Yep. I like the idea because it would also give you more clearance and protect from branches etc when it's laying flat. Then at camp you fold it up and open it out. And since it's now "floating" higher than the roof rack, the rear cargo door can open up fully.

Actually I found a new product I didn't know about... https://30secondwingawning.com.au/product/folding-brackets/ That's not bad but doesn't look very beefy...

Also, here's an expensive product to extend awning away from mount: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/rack-accessories/camp-accessories/front-runner-movable-arm-for-easy-out-awning-2m-2-5m.html

Great work so far! I also have a situation where I want my awning to lift up vertically before using, because of the rest cargo door on my 4Runner. Right now the cargo door can't be opened when the 270 awning is open. The best possible out-of-the-box solution I found so far is to try folding...

Location?

Actually I see now the megafit is $1650. https://www.rigdsupply.com/products/rigd-ultraswing-mega-fit-spare-tire-hitch-mount

I think these are $1500 new. https://www.rigdsupply.com/products/rigd-ultraswing-4runner-spare-tire-hitch-mount

Oh nice yeah better to have heat protection too

If you want to keep the cost and storage space to a minimum, you could use something like these for eye protection. https://a.co/hcVBdN1

Love it, perfect for emergency trail use. Nice work!

Props for starting title with location.

Can't make this one, looking forward to the next

Heading over from expo. Be there soon.

Thanks but my setup revolves around a 270 awning, which means the lift gate can't open. So I roll the lift gate window down and reach in to MOLLE panels rather than store things in drawers.

Yeah, true! But man is it nice having plenty of room in the cabin for kiddo and two big dogs... Also a V8 ;)
