Tuff StuffOverland TS-AWN-RT-6.5 Roof Top Awning, 6.5′ X 8'

Ok...I do not believe this is an actual Tuff Stuff piece of kit, but a damn good copy, as there is no Logo and some of the items are not included or different, like the 10mm wrench and bolts. That said, i don't care as it is well made, sturdy and installed easily enough and when i field tested it in park, was able to get the basic awing up in 10 minutes. I will add my actual set up steps, vs what Tuff Stuff says, as mine makes this a 1 person set up and take down. I did paint the shiny aluminium flat tan. I had to trim the end cap plastic pieces to allow the additional shade awning to slide into groove, once done, worked like a charm. I also trimmed the extra long velcro pieces to allow it to fasten to the top bars. Overall, i a mm happy with product and will be using it at the end of the month up in Maggie Valley at 5500ft elevation...My instructions:unzip and unbuckle straps.unroll, lay on groundattach guy linesstake guy lineslift up and let front legs dropadjust poles so that the awning is tautit will funtion fine just like that, no horizontal bars requiredif bars are required for more stability, simply swing them out fromrack, extend and insert post into hole, adjust for tautness and twist lockmake necessary adjustments to your situation and liking.Take down is the reverse process.

It is a little tricky to set up your first time but once you learn it is easy. Works amazing very well built and is a great alternative to an ARB. The cover is made out of great material, I was very impressed with the overall quality and If mine was ever damaged I would buy again. Worth every penny!

Great product, no issues. I mounted it to my roof rack and took it on a 4000 mile overland trip. Worked great, sets up quickly and tears down quickly. No issues with wind although it is tough to put up by yourself in the wind. Be sure to use your guy lines.

I’ve had this on for a few weeks now. Mounts up super easy and comes with all the hardware needed. I didn’t know this and went and bought some because it’s wrapped up inside the awning. Super easy to open and put away even by yourself. Sturdy and no wind noise while driving.

Although the product seem to be good for price point the box arrived with a dent, therefore resulting with a dent in the mounting frame and is unusable. The seller has not responded to any request about sending a replacement or passing return information. very disappointed!

Have not had opportunity to camp with it yet, but had some difficulty installing on my rack when I could not find the hardware. It is in a bag with the tent stakes inside the awning cover. Seller ( Trends Auto) was very helpful in contacting the manufacturer to determine where the hardware was stored.

Easy to install. Have not used in high wind (15 kts or less) but it is a snap to set up.NEED NEW SUPPORT BARS AND LEGS. CAN NOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. This makes the awning a one time use item without support for broken parts.

In terms of use, I easily set this tarp up by myself. The horizontal poles swing out from the mounted roof frame and extend to lock into the end of the tarp. The two vertical poles swing downward from the other end of the tarp. My first set up (without guide lines) took about five minutes. Roll up and storage back into the roof unit pretty went easily also.Installation. I did it myself with a lot of sweating and swearing. The design is great but a second person would have made it so much easier to mount.Quality. It looks fine and I'm looking forward to using it.
