Very nice setup Schoeniman.
I guess we see 2 novelties here on the forum:
1. First production Grenny fitted with the FR rack
2. First production Grenny with RTT (apart from the prototypes which were fitted with RTT for demo purposes…)
Is there a specific reason why you chose the particular awning over the AluC. or BushC.?
Would love to see more pictures, especially in action.
Could you measure how much height the FR rack adds on top of the roof at the highest point?
Hi Horst, Michael here,
regarding the awning I reviewed more or less ALL available review videos on Youtube.
Selection criteria
:
1. square meter of coverage
2. easiness of opening/closing
3. quality and sturdiness of materials used
Quick pitch: The Weathershade offers significantly more shade (15sqm) and is very easy to open and close. (which might be true for most 270 awnings)
It is super stable WITHOUT the incl. supporting pole.
FrontRunner: One reason NOT to take the Rhino Rack, was the fact, that you can't "tune" the available coverage. With the FR slimline, I left out one bar just over the Safari Windows, which allows me to open and use them. BTW: the Safari Windows are a must from my perspective. We've just travelled 1300km from Bad Toelz to Puglia and come rain or shine, the Safari Windows give you a much better "atmosphere in the car. Nobody should underestimate how low the windshield is = dark inside without the Safari windows.
We've installed the rack WITHOUT the 1cm additional spacers that FR provides with the Rack and it works fine for us.
Lacking the right measurement tool right now, I've at least took a couple of shots to demonstrate the space available. Hope that helps...
Let me know in case you need more Info.
