Product Description 

 Simple 

Installation. 

 Easy 

setup. 

 

The rolled up awning stores in a heavy duty zippered vinyl bag attached to 
the RV. 

 

Self-storing arms and braces simply fold up into the lead bar. 

 

The pitch can be set to optimize shade and rain run-off. 

  The vertical support arms can be attached to the RV or set in the carport 

position to provide an open walkway from the side of the awning.
