Awning for NaturNest Cantilever Hard Shell Rooftop Tent

Since NaturNest doesn't offer an entry canopy for the cantilever RTT yet, in this video, I show you how I modified a canopy from another RTT to fit on the NatureNest Cantilever RTT. I used a canopy from OVS that I bought online, some 1.5 inch hook and loop with sticky back. I also used a sewing machine & tape measure for the project.

Process I followed:
1. Measure the dimensions of the section of canopy that I would be attaching to the tent.
2. Cut the hook and loop sections to size.
3. Stick the soft side of the hook and loop on the underside of the tent entry. It bonded VERY well as it has a rubberized coating on it.
4. Stick the hook and loop on the canopy.
5. Sew the hook and loop on the canopy using a sewing machine and some upholstery thread.
6. The final step was to test the canopy on the roof top tent. I opened the roof top tent and validated the canopy was covering it properly. I adjusted the canopy as needed. The hook and loop holds very strong I don't for see any issues in strong wind or rain.

I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thanks for watching and happy overlanding! 🏕️
