It just seemed a bit too cumbersome to set up by myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a post on one of the many Facebook groups I follow that alerted me to a sale at napaonline.com where they were selling their Maxi Trac awning for $90, shipping included. I heard good things about these awnings and the price point was right for me to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought I\u2019d try the awning out on my 5<sup>th<\/sup> Gen since that is the one I typically take to the beach, which is where I could use some protection from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the video I shot showing how I installed the awning on my Southern Style OffRoad (SSO) aftermarket roof rack (click the image below for the video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qZ-ow-PzQsQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Awning-Installation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Awning-Installation.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Awning-Installation-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Awning-Installation-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theoverlanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Awning-Installation-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve used the awning on a few trips now and am pleasantly surprised.
