...Plus how to install a window awning in six easy steps. If you have been around RV’s, you have probably heard many horror stories about RV awning mishaps. There was the camper who didn’t lower one end of the awning to allow for water run-off and the weight of the water, during a steady rain, tore the awning fabric from the side of the RV. There was the camper who decided to leave the awning out while they headed to the beach for a couple of hours. When they returned to the campsite they discovered the awning hardware and fabric was on top of the RV, due to a strong gust of wind from a storm that suddenly moved in. There was the camper, which in this case was me, who was driving down the Interstate and the awning tried to unfurl as we were traveling. In my own self defense it was because of a defective awning lock on our new RV at the time. And there was Robin Williams in the movie “RV” who left the campground with the awning still out, in an attempt to make a hasty retreat from his pesky neighbors.

There are many other campers with many other awning horror stories to tell. My goal with this e-book is to make sure you are not one of those campers, with one of those awning stories to tell around the campfire.

The good news is the awnings on your RV can and will provide many years of reliable trouble-free operation, if we take the time to properly care for and maintain our RV awnings.
