Magnetic Awning Support — Thule Omnistor & Thule Hideaway

Drop the leg into the nylon foot. The magnetic base anchors it to the side of your van, or to any steel surface. No drilling, no spikes, no guy lines. Mounted in seconds.

Designed in SwitzerlandThule Omnistor · Thule Hideaway56 kg pull per magnetSold as a pair

Anchor the awning. Not the ground.

An awning that is not anchored moves. The legs wander. The fabric flexes in the wind. The ground is the usual answer, and it rarely cooperates — gravel, rock and tarmac do not take a stake. So you fix it to the van. Three ways exist. One without a catch.

Option

Ground stakes

Need soft ground. Gravel, rock and tarmac say no. Slow where you actually park.

Option

Drilled bracket

Holes in the panel. Water in. Rust after. Resale value down. Permanent.

Option

Vacuum mount

Re-pump every 2–3 hours. Worse when the panel is hot. The panel is hot when you want shade.

This mount

Tactic magnet

56 kg pull per magnet. No holes. No pump. Move the van, it comes with it.

Will it hold on your van?

The rule: the magnet needs steel underneath. Most van side panels are steel. Some are not, and a few vans mix the two — steel body, aluminium doors.

Holds

Steel panel — this is most vans A flat area, cleaned before mounting

Does not hold

Aluminium panel — no magnet does Curved or ribbed areas — any air gap reduces the hold Paint build-up, wrap or dirt between magnet and steel

Still not sure?

Send us your van — make, model and year. We will tell you which panels hold.
