Been looking for a way to mount my awning. So glad I found your video. I have the exact same RTT. So u went custom bracket to mount your awning? Are there because already pre made?
I had to make custom brackets using aluminum angle because I wanted the awning to sit close to the rooftop tent and as high up as I could go without interfering with the latch. I did a lot of searching on the web but didn’t really find anything. Maybe Intrepid will use my idea and make a few.
@@dougparis7095 agreed. I've also spoken with Intrepid about expanding the accessories for the rails. I 'm on the list for the FSR 270 awning, and I intend to make it work, whatever it takes, with my Geo 2.5. Thanks for the video! Very informative.
@@Greg-cs8ky The reason I went with the ARB awning is because it's 8'x8' so lots to coverage for rain or sun. Takes a little longer to put away than a FSR 270 awning but once you figure out the trick it goes pretty fast. I should probably make a video on the correct way to setup and put away the awing. Every UA-cam video I've seen the people are struggling to set it up or put it away.
Great video Doug! Thanks for the tour
The videos are fun to make and when I find quality products that work out great I like to spread the news!
Great tent - just wish they weren't so much more expensive than like the TopOak that can be had for $1170. Great setup you have though
Yep, they are expensive, but I thoroughly researched a bunch of different rooftop tents and decided this was the best one.

@@dougparis7095 that would be great. I am also in touch with Kammock on their cantilever awning. I can actually see the case for a non-270 tent.
