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.

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.

I put it on a New Camp teardrop trailer with a Yakima roof rack. Fits perfectly!
by: Scott04/26/2023
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The rubber gasket to hold the poles is not adequate.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Car Awning
- Will Opening and Closing Yakima Y07409 SlimShady Roof Rack Mounted Awning Be Easy for One PersonAs 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.
view full answer... - Will the Yakima SlimShady Awning Clamps Work On a Adarac Truck Bed Ladder RackYes, the clamps for Yakima SlimShady Awning part # Y36VR will work just fine on a Adarac Truck Bed Ladder Rack with 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" crossbars according to my contact at Yakima.

- How Much Bar Space is Needed for Yakima SlimShady AwningI 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.
view full answer... - Yakima SlimShady Awning Compatability With 2016 Toyota Highlander Factory CrossbarsThe Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 6-1/2 foot x 6-1/2 foot # Y36VR will fit without modification to your factory installed cross-bars on your 2016 Toyota Highlander. The awning requires the crossbars have a minumum spread of 24 inches.
view full answer... - Awning Recommendation for a Yakima Core Bar Roof Rack on a Truck Bed Camper ShellThere 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.
view full answer... - What is the Minimum and Maximum Pole Height of the Yakima SlimShady AwningThe poles of the Yakima SlimShady # Y36VR range from 4 to 7 feet. Yes, the legs can be set at any height within that range. This will accommodate vehicles that are taller or shorter or give you the option to slant the SlimShady to block the sun.
view full answer... - Can I Put a Yakima SlimShady on Roof Rack with Rocketbox and Kayak Carrier Already InstalledThe only thing that would keep you from using a Yakima SlimShady Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 42 Sq Ft # Y36VR on a roof rack with a Rocketbox and Hullavator is the amount of bar space you've got. The SlimShady awning is only sits about 6" above the tops of the crossbars, so you shouldn't have much trouble accessing the Rocketbox; whether or not you'll be able to access the lock depends on how much space you've got between the two. I don't forsee any issues with this and many...

view full answer... - Does Yakima SlimShady Awning Require Crossbars to Extend Past Roof Rack FeetGood question but no, per Yakima there is not a minimum amount of space required beyond the Yakima rack's feet to install the SlimShady awning. The reason for that is the awning can attach either in front of or behind the feet of the rack, so a specific length of rack extension is not needed. So you can use the SlimShady awning, and there are a couple different sizes to choose from: - 8' Long x 8' Wide: Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y96VR - 6-1/2' Long x 6-1/2' Wide: Yakima SlimShady Awning...
view full answer... - Awning Option For 2022 NuCamp T@G TrailerAn awning may be possible, but not the Batwing, and your NuCamp T@G would need to have the optional roof rack. If that's something your trailer does have, there are a couple of options for awnings that clamp onto the rack. There are different sizes, depending on the spacing of your crossbars: - Crossbar Spread at Least 24": Yakima SlimShady Awning - 6-1/2' Long x 6-1/2' Wide # Y36VR - Crossbar Spread at Least 27": Yakima SlimShady Awning - 8' Long x 8' Wide # Y96VR
view full answer... - Will the RocketBox Pro 14 Work w/ a Slim Shady on top of a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited?Yes, you can use the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box item # Y07192 alongside the Yakima Slim Shady item # Y36VR. The SlimShady awning sits about 6" above the tops of the crossbars and is 6-1/2" wide. The RocketBox Pro 14 item # Y07192 is 33" wide and it looks like your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has 53"- 54" wide crossbars depending on the make and model you have. You may need to mount it slightly off center to fully open the box. I have linked a review video below.

My Yakima contact confirmed no adapters or additional parts are required to get you 'made in the shade' on your next camping outing. So, in effect you have three mounting point options, driver-side, passenger-side or rear of vehicle. Of course, the SlimShady can also mount to virtually any...

view full answer... - Awning Compatibility With Yakima Overhaul HD SystemSince 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...
