Hi Tom,
We really like our awning and it is very, very well made and sturdy. Typically we do not travel with the awning attached to the R-Pod although we could. Here are some points about the awning:
- We need a ladder to start the awning in the keder rail. (we are only 5"6" at the tallest)
- Helps to have two people, one to thread it and one to pull.
- We cut a short 2" Piece of clear plastic tubing to stuff into the rail at either end of the awning. This keeps it in place and stops it from slipping in the rail when windy etc.
- We use two guy lines on the ends and one for the middle pole.
While it is more work than having one permanently attached to the camper it functions really well. You can reference us to Bear Creek Canvas in reference to the size we ordered.
Hope this was helpful. Kathy
