Are you ready to elevate your Rivian R1T’s outdoor readiness with a sleek 23Zero 180° awning? Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you set up for your next adventure.

Step 1: Unboxing Your 23Zero Awning First things first, carefully unbox your new 23Zero 180° awning. Inside, you’ll find the awning itself, heavy-duty mounting brackets, and a set of instructions that will be your best friend throughout this process.

Step 2: Preparing the OEM Cross Bars Before you get started, make sure your R1T’s OEM cross bars are properly secured and positioned where you want your awning to sit. This will ensure a smooth installation process.

Step 3: Attaching the Mounting Brackets Align the mounting brackets with the pre-drilled holes on your awning. Once aligned, use the provided bolts to secure the brackets to the awning. Remember, it’s always easier with an extra pair of hands, so don’t hesitate to ask a friend for help.

*if you have a hard clamshell roof-top tent, consider purchasing these extended awning brackets so that you have adequate clearance for the lid of the tent

Step 4: Mounting the Awning With the brackets attached, lift the awning onto your R1T’s cross bars. Adjust the position until it’s centered to your liking, then tighten the brackets onto the cross bars. Ensure everything is snug and secure.

Step 5: Deploying Your Awning Now for the fun part! Unzip the awning cover and roll it out. The 23Zero awning is designed to be user-friendly, deploying in about two minutes. Extend the arms, set the height, and voilà – you’ve got yourself a massive shaded area, ready for relaxation.

Step 6: Stowing Away When it’s time to hit the road, the awning stows away just as easily as it deploys. Retract the arms, roll the awning back into its cover, and zip it up. Quick, simple, and ready for the next stop.
