Naturnest 270 Rooftop Awning - Installation guide and troubleshooting

I ran into much difficulty when attempting to install my Naturnest, mostly because I went about things the hard way and found there was a much easier method to doing it. Hopefully this is helpful for you if you're considering this as a purchase. Once we finally had it mounted and tried it out, we fell in love with this awning! Some info on my setup...I've got a 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with stock rails, Malone Airflow 2 Crossbars and a Gobi Ladder. Links to the awning and u-bolts I purchased are below and please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about the install!
