I'm trying to decide on an awning setup for my Bobcat and am wondering if it's viable to mount on the roof rails. I have upgraded struts and am not so worried about raising it, but I'm not sure if it's stupid to have the thing up so high from a leverage on the roof if it's windy standpoint.
I'd like to be able to get a 270 wraparound. We often camp where it's rainy, but we also usually have bikes with us. The bikes are carried on a vertical rack (Yakima Hangtight) with a swingout that swings to the passenger side, and I'd also like the awning on the passenger side. This means I need it way up high. The rack itself clears the roof by an inch or two, obviously much taller with bike wheels up there also (else I'd look at extended brackets on the jack attachments).
It would also be cool to have it covering the windows too. Rather not get one just to the side because I want door coverage for my steps and boots.
