Quick-Release Awning Brackets for Chevy Astro and GMC Safari Vans
These quick-release awning brackets are designed to mount aftermarket awnings to the OEM/GM roof rack on 1995 and newer Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari vans. They allow an awning to be installed or removed quickly by a single person, making them well suited for campervan builds where flexibility, ease of use, and clean vehicle profiles matter. The brackets are intended for users who want secure mounting while still being able to remove the awning when it’s not needed.
Important: These brackets are compatible with awnings that use ARB (48 mm) or Maxi-Trac (1.67 in) center-to-center T-track mounting patterns. If your awning matches either spacing, it will work with this system.
