I NEED one of those!

I've been waiting to see pics of the single awning over that slide. Thanks for posting ... that is what I want for my Grand Canyon...same colors too, to match. Did that come from Camping World, was it made to your specs or ordered as to sizes they had available and what was the install like? I'll have to make sure my resources for the installation can handle the job!
Looks great!

Yes I ordered it from CW, they had it on sale. I'm not sure if it is now or not. They are made to order from the factory and arrived in 6-7 days. They install was not too bad, about 1 1/2 hours. I was on a fairly steep downslope on that side and it was a little difficult because of that. I did it alone, but I recommend that you have help installing the mounting rail and sliding the awning into that rail. You really need 4 hands, 2 at each end (about 12 feet apart), otherwise it is tough. I ordered it with the metal shield to match the awning, and it extends about 6 -8 inches beyond the windows. Freight ran about $75 because of the length, and the delivery address has to be accessible to an 18 wheeler or pick it up at the truck terminal. It really helps a lot keeping the sun out. The color is fawn.

Finally ordered a window awning ...
ct0218 ...
Just ordered a full window awning for my slide on the Grand Canyon. Since we were taking the little trip to Knoxville, etc... I called Camping World and ordered the 11ft. polar white/fawn awning with metal shield and they will install it on the Friday that we head home. I'm excited it after looking at your pics again and about covering up those windows with summer on the way ... I'm sure it will help keep that hot sun out of those dining slide windows!

Well ... I mentioned the awning purchase to him on my last email about our trip over there and he didn't mention anything ... I also found out that they have had death in the family and dealing with that, so ... I'm just looking forward to seeing them again ... I can say that they have saved me plenty $$$ on my initial trip last year and I feel well ahead of the game, so to speak!

BTW ... they have a special on the awnings ... free shipping or installation (I chose the shipping, of course) and I also got free 3 year extended warranty ... so ... I'll have to feel good about that!

The awning can't help but make things better, for sure! My GC is parked with the doorside facing East and that sun shines and beats down on the unit until mid afternoon so there is no way I can go wrong there!

Hi Andy, My name is Terry not Larry but since I wrote the Quote that you included in your post, I will try to answer your question. The door side slideout is a little over 12ft long. The awning is an A&E Dometic and is app 128 inches long. The model number is 8483000-402B, product number 958397588. The awning is mounted at the top 5 inches from the inside of the trim, and the awning arm is mounted 4 1/2 inches from the inside of the trim at the bottom. I was trying to measure by myself so all the numbers are approximate.Hope all this helps. If you have any more questions let me know. We really, really enjoy the second awning.I don't think you will be sorry if you install it. Terry
