Having researched similar there are few options I found for truly removable, most of the side mountings that use the roof bolts also need bonding to the van and the ones that clamp on to the multirails need the multirails bonding.
The Fiamma F40 was one of the few as that sits on the roof. Technically they advise bonding the mounts but I know several folks haven't. The one thing to watch is some folks have found it rubs the roof in the middle where it really could do with a third bracket, but you can solve that with some PPF in the area.

I don't think this is possible. Our Thule brackets are permanently attached with blind insert nuts and sikaflex.
The awning case is secured to the bracket with 4 screws so the case could potentially be unscrewed then lifted off, leaving the two brackets on the van.
Don't think I'd fancy lifting it off mind, took two lads to lift and position the thing.
Can I ask, why would you remove the
awning?

In my case because I'm not sure I will keep the van long term and it's not a camper so I'd rather not sell it on with an awning bonded to it.
Hi this came up in a search – I’m thinking about removing my Thule Omnistor 4200 when not in use as last night I had my spare wheel stolen & from the above & a quick look at my Omnistor 4200 it looks like it is just 4 screws to remove the whole awning from the brackets? Is that correct? How easy is it to do – not a one man job? Thanks a lot.
Yeah just 4 screws is my understanding and (although never done it) i think a one man job - especially if that "one man" is a scumbag thief who doesn't care about protecting paintwork!!
I also want my awning to be removable because it's my daily drive. Currently looking at Thule Omnistor 4200 with fittings to the wing bars i already have - styling looks a little awkward but makes for an easy life removing etc.
