Quick-release awning kit for roof top tents – 4 mm steel brackets by Braguscamp
The Braguscamp quick-release awning kit for roof top tents lets you fit and remove your awning in seconds, without tools. Its two-piece male/female design stays on the tent and the awning, so you simply slide the parts together, secure them and enjoy shade straight away.
It is built from 4 mm high-strength steel with a black anti-corrosion powder coat, made to withstand vibration, wind and intensive use. Stainless steel hardware is included for a secure installation. The kit adapts to standard aluminium rails on hard-shell and soft-shell roof top tents and suits most tents and awnings.
A precise fit helps eliminate rattles and noise while driving, even on off-road tracks, and the compact design does not interfere with closing the tent. Fit the awning only when you need it and save weight, space and time. Sold per unit.

Features of the quick-release awning kit
Two-piece male/female design
The kit consists of a male bracket and a female bracket. One part stays on the roof top tent and the other on the awning, so mounting the awning becomes a matter of sliding the parts together and securing them. Removing it is just as quick. You decide at every stop whether you need the awning, instead of carrying it permanently.
Tool-free at camp
Once installed, the system does not need screws or spanners to attach or detach the awning. That means less time setting up and more time enjoying the place you have reached. It is especially handy when the weather changes and you want to fit or remove the awning quickly, or when you only need shade for a short break.
Robust 4 mm steel construction
The brackets are made from 4 mm high-strength steel, designed to cope with vibration, wind and the intensive use typical of overland trips. The black powder coat protects against corrosion and weather, and it gives the kit a clean, professional look that matches most roof top tents and roof racks.
Silent, secure fit on the road
A precise fit helps eliminate vibration and annoying noises while driving, even on off-road routes. The compact design does not interfere with closing the roof top tent, so everything stays tidy and secure. Stainless steel hardware is included so you can install the kit firmly and with confidence from day one.
Wide compatibility and modular camp
The kit adapts to standard aluminium rails on hard-shell and soft-shell roof top tents and is compatible with most tents and awnings on the market. It makes your set-up more modular: travel lighter when you do not need shade and fit the awning in seconds when you do. The kit is sold per unit.

Frequently asked questions about the quick-release awning kit
Is it compatible with my roof top tent?
The kit adapts to standard aluminium rails on hard-shell and soft-shell roof top tents and is compatible with most tents and awnings. If your rail profile is unusual, send us photos of your tent and awning and we will confirm the fit.
How does the quick-release system work?
It uses two parts: a male and a female bracket. One stays on the tent and the other on the awning. To mount the awning you slide the parts together and secure the mechanism; to remove it, you release and slide them apart.
Do I need tools?
For the initial installation you fix the brackets with the included stainless steel hardware. After that, mounting and removing the awning is tool-free, so you will not need spanners at the campsite.
What is it made of?
The brackets are made from 4 mm high-strength steel with a black anti-corrosion powder coat. The fixing hardware is stainless steel. The kit is designed to withstand vibration, wind and intensive use.
Will it rattle while driving?
The precise fit is designed to help eliminate vibration and noise while driving, even off-road. As with any roof accessory, check that all fixings are tight, especially after the first trips.
Does it stop the tent from closing?
No. Its compact design does not interfere with closing the roof top tent, so the tent folds as usual and everything stays secure and tidy. Just check after installation that the awning and brackets sit clear of the tent lid and its closing straps.
Is it sold individually or as a set?
The kit is sold per unit. Each unit includes a male bracket, a female bracket and stainless steel hardware. Order as many units as your awning mounting needs; if unsure, ask us and we will help you work it out.
How is it different from the other roof top tent accessories?
This kit is for mounting and removing an awning on the tent. The ladder step covers improve safety on the ladder, and the garage pulley kit is for lifting and storing the tent overhead when it is off the car.
How do I look after it?
Rinse off dust and salt with water and mild soap, keep the sliding parts free of sand and check the bolts regularly. Touch up any deep scratches in the coating to keep corrosion away.
