Looks great
Have not had da chance to install yet. I did partially extend the awning only to find metal shavings throughout. So far no signs that it impacts/impacted the awning at this point.

Love this awning instructions not so much
I spent a ton of time evaluating the Hideaway against their primary competition a close tie but I picked the Thule largely because of warranty and great customer service. Because I was installing on a custom rack for my Sprinter Van I had to fabricate some mounts which Thule could have in no way anticipated which ended up working great (so well I made a YouTube video showing the install / operation). High quality, solid construction very happy.

Fantastic Awning and Super Easy Install
Honestly, I do not know what I like better the actual awning or how easy it is to install. Thule nailed it! I have this setup on my Tundra using Thule's 500XT racks. It was a solo install and couldn't have been easier. Once the adapters are placed as needed it literally drops right into place. No issues, super easy and fast. The awning size is very generous and perfect for the ultimate car camping and/or overland experience. I have it set up alongside my RTT and it's perfect. Again, I strongly feel Thule nailed it with this awning. Great job!

Tension Rafters
Buy the Tension Rafters (requires 2). This awning is now the BEST. Add these and angle the awning for rain to drain away (no water build up or sagging).
