Their website really sux. What did that run?

I agree the website is not great. I ordered from here:

Van Cafe: Vanagon Parts - Shady Boy Awning | Camper

Including the mounts It was kinda expensive, but the weight functionality and style make it worth it.

Can you adjust the height of the poles? Is the material attached all the way across the case?

Looks pretty good and I really like the weight savings compared to ARB and similar.

Nice set up! About how long is the case for that awning?

 

[Mick1]

So the down poles are 2 piece and not adjustable, they are optional. The awning is functional w/o them but a wind may force the awning down w/o them or make it flap.

I just put the side poles on and then use the guy wires attached to the truck to snug them to the ground.

I experimeted w installation but ended up drilling through the aluminum shady boy case and threading the four treks bolts into the fourtecks mount.

Set up is pretty much like any tent. Hard until you know what poles go where, then pretty easy once you have done it before.

Case is 4 feet. Material is attached across entire case. It folds over twice. total is 10'opened.

Check out the cheesy video on right lower side of following webpage for set up
