
    The best awning option we have for a Nissan NV2500 is the Thule HideAway Awning which is offered in a wall mount application that can be bolted directly to the side walls. This would be the only option aside from installing a roof rack which might not be available. The largest Thule HideAway Awning with the wall mount application is part # TH490011 which measures 10' long x 8' wide.

  • Recommended RV Awning For A 2021 Winnebago Solis 59PX
    Since your roof extends up you'll want to go with a wall mount awning like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 to avoid any interference. This will come with carriage bolts and brackets to secure it to the wall of the vehicle. I do recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ to prevent any water from leaking in through the carriage bolts. I've attached an installation video below where Brad will walk you through the process.
