Yes, but the heavy-duty vinyl has survived even the fire-hardened curled down stubby pointed branches hanging tightly throughout the McGrew trail in southern Oregon.

I always remove the rack/tent/awning as a unit if I'm not using the truck for overnight or longer camp trips. No use beating it up further and exposing it to the elements. Just rigged up a simple pulley system onto a little hand winch from harbor freight.

I have more trouble with the 7' parking garages. :P
