Can This awning be mounted on an RV?

I don't know about an RV, but I very easily attached mine to a fence. I'm sure you can attached it to practically anything as long as you have two secure locations to bolt/screw it to.

No...but there is mounting bracket that either comes with, or is sold separately for the larger version of this grill. The bracket is designed to attach to an RV, but might work for a boat.

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.

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?

Most camper repair places will install awnings, however, I did my own and found that it waseasier than expected.

It would work on any awning. They are put on manually to tighten it and are taken off before you roll it back up.

Exactly! For what it's worth, I had to install the awning about 14" short of the roof over my sliding door onto an 8x6 mini-deck. The awning covers the deck perfectly. One downside (only) is the crank which hangs below a railing and makes cranking the awning not so great. I'd buy another one if I ever move.

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.

Mark,I have not yet installed my awning. The brackets will overlay, but if you have good solid backing behind the 4 inches you should be OK.

Ellen, I installed 2 6' black iron pipes on my deck where the front of the awning ends. I attached them to the deck with flanges and put a PVC T on the top. I added industrial strength velcro on the T and the front of the Awning. I also have 7 mounts holding the awning at it's anchor point. The tubing they made this unit with is sub standard for the weight it has to hold. If I could upload a picture for you I would but don't see anywhere here to do so. motorhogman at yahoo if you want to email me and I'll send you some pics of my modifications.

What sort of application are you looking to do? If you're looking to put it on a bus like I did, you might want to get different bolts/washers/nuts. The stuff that is included is more of a masonry/wood type of application.Also, another thing to note is that the awning does sag, more than what I'd say a typical rv awning does. If that is a probably you can look at propping it up, but for instance I'm not able to adjust it with the included hardware to a point where it goes at more of a 90deg angle from the bus.

I guess the the best way to answer this question is How must shorter is it ,,, Most awnings are very close to the the correct length Measure the awning roller or tube, not just the material,,,as the add a room slides into the slot in the roller, then the side panels fit against the awning material up against the underside at each end. I would not get an add a room that is a foot shorted , it would not fit at the top and inside against the camper... Hope this makes sense to you and helps

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.

I mounted them to the camper not the awning. Ran 1.5inches below where the awning was attached to the camper. The lights have an adhesive strip and silicon mounts (buy aluminum 1/4' screws not what comes with it the light as they will rust). Then I to for good measure put a bead of clear silicon around the edges. 2 years and we get other campers stopping by.

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.

Since you have a rail I would think it should work. The awning appears to be universal.
