roof rack receivers

Make your life easy with a set of Gamiviti rack receivers.   Compatible with just about every small and mid-sized awning, shower enclosure, and other accessories, this innovative quick-release system allows you to mount or dismount your awning or other accessory from your rack in just seconds. A slotted bracket on the awning side will mate to any extrusion spacing, while the receiver side mounts to the rack either above or below the rack surface.   Once installed, you are able to put your awning  onto your vehicle in under one minute, by simply lining up the receivers, sliding it into place, then installing the hitch pins.   This gives you several advantages, the most noteworthy including:

  • Leave your awning in your garage or shed when you don't need it. The sun & weather will fatigue that cover. The added height is more clearance and wind drag, and the presence can sometimes attract unwanted attention... like that guy in the parking lot asking if that's for fishing rods.

  • Easily remove the awning when loading other gear onto your rack- no need to reach over the awning, wrestle straps behind it, or curse at it while you try to zip up that RTT cover. Just set it on the ground while you get all that other stuff squared away, then slide it back on and drive off.

  • Add additional rack side or awning side mounts for greater versatility with adding the right accessory for your next adventure, including the ability to move your awning to either side of the vehicle.

One set contains the male end, female end, and the snap pin to connect them. Bolt them to your rack with the rack hardware, and to your awning or other accessory with the hardware that came with it.   Parts come ready to install to your rack using common tools - a 7/32" hex wrench and 9/16" open end wrench.

2 sets are adequate for most ARB, CVT, and Gamiviti branded awnings. For larger Foxwing, Batwing, 23zero, Overland Vehicle Systems, Darche, Overland Pros, etc. awnings 3 is recommended... and you can use 3 sets on smaller awnings too if you like to overbuild things.  $15 shipping covers any quantity in the US, or bundle these with your rack purchase and pay no extra shipping.   For more tips on how to install, be sure to see the awning installation page.

Backing Plates

Use optional backing plates on the awning side to “sandwich” hollow extrusions, or other items where a simple channel nut is not an option. These backing plates line up with the extrusion spacing of the Fowxing and Batwing awnings, as well as the awning side of our rack receiver brackets, and they’re the same part as the Batwing extension plate sold with our multi brackets. Shown below in use supporting an RLD Ghost Awning 360, use your own hardware custom to your application to sandwich a variety of items between the awning receiver and backing plate.

Additionally, we offer rack-side backing plates for use with rectangular cross bars where you can’t bolt the rack receiver to the cross bar directly. Plates are 4” wide, with 2 holes 3” apart, making them ideal to work around a cross bar that is 2” wide or narrower.

Additional Mounts

Add more rack mounts to the other side or back of your rack, to give you multiple install locations of your awning or shower enclosure. Add more awning mounts to use the same rack mounts to hold multiple items. If you order multiple items, we’ll credit you back the extra shipping calculated as most of this will all fit inside the same $15 box.

Additional Pins

Sometimes we lose things. Or we find an additional use for one of these pins, and want more of them. If that’s you, well you are in luck because yes we stock them, available to ship out any time.
