I have a Shademaker awning. I bought it new as over stock on ebay. I bought the 8 foot wide model. The fabric is one piece. I do not leave it on the trailer when not in use. I keep it stored inside the trailer when I travel. My trailer sits out in the California sun every day. At 5'3" vertically challenged I have to have a step stool to slide the awning into the awning rail. I put the awning inside the trailer through the rear sliding window. It will fit through the door on my 13 foot
Scamp but its a bit awkward trying to keep the belly out of the way while swinging it out the side door.
When I had my old pop up trailer with the 12 foot awning kept on the side of the trailer every day, it was always wet when you opened it up even though here in Socal you can count rainy days on your finger.
