I would really like to learn more about your upgrade to a 270° awning - why you decided on this one, how you mounted it, any changes you might recommend, etc. I have a James Baroud awning on my Jeep and although I use it occasionally it takes some time to deploy, even more to stow, and offers limited coverage. I have been considering the 270s and would love to learn more.
a fellow from central washington, hodakaguy, posts on this site. has done all sorts of conversions, including a unimog. he recommended, and he put one on his dads pop up. its very hvy duty, and easy to set up. really only a few mins. i bought the awning from mule outfitters, as they have a location here in pdx. they also designed mounting brackets. the thing is not light, so once i got the camper back here, i took it out to their shop and had them install.
if you can find a post here from hodakaguy, i think he has links to his builds, and you can see how he installed on his dads pop up. very informative fellow, and both he, and his dad have some building skills.
i got lucky on this site, and found a retired electrical engineer who lives within walking distance from me. he volunteered to help design my elec/solar setup, provided a puchase pick list, with links
. i just had to buy all the stuff, and he came over and helped set it all up. i am a bit clueless on electrical. so now, i have a temp elec setup so i can power fridge/freezer. once i build out some shelving/cabinets, will reinstall in better/final spot.
good luck
