Will Batwing Awning Work With Yakima Roof Rack With Round Crossbars

Question:

In another post your expert shared the bracket indicated with the red arrow is included with the # RR32105 awning kit see photo. I attached to this communication the picture with the red arrow. How do I purchase the part that the red arrow is pointed at? I believe this is part #RR32105 but I cant find that part anywhere. I have round Yakima bar picture attached. I also have the kit to attach the bracket to the round bar picture attached. I not have the bracket though that the red arrow is pointing too. That is the piece I need to order which I believe is in a kit. This is to attach a Batwing Awning right hand side to my roof racks.

The red arrow you are referring to in the accompanying photo is a part of the mounting hardware that comes with the now-discontinued RR32105, which is the entire awning and not just one part.

You would not be able to attach a Batwing Awning # RR33200 or # RR33100 to your Yakima round bars; the best option for you is the Yakima SlimShady Roll-Out Awning # Y36VR which will work with round crossbars so long as they have a spread that is a minimum of 24".
