How much does it cost parts and labor to have awning installed to my 31 foot (hitch to bumper) travel trailer? Any contractors here?

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.
