As beanie says I have a 2.5m tuff trek one and is a very good piece of kit! For the money it is excellent value and well made.
I have mine fixed to the 90 degree brackets that is comes with at the moment but I have a pair of pro speed folding brackets waiting for me when I get home.
I don't know the expo rack but looking at all the pics you post I would say you can use some of the up rights that are already there on the high sides and mount it on there? All you need are the heads of the bolts showing as the Tuff trek rail slides into the heads and then fixes as you tighten them up. I would think you could get away from using the angled brackets but that would possibly mean drilling through the uprights on the rack, which I assume you might not want to do.
There defiantly are lots of options to secure them on so I would not worry about that. I went for the Tuff trek as it was in my budget and was a fox wing type design. I am very pleased with it and is simple to put up with two people Plenty of room inside too:

Does anybody have any experience of this awning for sale on eBay? Seems to be good value on the face of it:

Save up and buy a Foxwing then every few months buy a tapered side for it. Trust me they are the best by a mile.

Although I could get a Tuff-Trek tent and awning and still have a few beer tokens left over for the price of a Foxwing.
Either way I need to start saving D4 MY15 SE TECH

Does anyone know if the Tuff-Trek A1 awning will attach to the Quick Tent. Tuff-Trek sell them as a package so I'm guessing they do somehow.
Also how waterproof is there kit. Do most of my camping in The Lakes so it does rain now and again

Hi Andy,
Last camp in the Gower, we had a terrible storm throughout one night, with howling wind and heavy rain, I'd prepared for the rain before hand, but reducing the height each support leg on the awning, so all the rain ran straight off.
If I had a complaint, it's where the awning joins the car (or trailer in my case), there's no leg there and I can see that possibly you don't need one as the roof section is attached. I just found that the side of the wall against the trailer was flapping etc as no leg to tie it to. In the end I used one of the old tent poles (Found in the trailer) and a couple of bungees, which it helped a lot, cutting down on the flapping and small rain ingress through the side
Nothing major, just me being fussy, you do get a wall that fits against the car/trailer, this would help, but doesn't really work with my set-up. Any rain that did come in, just ran down the side of the trailer onto the ground.
My trailer is a little lower than it should be to perfectly fit the awning, so again this probably plays a part with my specific problem (Need a low trailer to fit into garage)
In the below pic, the area circled I found quite loose and wind, rain was/could get in - I think this side shuld also have a pole - but could be down to the user

Other than this, awning was nice and dry inside Iggy/Ieuan
