Dano-Mich, Howdy;
Wind like water is a force that most folks underestimate. The wall thickness is only about 0.030"
You will not only be dealing with a constant assault from the front but indirect gusting winds from
the side so, you will need to beef up the mounting points. I'd suggest something that is fastened to
the studs (ribs), that you can securely mount your awning to.
I do agree that the small surface area will not do much for relief from either sun nor rain. Perhaps
a section of pipe wielded to the tongue that you could slide a patio umbrella shaft into???
