Thanks George, where did you get it, how far above the door is your awning track, and the big question, what did you do to attach the rafter arms to the trailer?

Bob, I purchased on-line from RV Awnings R'US, owned by a retired Vietnam vet, cost was $185 + $25 shipping to NC and it came with the rail included in price. I placed the bottom of my rail at 8" above the door, so that the bag hangs 2" above the door. I used automotive 3M tape to fasten the ball sockets to the trailer; starting year two and still holding strong...

George, thanks for the info, I was concerned that the rafter arms wouldn't work because of the ball sockets not being on a vertical surface.

You could make your own vintage style awning like I did.

We have an extra rope & pole awning from our popup camper that is a foot too wide that we probably could modify, but want a bag awning because it stays on the trailer. Important in a limited storage space unit. Can't get a roll out awning short enough.

Bob, the nice thing about a ball socket is the range of movement; the base does not have to be perfectly vertical for proper fit. If it would help I'll take a couple of pic's later today and post?
