Your tent is ready for deep water crossings..

Interesting camping gear. I am looking at there awning offerings?

There is an awning arms race going on here

That's a big dude...10" mounting plate. Looks like it's almost a foot tall on the side of the truck?

 

[Bossman]

The "T" brackets are 19.75" x 16". But the closed dimensions are L x 6" x 14". Not sure how that is possible but I do like the awning.

 

[Bomar]

Yeah there are some questioned dimensions. So I asked for mounting hardware pics.

If all the action at Ole Miss was not in the grove away from parking this awning setup would be so perfect for tailgating.

The no pole awnings even better.

 

[MEMCruiser]

That big awning is cool until a strong wind comes by. Those things look like glider wings.

 

[Bomar]

It looks like I am getting closer to getting 3 more buyers on Shadow awning.... So hopefully we can get the deal done.

So this is a bummer about my trailer setup.

I love the fact that everything sits level loaded but I can't open the swingout

So after all the crazy s*** I dreamed up to fix it I just realized a 6" hitch extension will be the fix.

I'll get it installed and let y'all know if it tows right.

More length the better on these things just hope there is no sway

 

[Bossman]

Should be fine as long as you have enough tongue weight. I think you will be fine.

 

[wngrog]

Yeah and I need those anti-clank bolts

I had to use one for the bike rack and all the slack in the pins adds up.

 

[wngrog]

Anyone have a 2.5 gallon propane tank

Can't you just get a lower hanging hitch?
Looks like you only need a few more inches there Clark.

 

[wngrog]

It's 1 3/4" I need to clear it. Sure, I could do that then it would not be level and that is awful for someone with ADD.

Hell, I was about to lift my truck 2" all around....this was a compromise.......

Think I have a 1 or 1.5 gallon like that.

 

[wngrog]

This one is the same diameter as the normal 20 gallon they sell at stores and would use the same base mount. I found one for $65 shipped.

What about the base mount? I want to mount this to the place on my trailer where I have the little tool box in front of the water bottles.

Google owns me on this. I found a BLING $100 mount but it is for the tall 2.5 gallon bottle not the short squat one

 

[Fireman]

Check camping world or other rv places.

 

[wngrog]

I did. I think the ring type bottle mount that clamp the bottom ring is all I want. This bottle has the same size ring as a 20#

 

[BMThiker]

Couldn't be too hard to fab something up or modify an off the shelf mount.

 

[Bomar]

I am sure AT has one for a G and made of stainless
