Mount it your way

Factory roof racks

Factory crossbars and side rails are the quickest anchor there is. Universal Mounts wrap the bar, flat hooks hold the bottom, and the awning is up in minutes.

How it attaches

Inflate. Attach. Enjoy.

Four steps, no tools. Every AirHaven ships with the hardware below.

Inflate to 8 PSI
Close both strut clamp valves (slide the neoprene gloves off to reach them), or skip them: you can set up without the clamp valves. Pump to 8 PSI with a high-volume pump and a gauge. Max pressure is 8 PSI. Never go over it. If a Gen 4 HR valve sticks or leaks, open and close it a few times to get it working as designed.
Wrap the rack
Loop the Universal Mounts around the crossbar or side rail and clip them back on themselves. Space them to match the width of the awning.
Hook and tension the bottom
Seat the flat hooks at the seam where the body meets the chassis and cinch the straps tight. The struts ride on these straps.
Raise the canopy
If you closed the strut valves, open them and the canopy lifts into place, braced against the side of the vehicle on soft pads. Adjust strap tension to tune the pitch.

Universal Mounts

Webbing straps that clip to or wrap around rack bars and crossbars, and clip to FlexMount D-rings. They ship attached to the awning.

Bottom · every setup

Tension straps

Flat hooks seat at the seam where the body meets the chassis. The struts slide on the tensioned straps and rest on soft pads against the vehicle.

Tip: Both top mounts ship attached to the awning. Remove the ones you're not using and stow them in the awning bag's pocket.

Advanced user setup

Hang it first, then inflate in place

Once you know your anchor points, skip the inflate-first routine. Hang the awning flat, then fill it right where it hangs with an electric pump.

Pinch off the strut valves first: close both strut clamp valves.
Hang the awning deflated: attach the top mounts and hook the bottom straps.
Connect an electric pump to the inflation valve.
Inflate in place to 8 PSI, watching the gauge.
Open the strut valves to raise the canopy, then tension the straps and tune the pitch.

Max 8 PSI. Never inflate past 8 PSI. Use a pump with a gauge, and set the shut-off to 8 if your pump has one.
