as dawnb said: learn how to use it while you are at home. be able to put it up and take it down quickly. DON'T wait until you get somewhere and a storm blows up and you are trying to figure out how to roll it up...or you may regret your awning. from your description, tho, sounds like it will be of great use to you.

I would suggest a 2-step awning if the price is in your budget. Much easier to put up and less likely to whack your head on the awning arm. Wish our trailer had the 2-step, we have the old-fashioned roll down and lift-out kind and can be sometimes difficult to put back up when it gets windy.
The 2 steps are really nice, but I would really research I have known of 5 that came detached from the trailer while in route. Just an FYI

Thanks for info on 2 step. Camper World in Fort Worth told me they no longer offer the 2 step except in window awnings. I didn't bother to ask why as it didn't matter if they wouldn't sell it anyway.
Thanks for all the info. I am taking my trailer to Camper World today for them to measure it for an awning.
