How much does it cost parts and labor to

what length awning do you want?
bumpy

What size of awning? 14', 16', 18' etc...Brand? A&E, Carefree? You want everything (arms, tube, etc or just the canvas?

2 separate 13' awnings (manual---due to span) $493.42/ea plus $120/hr shop rate at 4 hrs

Roughly $1466.84 PLUS local tax

thanks.

I am sorry but I need more information.
Are you looking for a manual or electric awning?
Location where you want it done is a factor as labor rates vary by as much as 50-60 bucks an hour with 4 hours about right for the job
Would like to see the side of your RV to get an idea of how long is perfect.
Even though you are 31 feet, 25 feet is probably long enough
A manual awning can be had for about $1100.00.
Headed to Quartzite you might get a deal
labor?

I would like the manual awning and trailer is in San Fernando valley near Los Angeles.

Here's the pic. the box itself is 27 ft and total length is 31 ft from hitch to spare tire.

One big thing to consider with your rig is the doors. They look high on the sides, and will an awning fit and still allow the doors to swing open?

Some people put little wheels on the tops of their doors so that they do not scrape the awning, but whether it's the screen door or the main door that opens while the awning is out, both might contact the fabric.

I have seen some installations that actually mount the awning up over the roof somewhat, and that might help in your case.

Sometimes, especially just for shade, it might be better to consider some kind of collapsible but self contained awning, or even hooks into the top edge and tarps instead of a full pull out. The beauty of each is the many places you can use it.

I agree. Boy those door tops are right up to the top of the camper. Probably why there's no awning on there. I don't see how an awning can be used.

I would just use a screen house. I don't use my awning a lot as I usually have shade from trees, it's extra work, and can damage the trailer if wind takes. If windy I use tie downs but again, it's extra time and work.

I only use the awning if I don't have shade trees and there's mosquitoes or flies out. Otherwise, I may use the screen house for bugs and sun. You also can get sap from trees all over which is even more work cleaning your awning.

My best recommendation is to use a screen house and forget about an awning.
