Hi guys
Just want to know how you have mounted an awning
To a arb style rack

Thanks

Mine arrived with 6 bolts and washers included. Drill holes into each pillar fit. Let me know if you need photos.

Hi hodge
Do you mean the pillar that attaches to the gutter

[Hodge]

Mine is on the a actual basket pillars. I've green circled it here mate. I have seen a few people install them on the brackets that hold the rack up above the gutters, but getting bolts in there would be a pain.
Also I think there is a U bolt mounting system, instead of drilling into the rack.

X2. Pillars on the basket.
Drill holes and bolt up.

Shops that fit them just bolt to the two outer pillars, I bolted to all 4 and when the bloke at the shop saw he thought I was mad... Lol

Yep I mounted mine the same way. Heads up, I fitted mine close to the bottom of the top rail. Pain in the butt. Leave it low enough that you can still use a hook or rope on the top rail mate. Drives me nuts. Any questions I have a full pictorial of an ARB awning fit up. I really should do a How Too thread.
