Thule Sport G2 Compact 2 Bike Carrier - 43000000002000

Honestly, I do not know what I like better - the actual awning or how easy it is to install. Thule nailed it! I have this setup on my Tundra using Thule's 500XT racks. It was a solo install and couldn't have been easier. Once the adapters are placed as needed - it literally drops right into place. No issues, super easy and fast. The awning size is very generous and perfect for the ultimate car camping and/or overland experience. I have it set up alongside my RTT and it's perfect. Again, I strongly feel Thule nailed it with this awning. Great job!

Completed my own Sprinter build and selected the Thule over a competing product - better warranty and I liked the design. Had to fabricate a mounting system as I have a custom rack that wouldn't work with Thule's mounts (not unexpected - Thule can't anticipate every vehicle). I don't like the side mount plastic feet clips - they are cheap looking and make the van look cheap - so I created a different solution out of aluminum. To be honest I can't imagine a high quality product like this providing plastic parts like this but hey - it's a small thing. The crank arm also sticks / is hard to remove but found a simple solution by watching YouTube (put a rubber grommet on the end) - and it works great.

I installed this lock on my Sprinter Van because I read that the key lock on the driver door is easily opened with a screwdriver. Now when I’m away from the van, I use a chain from the driver door to the steering wheel, then use the sliding door, with this lock,as my entry point.
