Danchel Outdoor Awning - Mounting to Dodge Grand Caravan - Option 2

Video sharing our second option that we developed to mount the Danchel Outdoor Side Awning to roof cargo basket installed on roof rack on Dodge Grand Caravan. The parts we used were the two small rectangular metal brackets that came with Danchel awning, 12 u-bolts with metal bracket and bolts, 4 black knob bolts from 4 piece universal u-bolt set, plywood for 2 side pieces and 4 blocks, 8 wood screws to mount blocks to side pieces, spray primer and spray black paint.
This is the option we went with and decided to purchase second awning to have awnings on both sides of the vehicle.

You are most welcome. Love to share what we learn along the way and make it easier for others setting up their minivan campers.

Great video. Do you by chance live in the Chicago land area. I would love to see your vanpackers kit before I decide to get it.

Hi Charles, No, we do not live near Chicago. We are in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.
