RTT on alloy canopy

Post by moineau »

I will build a alloy canopy. The roof will be flat.
I want to place my EESY AWN t-top 140 RTT on it, but I don't know how to fix it....
Until now it's on roof racks.
Any idea? :surrender:

Get yourself something like these rails and use that to bolt the tent onto the canopy. I did that with mine. Just seal all the holes where you bolt the rail to the canopy with sika flex.

Each tent may or may not come with "mounting brackets" .... thus each installation is just slightly different.

From this rail you need a "two-part" bracket to the tent frame.

4x4Direct also has stainless steel brackets for this purpose - http://www.4x4direct.co.za/roof-racks-r ... p-1892.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
