With the call of the "great outdoors" getting more popular these days, more individuals are looking to buy their own camper vans. These vehicles allow them the chance to get away from routine and go on a little adventure. The biggest appeal of these vans is their ability to have the same amenities of a home. And, when the living quarters in these mobile homes start to feel a little cramped, an awning quickly creates the needed extra living and sleeping space. The Thule HideAway Roof Mounted Awning is a lightweight and compact awning with an optimized housing design for a number of recreational vans, including Sprinter and Promaster vans. Because of its roof-mounted feature, this Thule hardware does not affect the automobile's aerodynamics. Its aluminum construction also makes it effectively stable and resistant to impact, shock, wind as well as rust. It provides shade from inhospitable sunlight, protection from rain, wind and unpleasant weather conditions. The Thule HideAway Roof Mounted Awning system also works with a manual crank. This feature is especially helpful for adventurers who want to visit many remote places. While it does require extra time to set up, the manual operating system is easy to operate and is not reliant on power. A QuickLock system from Thule also helps set and adjust leg height variations of the awning easily.
