For thos that are interested, here is some more info I got from the
manufacturer:
> the price is the same for all fabrics. The awning comes with two flat V
> shaped brackets which are attached to the roof portion of the
> Van. They are
> located under the pop up roof. Stainless sheetmetal screws are also
> supplied..I do have an optional set of clamps ($10) that work in
> conjunction with the standard brackets. I do not recommend those
> since many
> people are concerned about theft. Attaching the standard brackets with
> screws is the best and more secure way. If you want to transfer the awning
> to a different vehicle you can buy
> small plastic caps to finish off the resulting holes which are
> anyway under
> the roof and not so visible such as holes left at the side of the Van..The
> awning can be removed for the winter from the brackets but it may not be
> worth your while since the total weight is only around 14 Lbs..
