Rear Triangulation Awning Bracket - Single
Tough Touring REAR Awning to roof Rack bracket
This Traingulation bracket Bolt straight up to flat Platform planks. For Curved Aero Bar / Cross bars you will need to source the rack/ cross bars fitting hardware or through bolt directly Using your own bolts or muffler clamps (not provided)
They come in 3 Variations -
"Up" Mount Bracket - These are super stiff and mount directly to the top of Rhino Platforms - they are 180mm high and span 420mm across the platform when fitted (about the same height as most awnings in the bag).
MID mount bracket - These are not as stiff as the up mount, and sit 140mm above the platform, 420mm across the platform - they place the awning BESIDE the rack and 40mm below it - again the Awnings themselves are typically 180mm high, so the Mid mount bracket holds the awning beside and lower than the up mount by 40mm... Majority of vehicles suit this bracket - there is enough clearance over opening doors for all vehicles tested (GU patrol has the least clearance and these still work fine).
MID mount LONG bracket - These are the same height as the Mid mount bracket 140mm - but the triangulatrion 'Foot" of the bracket is really LONG - Its 640mm Long bracket, its long so as that it can pick up more Planks on the Rhino racks platform, giving it immense anti twist strength and also strengthening the rack against bowing. Super stiff means it will hold the bigger forward fold awnings in their true Pole less form, and less flex means the awning will handle more wind.
The Downside of course is sliding objects onto the rack from the rear becomes more difficult with the bracket stiffening arm running 640mm across the rack back and front... Not a biggie if your used to basket style racks : there is still sliding room available on the other side for ladders etc.
Designed to handle immense twist forces - and stiffen up the rack itself - all options for this Bracket kit are the most ridgid bracket systems we can make for this rack -
The BOLT pattern Cut into this Bracket supports all known Pole less wing awnings, including forward swinging 180 270 and 360 awnings ... Some awning and rack combinations may need spacing out to get around hoop bars etc. We sell as spacer block also listed here as an additional option if required.
Enjoy...
