Universal Slotted Roof top tent Brackets
Tough Touring Awning to Roof top tent brackets bolt straight to the majority of 'Slotted' roof top tents using the tents side bolt track profiles -
The Brackets wrap around the corners of the tent, providing and excellent stiff and sturdy mount point.
Suited to heavier awnings - Including or rear fold 270 - Forward fold 180 awnings. These Brackets change the game for customers struggling with Awning mounting options on carrying Roof tents manufactured with Slotted Side profiles.
The Mounting Plate Pattern on the bracket face allows up to a 150mm Bolt 'spread' on your chosen awning, and also accommodates the Quick Pitch, Alucab and Howling moon 4 x 50mm Mounting pattern.
If your Awning is a Destination 4x4 awning, 2 additional mounting holes are needed to be drilled to accept their 50 x 30mm pattern - but all other known brands will bolt straight up.
The brackets will bolt up to any single track m8 extrusion, and also many twin Slotted extrustion. The Brackets are folded to allow built in spacing to put the awning out and around gas struts, and include our unique hook bracket that eliminates twist in windier weather and removes the need to add tie down points for the awning strap.
We use this awning bracket on the majority of Chinese manufactured roof top tents coming through our workshop these days, there is no other known bracket system as stiff or strong for Pole Less wing awning fittment.
Please note that 'slimline' tents with very low profile base sections and single Bolt track can often successfully run these brackets, however strength is compromised and poles should be deployed when in use. RTT with Twin Bolt Tracks tend to have much better strength and stiffness overall and often have better options to move latches and hinges - as such are reccommended over slimline single track tents for hanging Pole less awnings or Shower Cubes)
The Brackets place your awning directly beside the tent on the Passenger or drivers side, As they are mirroed and can be fitted either way... The awning when fitted will sit flush with the base of the tent making the awning brackets suitable for tents mounted on canopies also that have limited space with lifting side doors. .
Its likely that your chinese manufactured tent has a single or maybee a double bolt slot on both its top and bottom side profile, to test if the tent will take the brackets - Just slide an M8 bolt into the track and see if it fits, If it does not, there is a set of square tbolts in the kit that will hopefully do the trick should you have an unusual size...
At time of writing there were over 75 variations of similar Roof top tents coming out of china - they all have various latches and securing clips / hinges, and typically all use the same mounting bolt track as our brackets - To fit our brackets to the tent - Its necessary to un-do and move some of the fittings, typically you can move them a few centimeters furter inwards or outwards to give you the room to add awning brackets without any effect on the tents security.
Some fouling of the spring steel poles is avoided by moving the bolt track that retains the poles to the top edge further back along of the tent base.
The Kit comes complete with
a hook bracket to secure your awning without a strap in heavy wind.

AWNING Postitioning INFORMATION IMPORTANT
Brackets fitted to Bundutop Tents sit flush with the base of the tent - making them OK to install directly onto the lid of canopy or Racks that are wider than the tents base...
All Other Tents Bracket systems (ALL CLAMSHELL TENT BRACKETS) DONT fit flush beside the tent and require the tent to sit on a rack ABOVE the canopy. Some tents like the EEzi Awn tents brackets have to sit below the tent as far as 90mm.
MEASURE and Check. The awnings are usually about 20cm top to bottom thickness - Ensure there is room beside the tent and if its a clamshell tent, below it as well ... Open doors etc, check they will open under the installed awning.
