Mount your awning properly.
The Destination4WD Awning Mounting Brackets are designed to securely mount your D270 or D180 freestanding awning to a wide range of roof racks and rooftop tents.
Every touring setup is different. Roof racks vary. Rooftop tents use different channel systems. Mounting heights change depending on the vehicle.
That’s why we created three purpose-built mounting bracket options so you can choose the one that suits your setup.
- Universal Mounting Brackets for most roof racks
- Front Runner Mounting Brackets for Front Runner Slimline racks
- Rooftop Tent Mounting Brackets for tents with aluminium mounting channels
All brackets are Australian Made from heavy-duty stainless steel and designed to handle real touring conditions. Corrugations, dust, heat, and thousands of kilometres of rough tracks.
Choose the bracket that suits your rig and mount your awning with confidence.
