(Sort of worth it.) Install it yourself with the somewhat confusing instructions and save the $30 installation fee. The van mounting kit is the most dubious value at $42, but necessary. I love the awning. When you get the hang of it, it's an easy one-person operation. I called Carefree of Colorado, but they weren't very helpful, so I just went with the A&E.
