Ruff Rax Awning Mount Set of 3 — Secure Your Awning to Any Ruff Rax Rack
An awning is only as good as the mount holding it up. When you're setting up camp after a long drive, the last thing you want is a loose, rattling awning bracket that shifts in the wind or vibrates loose on the corrugated tracks between sites. The OVS Ruff Rax Awning Mount solves that. Sold as a set of three, these mounts are engineered specifically for Ruff Rax roof rack and bed rack systems — giving you a stable, clean, low-profile awning installation that holds firm from the trailhead to the campsite and everywhere in between.
Available in three heights — 7 inch, 11 inch, and 15 inch — so you can match the mount to your awning, your rack height, and your setup requirements.
Purpose-Built for Ruff Rax Rack Systems
Generic awning mounts are a compromise. The Ruff Rax Awning Mount is designed from the ground up to integrate with Ruff Rax roof rack and bed rack systems — the mounting geometry, the hardware, and the profile are all matched to deliver a clean, secure fit without the fiddling, shimming, or improvising that universal options require.
The result is a low-profile installation that looks intentional and performs reliably on road and off. No awkward protrusions, no unnecessary bulk, no afterthought mounting solutions — just a solid connection between your awning and your rack.
Three Height Options to Suit Your Setup
Every overland build is different. Rack height, awning size, and desired clearance all vary from rig to rig — which is why the Ruff Rax Awning Mount comes in three heights. The 7 inch mount suits lower-profile setups where minimal elevation change is needed. The 11 inch and 15 inch options give you progressively more height, useful for larger awnings, taller racks, or builds where you want additional clearance between the awning arm and the rack surface.
Choose the height that fits your specific configuration — and if you're running a Ruff Rax bed rack with a rooftop tent, the taller options can help clear the tent when the awning is deployed.
Heavy-Duty Construction with Powder-Coat Finish
The Ruff Rax Awning Mounts are built from heavy-duty materials and finished with a durable powder coat — the same standard of construction you'll find across the entire Ruff Rax accessory lineup. The powder-coated finish bonds to the substrate and holds up against trail vibration, UV exposure, moisture, and the general wear of hard overland use without fading, chipping, or corroding over time.
At 20 lbs shipping weight for a set of three, these are substantive mounts — not lightweight brackets that flex under an awning load. They're built to hold your awning securely even when wind picks up or you're parked on uneven ground.
Even Weight Distribution — Sold as a Set of Three
Selling awning mounts as a set of three isn't just a packaging decision — it's an engineering one. Three mounting points distribute the awning's weight more evenly across the rack than a two-point setup, reducing stress on individual mount points and on the awning arm itself. The result is a more stable deployment, less flex in the awning structure, and longer service life for both the mounts and the awning.
For larger or heavier awnings in particular, three-point mounting is the more reliable approach — and it's exactly what this set is designed to deliver.
