• 27 lbs hangs off the rack side rail; count it in your total roof load alongside the tent
• Pairs with most platform and crossbar racks via universal brackets

Fitment: counts against the roof total

An awning bolts to the rack’s side rail, so its 27 lbs rides on the roof full-time — add it to your tent weight when you run the load checker. Mounting needs a rack with accessory channels or universal brackets; most platform racks and many crossbar sets qualify.
