Crosswing Frequently Asked Questions
What roof racks are compatible with the Crosswing?
More information to come, but feel free to reach out to us with specific questions on the compatibility of your roof rack.
Can I mount directly on my car’s roof rails?
No. You must have cross bars on your roof rack in order to install the Crosswing.
What if I don’t have crossbars?
You will need to install crossbars on your car in order to be compatible with the Crosswing.
What is the difference between the 5’ and 7’ awning?
The only difference between the Crosswing 5’ and 7’ is the length. The 5’ Crosswing takes up 5 feet of length on top of your car, while the 7’ Crosswing takes 7 feet of length on top of your car.
What are all the components included with the purchase of a Crosswing?
Crosswing 5’: 1 5’ fully assembled awning, 1 set of mounting hardware, Extra T Slot hardware, user manual, installation tools.
Crosswing 7’: 1 7’ fully assembled awning, 1 set of mounting hardware, Extra T Slot hardware, user manual, installation tools.
How does the Crosswing hold up in the wind?
The Crosswing is not recommended to be open in winds over 25 mph.
How does the Crosswing do in the rain? Is it weatherproof? Will it rust?
The Crosswing awning material is waterproof and will not rust. We do recommend packing up your awning if winds start to exceed 20-25 mph. The awning can withstand a light dusting of snow, but is not recommended to be open in heavy snow!
Can I adjust the awning’s angle?
The angle can be adjusted to three set positions during on-vehicle installation. Neutral (horizontal to ground), Up 12.5 degrees or down 12.5 degrees.
Can I hang things from the awning?
No. We do not recommend hanging anything from your awning when deployed, with the exception of lightweight tarps or screens. Heavier objects, up to 10 lbs can be mounted on the main body.
Can I leave it open overnight?
Yes! You can leave the Crosswing awning open overnight.
Can you drive with the Crosswing awning out?
No! We suggest that you don’t drive with the awning out, but the Crosswing is safe to drive with on top of your car when the awning is packed away.
How do I open and close the awning? How do you lock the awning in place?
To open the awning, set the locking mechanism to unlock, pull the two tabs from the front of the Crosswind until you hear two clicks. Then use the locking mechanism to ratchet out the tension. Once the awning is sufficiently tensioned, set the locking mechanism to the lock position.
To close the awning, set the locking mechanism to the unlock, pull out the awning about 4 inches and allow the tension to pull the awning back in as you guide it in straight. Then set the locking mechanism to lock and button up the tabs.
There is a T-slot on the bottom of the Crosswing, what can I use that for?
That T-slot can be used for accessories no more than 10lbs. Do not use it for load bearing or anything exceeding 10lbs.
Can I keep the Crosswing mounted when taking it through a car wash?
No, we recommend that if you are going through a car wash that you take the Crosswing off. If you are just washing your vehicle by hand, you can keep it mounted on your vehicle.
Outpost Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Outpost mount on my vehicle?
The stock mounting hardware included with every Outpost is designed to fit the majority of roof rack systems, but it is not 100% universal. See our compatibility blog for more details.
Can I hang things from my Outpost?
We do not recommend hanging anything beyond small accessories such as string lights or a tarp from the horizontal crossbar. The “A” frame telescoping legs can support larger accessories and products.
Can I hang a tarp over the Outpost horizontal bar?
You can use the horizontal bar of the Outpost as a ridgeline to hang a tarp, such as the Kuhli weather shelter or the weather shelter included with the Mantis all-in-one hammock tent.
What is the tallest or shortest vehicle the Outpost can be mounted to?
The vehicle roof rack that you want to mount your Outpost to should be no taller than 80 inches and no shorter than 50 inches.
Can I leave the Outpost mounted on my vehicle when I drive?
You can leave the mount attached, but we do not suggest you drive with the bars attached.
Can I mount the Outpost to something that isn’t a vehicle? Like a wall or tree?
No. The mounting equipment is only compatible with a vehicle with a roof rack.
How many Outpost hammock stands can I attach to my vehicle?
The amount of Outpost hammock stands that can be mounted to your vehicle is dependent on your attachment points and the weight rating of your vehicle's roof. Crossbars commonly have a weight rating of 165 lbs. If you are using light duty crossbars or stock crossbars that came on your vehicle, be sure to check the rating before installing your Outpost.
How have you configured the Outpost stand so I can achieve the optimum hang?
The Outpost comes with a short set of straps very similar to our Python straps. These straps have the same loops along their length for setting the Hammock in the desired position.
For adjusting the height, particularly with taller vehicles, you can telescope the legs, which will result in the structural ridgeline being at an angle. This is ok. Then offset the hammock, on the straps on the loops, further in one direction or to one side than the other. This will position the Hammock for the desired hang.
For mounting the ball joint, you will need a "hard point" to either clamp onto or bolt into. The included mounting kit can be setup in a variety of configurations. The most common setup is a set of Crossbars, but compatibility ranges from Crossbar stay racks, to basket style, to base/platform style systems. You can even mount to a wall or tree with a few after market nuts and bolts!
Care
- - Do not hang more than 10 lbs. from horizontal bar.
- - Stake out or remove hammock in high windy conditions.
