Awning without roofrack

Has anyone fitted an awning without having a roofrack fitted? I would like one, but don't want to have to buy a roofrack to fit it.

If you have rood rails, then yes it could be done easily with channel nuts in the rails and the bracket mounted to them. Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Hi,

I fitted a 2.1M across the back of our FL2, as said ^ used the rail mounting points and made a couple of brackets, then mounted the rail to the brackets

If you do it without the rack, make sure you use one of the awning designs with props/poles at the free end. If you use a cantilever awning from the roof rails the roof is going to get knackered the first time it’s set up. 2008 LR3 HSE, 4.4L V8

Our last 3 months trip didn't use the awning once, & that's with Australian sun. Think seriously if you really need one. Visitor - Freelander owner
