Anyone ever mounted a FoxWing batwing 270 to pop-up camper?

Has anyone ever mounted a FoxWing 270 batwing awning to their pop-up truck camper? Going through their installation PDF, I see no mention of mounting it on the sidewall of a pop-up camper. However(!), I have a crude low-resolution photo (of no use to determine mounting specifics) of a pop-up truck camper WITH the FoxWing 270 mounted, but no contact info.

I would mount it to the passenger-side over the dinette window, to be swung back over the rear wall of our camper.

For reference, FoxWing: here-->
  • Thanks guys. Interesting.

    The only Youtube batwing-on-popup demo I could find, was that linked Four-wheel camper thang.
  • I contacted Oztent and Hallmark asking about mounting the Fox Wing and got no replies. I moved on.
  • Hallmark used to offer the Fox Wing as an option on their popup campers, I don't know it they still do. But I've seen several photos of Hallmark's with them on the web.

  • After doing some hunting around on the Net last night, I found a solution.

    Aluminum stand-off brackets mounted to the awning's aluminum back plate, and top beam of camper side-wall. Pretty sweet solution. The Youtube video shows a 4Wheel camper with the batwing installed, then deployed (deploy in less than 3 minutes).

    Anyhow, if anyone wants to see this, here it is: batwing-->
