Hey all, where can I get an Awning to add to our trailer?

I just need to buy one, I can install it myself. Preferably in Ohio, so I can pick it up and not have to ship it.

Thanks in advance.

One suggestion - they have made great improvements in awnings: ones that are easily operated by one person, have arms that don't have to be positioned so far down on the trailer (with the old style you have to walk around and can't go underneath the arm, and lastly they even dip down and let the water run off if too much collects.

They probably cost a bit more, but what an improvement over the old style.  I have friends that have one that is electrically operated.  Now that's really nice, if ya got the bucks.

Great, and thanks. I just called them, and I can get a 14' complete awning for around $600.00 - doesn't sound too bad.

Most camping stores should be able to assist with this.  Most RV's are made in the Middlebury Indiana area.   Not sure how close you are to this area.  There are alot of surplus RV supply stores in this area.  You might be able to find a good deal on an awning there.

I purchased a new awning two years ago from Stoney's RV in Cambridge Ohio, not sure where Ashland is. $600 sounds like a resonable price.

Cabelas have those EZ Ups too:

I wondered how those were to set up and how much space they take up.

One of the major manufactures of Awning is   Carefree of Colorado,

Check out their website, I suspect, somewhere on it they list how to buy their product.

Hi!
I am also researching awnings.  Thanks for the info on this posting.  Seems that most directions point to a Carefree awning.  I found the Sundowner of Ohio site (which sells Carefree) on google.  Picking it up would probably save a lot in shipping.  Tho, I'm seeing several sites that say they won't ship.

Anyone have experience with the Spirit FX model. Acrylic or Vinyl?

The Carefree website has a good comparison chart for different models

I suspect mine is just the simplicity  model.  there is no name or model info on the documentation that came with the trailer other than Carefree of Colorado. .  Mine is 20' long.  So it covers most the entire length of my box. It was a little confusing to set upt he first time, having no previous experience with awnings. But no big deal now that I've done it a few time.

I've had pretty good snow and water loads on it.  I use the awning to try and keep the ground outside the door and along side the trailer dry, so I don't track the mud in the trailer. So I leave it up even when storms threaten.  Last falls Elk hunt found it with 6-8" of snow on it one morning. I've learned to make the angle a little steeper when a storm is coming. So the water doesn't puddle in it.
