It is made by overland vehicle systems. It is identical to the bundatec awning, but much less expensive. It’s pretty awesome. We were in Utah last month for a 25hr mountain bike race and the awning with the all the walls installed lived thru 50mph winds. Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure if the awnings maiden voyage wouldn’t be its last.

Ricky - Is the awning able to pull to a full 270 deg? I just got mine installed and it seems to really strain it to pull the back flat against the back of the trailer. I may need to try moving it back even further than I had it.

If it’s not 270, it’s really close. I tighten the back strap first to get it square with the back of the trailer and then tighten up the front. I also used a paint pen to mark the strap so I know how much to tighten, so it is the same every time. How do you like your awning. I love it!! Have you posted any photos? Send a link

I got it installed and just have a few initial pictures in my gallery and build journal. Overall I'm really happy with it, as the mounting brackets/u-bolts worked well with my 1x1.5 studs, quality seems great, and the clearance with my rear barn doors is perfect. I did not have the anchor points installed for the straps, so I will get some better pictures once I do that. At almost 8.5 ft tall, it is quite a bit of work to adjust/set up/take down, but I'll try moving it back a little bit to see if I can get it closer to 270 deg.

Can’t wait to get the trailer back out. We have a 10 archery trip to Utah and Montana planned this summer.

Pics from our 15 day trip this past summer to park city Ut, and big sky Mt. for a couple total archery challenge events. My boss let me take his brand new truck for the trip. It was so nice to drive. He is the best!

It’s saying my photos are too big. Not sure how to make them smaller

If you're using a Mac, while holding down the control key ... single click on the photo icon of the image you want to make smaller. A menu will come up and near the bottom of that menu is an option that says "quick actions". Hover your mouse over that menu to the selection "convert image" which will allow you to convert your image to a smaller size. I usually select the "medium" option, which seems to be a good size for posting on the TNTTT site.

Nice trailer. Like the stove and the configuration for it.
:thumbsup:
