Track Awning for Scamp 13

Now I need to measure the roof for a custom old fashioned style awning!

I forgot to mention that I made two awnings. The one in the pic is great for sun but not waterproof. So I took a 9 X 11 white tarp, sewed hems for the PVC pipe and added a cute retro flounce like you see on my sun awning. Totally waterproof with a touch of class ... and very inexpensive to make.
Maybe I should make a couple of these to take to the February meet in Quartzsite.

Hers is an old post on installing a bag awning.

55goddess and anyone else: My husband really wants to buy an awning for our 16' Scamp and being in Utah, some shade from the sun is always a good thing. However, I'm reluctant to start drilling holes in her because I don't know what I'm doing. I'd be really interested in some more details and photos if you have them. I know Norm and Ginny (honda03842) have one and some good instructions but I'm always looking for more tips. No hurry -- it's freezing here for a couple more months and I don't want to go out until everything defrosts!

Im in agreement about drilling holes through my egg. I don't want to have to worry about dripping inside, so the idea of a pole passing through a sleeve instead of a boltrope makes sense...wont effect the aerodynamic shape and doesn't always need to be set up.

Agreed, Deryk. I like Norm's idea and plan to shop around Seattle Fabric in the near future.
