So getting my GFC in February and was looking into awnings I really like the Bush Company 270 awning but I have read that mounting it on a GFC is basically impossible and I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has found a solution on mounting the 270 XT mk2
We did the 23Zero 270 Peregrine awning which is very similar but slightly cheaper. Used 4 of the GFC universal brackets and it works great. Website says 55 pounds but my home scale said 57 hence the 4th bracket. Only had it on a few weeks but pretty happy with it so far.

Damn I have been looking at videos of the awning and man I think this is the one. Did you get the 5 Arm awning or the 6 arm? I know they said that if you a door on the back they don’t recommend the 6 but I was thinking about getting the 6 arm for just better stability I guess if there is wind gust
I went with the 6 arm to get the extra coverage.
yeah I went with the 6 arm and the hardware works with the rail system on the GFC or do I have to purchase some additional hardware?
You will want to pick up these mounting brackets from GFC: Universal Mounting Bracket. I went with 4 of them which might be slight overkill but is much more stable in my opinion. There will be enough bolts and nuts to do 2 bolts per bracket. I got a few extra at the hardware store to do 2 on top and 1 on bottom for each bracket. Again that is probably a bit of overkill depending on what type of driving you will do. I find myself going quicker on deeper forest roads with plenty of last minute potholes so I want a few extra cheep insurance hardware pieces.
sick thanks man, appreciate the help. Happy Holidays
I went with the tuff stuff 270 XL and 4 of the universal mounts. I got a bundle deal with the walls included. It made it for Indiana to Florida and back without any issues. We’ll see what next year brings.
Anytime! Post some pictures when you get yours set up. I would love to see it!
