ATTACHING BRACKET TO ROOF-RACK
-
180° awning brackets have been designed to fit mostcommon roof rack configurations. However, with the ever increasing numbers of roof rack designs available, it is difficult to supply a mounting bracket to accommodate every case. Below are examples of how to mount the Awning brackets to Flat style and Basket style roof racks. The bracket can also be mounted on roof bars, however, additional specific attachments may need to be sourced from your roof rack supplier. If in doubt, please visit your roof rack specialist for specific roof rack mounting options and advise on Load capacities.
ATTACH AWNING TO BRACKET
We recommend using an experienced after-market 4×4 Accessories fitter to mount the Awning to your vehicle. Fasteners and fixing connections should be checked regularly on both the awning and roof rack to ensure the awning is always mounted securely to your vehicle roof rack. -
Insert supplied 25mm M8 bolts into grooves in aluminum backing plate.

STORING
Correct storage is vital for the longevity of your Nomadic 180° awning. If on
occasion the awning is required to be stowed wet, it is essential it is
unpacked and dried as soon as possible. Rot, mildew damage and incorrect
storage is not covered under warranty.
STRUCTUAL INTEGRITY
The 180° awning has been designed for general camping use under normal
conditions. Always ensure all guy ropes are anchored correctly. It may be
necessary to re-adjust guy ropes and pegs at times to maintain the structural
integrity of the awning.
VEHICLE FITTING
We recommend using an experienced aftermarket 4×4 accessories fitter to mount
the 180° Awning to your vehicle. Fasteners and fixing connections should be
checked regularly on both the awning and roof rack to ensure the awning is
always mounted securely to your vehicle roof rack. Prolonged travelling on
uneven rough or corrugated terrain will require more frequent inspections.
FIXING THE OPTIONAL WALLS The zip on awning walls will provide a sheltered/ protected area around the awning. When attached to the awning, they are designed to create a shaded area and help reduce dust.
