I keep seeing these awning brackets come across my feeds on facebook. Just wondering if anyone has tried them?
FWIW I tried the knock off ones on Amazon. Amazon.com: 2 Sets Awning Mounting Brackets for Roof Rack,Universal Quick-Release | Awning Quick Release Brackets, Heavy-Duty Detachable Mounts Side Tent Accessories, Suitable for Camping and Road Trips : Sports & Outdoors
The hole pattern does not align with the GFC track.
could you drill to match the GFC spacing? Or would the existing holes interfere?
Just to be clear the Amazon ones I tried were these Amazon.com: Aymzbd Awning Bracket Hardware Professional Easy Use Replace Parts Steel Black Easy Installation Shade Canopy Support Accessories, 2 Set : Everything Else
I tried them because GFC was sold out of the brackets and was looking for an immediate solution. If you had a drill press probably you could make it work but i was unsure of the quality of the metal and what a larger hole pattern might do to weaken it. I just opted Send them back and wait for the GFC brackets . The other issue is the GFC t nuts stand a bit proud of the extrusion… So the bracket would only be in contact with the t nut face. On the GFC brackets the holes are large enough that it passes through the hole and the bracket is around the nut if that makes sense. Also factor in the cost of the t nuts. Hope this helps.
I hadn’t seen the ones on amazon. At less than half the price compared to the Landraxx you get what you pay for. I like the idea of being able to take the awning off quickly but can’t justify if they would work on the camper and the cost.
