Why do we call it a Swiss Awning Bracket? Is it the way you can mount it with the support sticking up to raise the awning higher for taller folks or sticking down for a lower profile to fit in garages or reduce side wind effects when driving? Is it because you can mount it at the edge of the rack to work around a roof top tent, or in-board so it is less exposted on the trail ? Is it because it has nearly as many holes as Swiss cheese? Whether it is because it is like a Swiss Army Knife or like Swiss Cheese, the name seems to fit either way so we are going with it.
Our Swiss Awning Bracket functions at its best with the "1804" rack. With multiple ways to mount it you can position your awning just right. This bracket excels in fitting your small to medium size awning securely to the rack (180 and 270 Degree awnings should not be mounted with these brackets, see comparison photo of OVS awning bracket for 270 Awning). Outer holes are spaced vertically at 1/2 inch increments, up to a total of 3 1/2 inches, while center slots allow for variability in the spacing between the mounting channels of various awning manufactures. The dual outer holes allow for doubling up fastening hardware in the upper channel which reduces the weight and stress at each point the awning is bolted to the bracket, helping to preserve the integrity of the awnings aluminum channel.
