Conqueror UEV 490 Poleless wing awning brackets
Tough Touring Conqueror Pole less wing awning brackets are designed to handle any Pole Less awning over 2.7m (Which is the span of the brackets once installed) At Present the Reccommended awning to install would be the Supa Peg Sheild 6 - (we don't sell or stock them but can do that yourself and have them delivered to us here we are installing the kit for you).
These Brackets are in Version 5 - "general Release' -- All conqueror Trailers are hand built and as such some trimming of brackets is possible, especially at the rear as the hinges on the roof can be mounted in varied positions.
At the front, the tropical fly covers bolt bolt track is also fixed differently on all campers, and iin most cases needs to be trimmed or removed, (Drill out the 6 - 8 rivets holding it in place) and re-installed lower out of the way.
(There is plenty of room for it on the forward sloping section, no disadvantage at all to place it there instead... )
Rear hook bracket on Drivers side is typically easy - totally free from obstruction.
The Brackets are Fixed to the trailer via Nutsert / and or Rivetts onto the surrounting flat/ 0 degree angle on the top edge of the camper - 'cupping' around the pop top roof...
We get asked a lot about the weird 'Hook bracket' for the Drivers side rear is also included to allow faster set up and a more stable awning in wind. The Hook Bracket may not work with all awnings... It is noted that it does not work in conjunction with The Bush Company awnings, (These cannot be fitted in any case as they are only 2.3m long....)
ANY AWNING FITTED MUST BE 2.7m LONG or Longer...
The included Sikka Automotive 221 adhesive sealant ensures no leaks .
Assembly and fitting times will vary but expect to be done in a few hours at the most with the brackets. Awning fitting will depend on the awning your installing ... These brackets are immensely ridgid, and will minimise twist / lift issues with wind up to 15Knots.
Single Arm (Rear pivot) awnings Like the Darche 270, 30 Second Awning, Ostrich Wing can be fitted if you wish to first install a 2.7m Back plate - We do not supply these...
Most UEV 490 front bed canvas section pitches higher than the awnings mounting points, so awnings that swing out 'over the front bed' are impossible to use when the front bed it up... We would advise the Supa Peg Outbound Sheild 6 as the perfect awning at present as its 2.7m Long, Rear 270 Front 180 gives the most coverage and its well made...
Some conqueror models in 2014 had flat front bed roof sections rather than a high triangle pitch and can run 360 Awnings without problem...
Installation Instructions
The Brackets fix to the top edge of the conqueror via Nutserts which are in the kit. There are no written instructions..
Layout : The Biggest Triange bracket is the front one, The smaller triangle is the rear, and the smallest is the rear face bracket. There is a hook bracket in there also, to be fitted optionally once you have the awning on there and it holds the arm of the open awning.
In the listing Pictures - the last one shows the layout of the brackets...
here of the bracket arrangement.At the front, the tropical fly covers bolt bolt track is also fixed differently on all campers, and in many cases it needs to be trimmed or removed, (Drill out the 6 - 8 rivets holding it in place) cut it shorter and re-installed lower out of the way.
(There is plenty of room for it on the forward sloping section, to re-install the full bolt rop track if you prefer... There is no disadvantage at all to place it there instead... )
Install the awning and open it - set it using the awnings strap before installing the Rear drivers side hook bracket - its the only way you'll know where to put it to tension the awning properly. We fix it temporarily with the awning on and open using tec screws, then pack the awning , pull out the tec screws and mount it in the same spot properly with the heavy duty rivnuts.
The Brackets are Fixed to the trailer via Nutsert / and or Rivetts onto the surrounting flat/ 0 degree angle on the top edge of the camper - 'cupping' around the pop top roof... If your unfamiliar with rivnuts or nutserts - there is you tube of the tools to insert these on youtube.. They are about $50 from almost every hardware store.
We get asked "Why do i need a hook bracket" - The 'Hook bracket' for the Drivers side rear is included to allow faster set up and a more stable awning in wind. The Hook Bracket may not work with all awnings... It is noted that it does not work in conjunction with The Bush Company awnings, (These cannot be fitted in any case as they are only 2.3m long....)
