Hi Jim, I have not done the permanent awning yet but came very close a couple years ago. I liked the ARB awning for price, mounting, and it seemed of nice quality. They seem to go on sale around Black Friday and GW has brackets that work. I think I found it at a site called Autoanything. I almost think I’ve seen them sold at GW as well. Keep us posted on your search and decision making. I’m still a fan of the Bus depot 10 foot awning. But, it might be considered a two person job to put up. I do it alone with no real difficulty, and I imagine that task is easier when you can see! But, not really something I’d want to use to just have lunch quickly. It is really for a day or so. I do sometimes have awning envy for those with the pull outs. Eric Caron 85 GL Auto Soon with 2.3 GW Denis built engine

I don’t want a Fiamma style because of the expense and the bulk. I don’t want one that is a two person job that takes all evening either. > > > > Ideas? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Jim > > > > > > |
