FAQs

Answers to common questions about trailer awnings.

 

What size awning do I need?

You will need to measure your awning rail to determine the width yours will take. It’s alright to go a little into the front and/or back curve, just don’t go far. It’s okay to not use the entire rail, but you don’t want the awning longer than the rail.

How do I get it tight?

Make sure your ropes on the corners are pulling out from the trailer and away from each other. Some folks use two ropes for each pole.

How do I store my trailer awning?

I provide a nice stuff bag to keep your awning in and clean during travel. Just roll it up and stuff it away.

How long do I have to wait for my order?

Usually I can make your awning within 2-3 days of placing your order. However in the peak of camping season, it could be longer. I can advise you on that when you place your order.

How far out do the trailer awnings go?

Common length away from the trailer is 8’; Airstreams usually go to 9’ because their rails are high and back from the edge.

Where do I get poles and rope tighteners?

I can provide the popular rope tighteners, 15’ nylon ropes. and 10” tent stakes. At this time i do not have poles for sale. Please check with your favorite Camping Supply store for 8’ Extension tent poles with a tip.

How do I clean my trailer awning?

This is very sturdy fabric. I start with dish soap like Dawn and a scrub brush. If your stain is more stubborn work up to a stronger soap. To get out pine sap or pitch, any kind of orange cleaner (even hand cleaner) will remove pitch safely.
