For the roof rack, you'll need to get these bars # RRVA180B-2, with the RLTP Legs # RRRLTPFD and these adapters # RRVA-FK1-2. I've included a video for you to watch to see how it installs!
If you want to use the roof rack for your awning you will need to go with a wrap around awning like the Yakima SlimShady # Y96VR. This will just clamp around the bars with little effort. All you need is your hands to clamp it down to the crossbars.
If you really want to get the Thule Hideaway # TH490011 you won't be able to put it on your crossbars since it's Rhino Rack. You could get this adapter kit # TH308960 but it will prevent you from putting a roof rack on your ProMaster.
Honestly your best bet is to get the Slim Shady awning. I loved it and would put it in the same ballpark as the Thule option, BUT the Slim Shady is much easier to install. Check out the review video I've included. I have dealt with many awnings before and the Slim Shady really is my favorite.
