I have had mine for a week. First few days we had 45mph winds and it handles it beautifully. Today we have some rain coming in and snow for the end of the week. But I'm sure it will handle just fine. We even ordered the walls and they should be here next week. Very fine products. We are even getting the tent and bathroom.
We ran it some difficulty too. The nuts and the screws didn’t fit. The nut came in this blue film making it difficult to crew it in. We went and bought a power drill to screw the nut but one of them got stuck in the middle of screwing and we’re not able to unscrew it. Did yours comes with the blue film too?
Yes those are nylon locking nuts, they are meant to be difficult so that they do not loosen. You really only need a solid ratchet set for those and you should be able to tighten them. It would still be a fairly slow process but that’s really the reason they do that.
@@jordanvp thank you for getting back to me. I guess I’m the unfortunate one, we tried again yesterday and the nut got stuck in the middle during the process we couldn’t unscrew it back up. Took three guys to unscrew it and it wouldn’t budge. We contacted the seller hope to hear from him soon. I’m glad you get to enjoy yours.
That’s a great question…so the way that I mounted mine (the wrong way) restricts the trunk hatch from opening fully. I’ve since adjusted it and it works great!
@not.alexjordan sorry for the delay…yes, just moved it forward but I removed it from my roof, measured the distance between crossbars then tightened the plates to the awning and mounted it. I’ll try to feature it in another video soon, I really love this awning!

Great video sir!! Thank you making this informative video!!
No problem, glad this was helpful!
Such a nice awning.
Why not mount those U brackets upside down and cutting off the excess threads for a cleaner look?
When you were in the market did you consider OVS 270 awning?

Love the awning but this is a random question.. what camera are you shooting this video with it looks so clear and good!
Shooting with the Sony FX30 and Sigma 24mm Art lens, it's a stellar combo.
Whats that little fire pit you have?? Looks awesome!
Yeah this thing is awesome…it’s made by Warmbond, their mini version, comes with some cool extras and even an alcohol burning insert.
Can you answer a question for me? Are you able to bring your trunk up without it pushing on your awning much?
That’s a great question…so the way that I mounted mine (the wrong way) restricts the trunk hatch from opening fully. I’ve since adjusted it and it works great!
@@jordanvpWhat did you do to adjust it? Slide it forward a bit, i’m guessing?

Why this not OVS 270 awning?
@Parekoy_Adventures because this was free.
Can you open the rear hatch with awning in full open position?
Unfortunately you can’t
Thank You
How tall do the legs extend. ?
I would guess somewhere close to 6-7ft.
Ok thank you for the info
The mounts don’t look very robust.
