Thom, another thing I like about your awning is that it is wider than mine. I like that mine travels the length of the trailer and then some, but it is only about 8' out from the side of the trailer. Other than that, I LOVE it.

Here is the awning in action. It stuck to the trailer like glue, had no trouble in gusty wind, and gave us a lot of room down the *length* of the trailer.

In the photo above, you can see the bungee tie-downs, which were actually amazing. Since each had large hooks at both ends, I was able to tie the trailer corners off in two directions each. This one hooked onto the spare tire cover's wing nut, and then stretched over to hook on a tree branch. Easy peasy.

Here's a look at the front:



So this end hooked onto the far side of the rock guard, and also down to the frame. Completely secure.

There is both a built-in vent at the very top (which is leak-proof) and then this big "window" vent which can be opened and closed. Once the awning was up and the wind freshened, I just ran a broomstick up to release the velcro and allowed the flap to, erm, flap.



So, KingCamp on Amazon, $80, very happy!
