Hey Danny..I was careful to put the carport on your and Jane's side. Must be some other reason for the screaming :oops: .

To hold them on I just put a piece of pipe insullation on the top speader to protect the tear and use guylines tied off the the frame to hold them at the top. Once you stake it off on the bottom it is very resistant to wind.

Hi Len,

Can you show a few more pics of this awning? I understand the part about how to attach it to the trailer. Mostly I'm wondering how you attach the awning material to the horizontal pipe that is attached to the adjustable poles.

Also do you remove the entire thing and travel with it inside the trailer?

Thanks in advance!

The bow in the PVC is as a result of the curve in the roof of the Shasta. The outer tube (PVC) must be semi rigid. A solid piece that would be straight will not allow the fabric to be taunt on the ends.

Just set it up this morning for photos

Happy Trails
