It attaches to the awning with zippers. It must be a dometic trim line bag awning or the zippers will not match.

First, it's a great awning, a real bargain. It is attached to a ladder rack, so if your bus has gutters and you can attach a ladder rack to it you can use it.

Your going to need something. The awning is mounted on alum. frame with two slots that run the length of it. The six bolts that come with it,slide in the track and when you tighten the bolt it stays there. So you need something that mounts to your rack and that bolts to the awning. You can't drill through the frame of the awning but you could bolt something to the back of the awning and drill what you bolted on. I have round tube rack on a 8ft bed, I used pipe clamps and long flat strut washers. I guess there is lots of ways to install this awning.

You have to lift it. No zippers. There are also no strings included to hang it.

Mine actually didn't come with a zipper at all, just the fold-over. I like it because it secures my device without scratching it, but they need to correct the description.

Yes it does, but I would not recommend this awning. the cable broke on mine within three months. there is no customer service.

Hello, that is not the correct picture that should be associated with this part number. The awning must be attached to something, usually mounts to the side of a roof rack.

Those "black bars" are likely the support structure for the awning. They are hinged and they DO move! They may be tangled with each other, so fiddle with them a little as you open the shade. The pins lock into place as you extend the canopy into the fully-open position. This may require an assistant.. Hope this helps!

No dosent have a zipper just folding it down goes in with out a problem and not braking the glass... If you are planing getting one with glass I recommended .

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

We attached our awning to the fascia of our palapa. Awning slides left to right onto two screws. So it's held in place by the screw heads. You could possibly mount a board to the luggage rack and mount the two screws to the board?

The air vent mesh is a new feature. All of these Hammocks now have it. Previous versions had a zipper.

This awning is quite heavy and awkward to mount (need 2 or 3 people). I attached mine to the overhang of the roof, and the weight forced it to tilt forward. I had 3 L brackets made to support (and level) the weight of the awning. It worked perfectly. Please note: The awning (when open), will drop approximately 3 feet from mounting height.

Ours has been sold so I can't tell for sure. It seems like it wouldn't hurt for it to hang past the track each end. Then again most awnings are shorter than the stated size anyway. Your track may be the standard you need.

You do need to have the arms attached and screwed into the wall, otherwise the awning will just hang straight down.

There is a metal face bar that the extended end of the awning cloth fits into along with the scalloped cloth face for decoration. This metal bar has a slot that goes the full length of the bar. The head of each bolt at the ends of the arms fit into this slot and allow adjustment for arm width location. I placed mine about 3" inside each end of bar so wind would not blow them apart. Let me know if you need more. Good luck bud.

i placed a D-ring off the roll area at the top and place the O-ring that came with the awning panel on the end. The I used 2 "S"-rings and hooked them to the panel. If you send me an email address I will send you several photos...
