It came with the Sportsmobile I bought. The last owner took it off and She made the right choice as it will pull out the body panels it bolts to. This is a common problem with these. I think there is someone on the forum that made different mounts that hook to the drip well that may help, but your still left with a bunch of the following issues.
1-These things are too heavy.
2-Mounts on these are terrible. Maybe the new ones don't bolt into the body panels.
3-They have a lot of moving parts and more things to break and store.
4-Dangerous. If something catches the awning frame on the trail it would rip it off and tear holes in your panels and destroy the side of the van.
5- Too expensive.
I was just going to have my owning awning made, but this company has exactly What I has looking for. I searched this forum and it looks like there are a few other people that have these.
