Wrote a previous review about the install process and design. Checking in after a year of heavy use.
Through four seasons and ~6 months of travel, completely happy and no complaints. Have barely had to tension hardware after traveling through blazing deserts and Teton winter.
There are so many different ways to use it, it looks great, and hasn't scuffed much or faded in the sun.
I added the awning later but wished I just did it at the beginning.
The ladder/pole/fairing don't whistle at all on my van. Clearing snow off if it in winter is pretty easy with the ladder.
I've seen no downside. It opens up tons of possibilities on how to configure your setup. I'm always eyeing the other racks out there and still think this one looks the best.
