While in Florida last month, I looked at a neighbors that was a pretty nice set up.
It had about a 1 to 2-foot piece that rolled into the awning. It connected in the slot on the tube. Then, he had to tie an extension to that when unrolled. His had grommets and he strung the extension on every time.
I asked if a version was available with a zipper. That would be much easier and not much more bulk rolled under the cover.
I'm looking for the right one. Our awning is pretty much useless by being up so high. It shades the MH but doesn't throw much shade on the patio area.
The extension could also serve as a tie down.
I'm not going to worry about rolling up a foot or two with the rest of the awning. Now, the entire length of an extension might be a little too much.
The neighbor said his system has worked well, and he had traveled extensively up and down the East coast. He also said that using it as a tie down worked in very windy conditions. He got it from a local Florida company that came on site, measured and installed it right there.
I don't think they will come to WV to do mine, will they? I'm sure one can be mail ordered with some careful measuring.
Didn't get the name but there are a few companies in the net that do this.
