You could use nesting square tubes and gas struts to assist with the vertical lift. You might even be able to put the gas struts inside of the square tubes so it compresses when stored. I’m going to use spring steel push button locks and weld on a set screw to prevent any rattle.
Little more progress on my mounts. I’m going with longer plates that will have bolts in all 4 corners so the weight sits evenly on the welded bracket elbows. Should reduce torque and flexing of the awning at the ends when they swing open. These look rough for sure.
The front bracket is...
I am working on adding a 270 awning to my rack that has an iKamper. The challenge is that an iKamper shell HEAVES out to the drivers side on its hinges as it opens to the passenger side. So one can’t place the awning too close to the tent (on the drivers side) or they will interfere with each...

I’m trying to engineer a cool way to mount it under my RTT and possibly create ducting to move the heat through the honeycomb base. But it sounds like neither of your two builds have the unit exposed?
How is your Propex working for you? They seem great but I hear reviews that they don’t work that well? I’m looking at the HS2211 externally mountable unit.
March 3-5th, plan on a trip this weekend! Hoping to leave 1 or 2pm if you can get a half day off.
We are finalizing the route but it will be heading south a little. More to come!
Yes we meet the Second Sunday, 1-3pm. And yes I’ll still keep it and if people need to bug out early to get to a SB party there will be time for the 3:30pm kick off.
