McDave..I like the look of that awning. I also like that you can mount it higher up using brackets..And the price

great find..I'm finding carefree and others to be in the 1200US to 1500Cdn prices so yours looks like a gem. I would want to add some vertical legs and you say that is an option. I would want to put a mosquito room around the awning so vertical legs would define the corners. Although now that I think of it, every time I take in the awning, I would have to take down the mosquito netting..Probably not such a big deal.
What does your awning unit weigh McDave
Domo...that is a great unit you've built. For me I want ease of setting up and with the trailer being fairly tall would be a fair bit of work for a short guy like me to get up and down often.
Flyboy if your monitoring this message, I understand you used a Aleko rv awning..I've been looking at that also..1/2 the price of the carefree unit. Just wondering what your thoughts are
Thanks again for the feedback guys
Cheers
Al
