Yes. One of the advantages I forgot to mention in my original post. Ours protects all of that same stuff plus our TV, satellite receiver and sound bar. We always have dry chairs to sit on in the early morning -- even a couple extra for our friends who camp beside us a lot. They have an electric awning and their chairs are always wet, so they come sit under our awning just about every morning.
