I have used this canopy quite a few times, and it has been quite good. They were closing out the blue color ones, and I got it for $60 bucks (poles, stakes, storage bag included). Not as elegant as a Hanibal, Eezi awn or ARB...But I figure I'll use this for awhile.



The attachment points are pretty weak, so I decided to improve this with some old straps that I had laying around. They are rated to hold 200 lbs, so I figured they would work. I've got 4 of these straps that will cinch the support bar of the canopy to my Baja Rack...







Next, I bought some additional attachment points that Springbar sells. These are called 'Tie guys'. The two grommets fit over the the tent pole and offer an additional attachment point...Pretty good idea if you ask me.







Again, I had some spare ratcheting straps that were perfect when used with the tie guys...Sorry for the poser driveway pics. I'll get some good camping pics as soon as my trailer is done...







My quest to store this thing was answered one day walking through Cabelas...I got a Flambeau Bazuka rod case that this canopy will fit into while attached to my Baja Rack.







The build continues...

Great setup.

How does that fishing rod case mount to the rack? What did you use to attach the case to your rack?
