Tough Touring has manufactured bracket systems capable of handling trussedPole Less wing awnings for Composite shell - Pop top campers Such as the MDC XT 11, 12,15, The Eezi Trail, Jawa, Windsor, Parkes  and other Hybrid pop top campers . Loads exerted by twist forces on awning are triangulated along the pop tops joining structure giving the Awning  immense strength. The Brackets are designed to Prioritise Awnings to'Fail first'  minimising potential damage to the camper walls in the event of extreme and unexpected wind damage. 

'Tough Touring Awning to Hybrid POP TOP Wall Camper brackets"

This Bracket set  suits  Tough Touring Awnings and All Supa Peg Awnings for Hybrid Campers - Where this kit is different is that it includes a back plate lengthing plate to allow this 2.7m Long awning type tp extend forward to make it to the triangulation brackets.

The back plate extension component  takes the mount out to the required 190mm longer than the pop tops roof - And also creates the desired rain gutter... 

The Sections usually require areas to be cut out around gas / lifting struts, Clamps and other things already mounted into the pop tops top plate. 

Freight on these back plate extensions can be expensive - They are delivered in 2m long sections - There are Options below on how many sections you need -Freight is Included and pre estimated in the options  -

I would advise to opt for no Sections option  if you can make them locally you can avoid the henious freight charges.  

WHY THE SECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT

The Pop top Hybrid needs to have a rain channel or up channel bracket fitted to the camper for this bracket kit to work - as the Back plate extension bolts to the rain channel, Typically this is the ONLY place it can be bolted as there is not enough space between the Pop top and the back of the awning to add a central support bracket. Every trailer is different, please measure and check carefully . 

The Ideal Awning to marry up to this bracket set would have to be the 'Tough Touring / Supa Peg Sheild 6" . More on this awning here 

ABOUT the Brackets

The Brackets do not foul on any of the tested variants of this chinese built trailer, so far tested on MDC 12, 13, Mars 13 Campers , Windsor and and many other name varieties.  Longer trailers can be fitted with this bracket kit with longer awnings too... 

The Brackets are fixed via Rivnuts (Nutserts)  to the inset / Top edge of the pop tops Flush Steel Frame - and are triangulated for strength and bracing either way along the edge of the pop tops shutting /seal surface. 

The Extension plate is bolted at 4 points each end and 2 in the Centre to the rain gutter angle. The Rain Gutter needs to be at least 110mm high to bolt up to the extension plank. Lower rain gutters may need inventive methods to find new bolting points. 

KIT CONTENTS:

* 2 x Passenger Side of Camper Connecting and securing brackets, assembled as per pics above they join to the Top of wall Plate face brackets and create a 'cup' around each corner end of the campers pop top.

1 x Hook Bracket - The Hook bracket secures the last arm of the awning when its put up. 

Optional  x  2m Extension Panels - L Panel. 

* 20 x M8 Nutserts and 20mm High Tensile Dome Bolts. (Forch).

* 1 x Tube of Sikka flex sealant.

ONCE FITTED

Zero flex through the brackets is present.  Shear testing is far in excess of the awnings structure (Meaning if the wind gets under the awning, the awning will fail, not the camper).

Fitting is fairly straightforward with 6 x M8 Nuterts each end fixing the brackets. No Requirement for any fixings on the visible side walls of the camper as these are made of a composite filled with styrene (No strength there). PLEASE NOTE: These Brackets require the rear of all swing around 270Awnings to be overhanging the rear so they can indeed swing around !!! Dont forget this during the install...
