So I inquired about the rear awning for our FWC Fleet only to find it had been discontinued. After further investigation, I found out why...the price tag! I decided to make one. Here it is!
Got an example of how that would work?nikonron said:Rather than mount the hardware to the camper why not use something at the jack mounting plates instead? Ron

How is the top attached to the roof of your camper?

I used Bimini hardware in stainless. I used Amazon for all of the hardware.munchmeister said:Nicely done Marky! That's exactly what I'd like to do for my Raven shell. Thbanks for the photos. Questions: What kind of hardware did you use for attaching the poles to the camper? Do you have a source for that hardware? Looks like it was made for this application. Any worries about attaching it to the camper wall? I've "studied" some of the photos on the web of FWC aluminum skeleton and it looks like that section is pretty much solid aluminum frame, so less worry driving screws into that part of the camper. Yes? Any additional info (or photos!) appreciated. Well done.
By mounting the poles towards the inside and up high, the straps allow pull the pole ends towards the jack points. This allowed me to not have a third pole on the end of the awning.nikonron said:Rather than mount the hardware to the camper why not use something at the jack mounting plates instead? Ron
