8' x 9' 10". The Hideaway awning rolls out from the top of your vehicle to give shelter from sun and rain. It mounts to your van's side wall with the included hardware. Hand crank lets you open and close awning in seconds.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!
Great product with good mounting system. Options on how the supports get anchored. Clean slim profile when closed up.
Great prices, courteous people and prompt shipment. I highly recommend Etrailer.com
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.
Lead time was terrible.
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
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.
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,
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
