Need Help Choosing the Right Mounting Solution?
If your rack system is not listed above, or you are unsure which hardware is required, please contact our team before ordering. A quick photo of your rack system can help us recommend the correct mounting solution for your Rogue Series Awning.
Proper care and maintenance of your Awning (Rogue Series) is essential to ensure its longevity and performance of our products.
To prevent rubbing and damage to the arms and canvas, it is important to properly close and secure the Awning when not in use.
Before closing your Awning, make sure that the canvas is dry and free of any debris. When rolling up the awning, be sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any damage to the canvas.
Regular cleaning and inspection of your Awning will also help extend its lifespan - to prevent surface rust on your brackets, we suggest using a lanolin spray. Additionally, using a canvas re-proofer spray will enhance the waterproofing capabilities of your Awning to ensure that it is ready for your next adventure!

Therefore, we offer a 24 Month Manufacturing Warranty valid from the date of dispatch from our Warehouse.
