Mainline overland is now on board with the @Hodakaguy installation process due to my digging and questioning of the install especially since I’m driving from SC to NH with awning in tow. They are going to re-quote me the install price in the near future including the upgraded bracket hardware.

That is good news. I sent them his PDF a year ago... at the time they were not sanctioned to do the install ... but apparently that has changed. I am glad to hear as it is a great awning. Please do let us know what the install price ends up.

463.86 over the price of the eezi-awn install. @hodakaguy style.

Skey - Any pics, and do you think they'd sell whatever bracketry they made up for you? (or have you not had them do it yet?)

Install scheduled for 8/12-13

Here is another option if you are handy and want to save a bunch of money:

what is the length of the tent pole used in your awning?

Sorry to revive an old thread.  How are you all liking the Shadow awning?  I want to install one onto my swift.  I'm not exactly sure where to mount the brackets to ensure i'm installing the brackets to the fwc frame.  I have gone over Hodakaguy's install and see how he beefed up the hinge to the jack stand bracket.  He already had a batwing on his camper i have no awning at all so need to figure out how to measure to ensure the brackets mount to the frame.  If anyone has one installed and willing to help me with some measurements to determine where to drill that would be awesome!

I'm looking at the mule brackets now.  It looks like the mule brackets there's just one in the rear and one up front that mount to the jack brackets.  2 mounts total that attach to the awning, is that correct? it feels pretty sturdy this way? what awning are you using? will it work with the swift model?

I’m using the Mule bracket on my Hawk with ARB 10’ awning and have been down some rough rocky trails with no problems.
