A quality awning is one of the best upgrades for any touring or camping vehicle, but it's only as secure as the mounting system supporting it. OCAM Awning Mounting Blocks are designed to provide a solid, heavy-duty mounting base between your awning and OCAM tubular roof rack. By increasing the contact area between the awning brackets and the roof rack, mounting blocks help improve stability while reducing stress on individual mounting points. Whether you're fitting a compact pull-out awning or a larger 270° wing awning, the correct mounting hardware is essential for a safe, reliable installation. OCAM's mounting blocks are manufactured from durable powder-coated steel and supplied with the hardware required for installation.
Ideal for 270° Awnings
Large 270° awnings can weigh considerably more than standard straight awnings and place additional loads on the roof rack.
Awning mounting blocks provide additional support by creating a stronger mounting interface, helping distribute the load across the roof rack while reducing movement during travel.
Designed for OCAM Roof Racks
These mounting blocks are designed specifically for OCAM aluminium tubular roof racks and are also suitable for many compatible platform roof rack systems with similar mounting profiles.
Before purchasing, always confirm compatibility with your roof rack and awning to ensure correct fitment.
Roof racks with mesh floors require minor modification, (mesh flooring cut-out), during installation to allow the mounting blocks to fit correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are awning mounting blocks?
Awning mounting blocks provide a solid mounting interface between an awning and a compatible roof rack. They help distribute loads more evenly and create a stronger, more stable installation, particularly for heavier 270° awnings.
Do I need mounting blocks for a 270° awning?
Large 270° awnings are significantly heavier than standard pull-out awnings and benefit from a stronger mounting system. Mounting blocks help provide additional support and improve load distribution across the roof rack.
Are these mounting blocks only for OCAM roof racks?
These mounting blocks are designed for OCAM roof racks but may also suit other compatible platform roof rack systems with similar mounting profiles. Always check the product specifications before purchasing.
Are mounting bolts included?
Yes. Each mounting block is supplied with the required M8 mounting bolts as specified in the individual product listing.
Can I fit these to a roof rack with a mesh floor?
Yes. Roof racks with mesh flooring may require a small section of mesh to be trimmed and removed to allow the mounting blocks to be installed correctly. Refer to the product information before installation.
