Installing a new awning

So currently my TT does not have an awning installed on it. I know come summer time I will want some extra shade outside. Is it difficult to install an awning? Any special hardware or tools I will need?

It's a 25' Dutchmen TT for what it's worth.

    The question is - did this trailer ever have an awning and if so - manual or power? make / model? If the answer is it did previously have an awning then it would only make sense to install the same type. If it never did have an awning does it have an awning rail? - if not, you'd have to add one.
  • Fairly easy to do. It does need two people to slide it on the top rail. From there on locating the arm mounting points and bolting them in place and a few adjustments and your ready to camp.
