FAQs
Awnings
Where can I see a Rhino-Rack awning on display?You can visit your nearest Rhino-Rack dealer to check out our awnings in person. Availability may vary by location, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm they have the awning you’re interested in on display. Use our dealer locator tool to find a store near you.
In most cases, yes — the tailgate may contact the rear support pole when opening fully. To help with clearance, we recommend using our Tall Awning Bracket, which raises the awning above the opening path of most rear doors. Always test your setup during installation to ensure a good fit.
Our awnings feature pre-drilled holes specifically for accessories like rock lights. These holes allow for secure mounting and include built-in channels for clean cable management, so everything stays tidy and protected.
Yes! Most Rhino-Rack awnings can be mounted on either the passenger or driver side of your roof rack. Only the 270 style has a dedicated left and Right side. Just make sure your roof rack has the right mounting channels and sufficient clearance from other accessories (like rooftop tents or solar panels).
Our awnings are compatible with most Rhino-Rack roof systems, including Sportz and Reconn Bars, legacy bars like Vortex and Euro plus Pioneer Platforms are all compatible. If you're using a non-Rhino-Rack system, check for T-slot compatibility or ask your dealer for a mounting kit that suits your setup.
Many of our customers install their awnings themselves using the included hardware and instructions. However, if you’re unsure or want a seamless fit, we recommend having it installed by a Rhino-Rack dealer or professional fitter. Check the weights of the awnings as our heavier versions may require 1-3 people for install.
