ARB awning mounting

[Nick]

Has anyone here mounted an ARB awning to their FWC? I have one on the way, but am trying to determine if I need to order the ARB brackets as well. There do not seem to be any images of the brackets anywhere, so I'm not sure if they are for mounting for roof racks, or will work for bolting to the side of the camper. I'd also be fine just bolting the awning directly to the camper, but I'm not sure if that will work.

Any thoughts?

Hey Nick,
I haven't installed one, however the previous owner installed one on his before he sold it to me. In looking at it, it seems like he just found the aluminum frame members along the drivers side of the camper and screwed/bolted the extruded aluminum straight to the side with copious amounts of silicone sealant.This seems like a good approach as I haven't noticed any rain seeping down in between the camper and the awning when it rains...probably not a big deal, but it's nice to not worry about it. I hope that helps,

Cheers,
West
