Update

All parts are received, going to QC and test fit each set on my bench. Can everyone who was interested DM me? I’ll reach out by Monday if I don’t get a DM but the forum limits my new DM frequency to 5 mins between I think.

Update:
QC looking good. Any markings on holes you guys see are from me test fitting on my bench.

Ready whenever you guys are.

note: Kammok side mount show for picture only, not included. Below is what I included:

I use the original Kammok long bolts. On the bench it only looks like about 1.5 turns of thread is contacted. Once on the rack and tightened down the bracket pinches in a bit and you get a couple more threads of bite.
I don’t see any issue with this as the forces are not pulling against the threads.

reach out to me and we can get all these rolling.

I just picked up my set from Kelvn in person, and it is of very solid quality. I'll see if I have a chance to mount it this weekend.

Hey Kelvn: appreciate the creativity here. Kammock said they are working on a solution but no insight into when that product would be released. I sent you a message if you still have a set of the adapters available—would love to snag a set!

I saw someone post about that and I did get a resposne from Kammok myself that they were looking into the idea with no timeframe.

Thats the reason why I price them close to cost and don't order too many pieces in case Kammok does a surprise announcement.

Some of you should be receiving your sets as early as tomorrow.

Reach out if you have installation questions.

I was able to install my side mount without any issue and it seems very sturdy and secure on the crossbars.

One tip: if using the default "A2" position, use the middle-angle hole when bolting. When the awning is opened, the bottom hole points downward by about 30 degrees, which will hit the door. If using the top hole, it will point the awning 30 degrees too high.

Post pictures and thoughts, also the 3 holes are options from the Kammok kit. Should be +12.5*, 0*, and -12.5* per their specs.

First batch all shipped/picked up. Thanks all.

I plan to order another 3-5 sets to hold as stock @dce16 I'll let you know when this happens. This also means if anyone else is even mildly interested, let me know.

I just got mine, they look super high quality, thank you!
I wanted to get in on the ground floor with them, and have yet to buy the kammock.

Installed!

Rather brilliant design. Well done @Kelvn! Thank you. Opening the front door is tight but it works!

Clearance is actually too low with the new kneel mode but will just leave at Standard height when deploying the awning.

Crossbar wind noise is now tolerable with the side mount!

how tall are you? I had to make new brackets for our 270 OVS awning because it was too low. And it started off unfolding at about the same level with nothing ending below it.

This is how it should have been from the beginning IMO.
