Replacement Awning?

One advantage of the stand-alone canopy is that you can quickly take it down if wind gets too much. I often camp where high winds can come unexpectedly, thus I rarely ever use the awning.
One disadvantage is that it's another thing to move in & out when setting and breaking camp.

I saw a DYI'er make neat weights using clay or plastic pots filled with concrete. They inserted PVC pipe in the middle for the awning legs. A small metal loop was embedded into the concrete to attach a tie-down or bungee cord.

My thanks to those taking time to respond. It looks like a PopUp can really only have a light-weight (aka cheap) awning. I may look at a stand-alone canopy that we would setup at the camper's door.

If you want to stitch your awning back on, this works well, but it is slow work.

I forgot to stake down my awning and the wind sent it over the roof, taking out the roof vent.

Now I get to repair both the awning and the vent.

The reason for the bag awnings is they are lightweight - something a bit more robust, like you would see on more traditional RVs, might be too heavy.

I have seen folks make weights to go on the bottom of their poles that drop to the ground or run rope down to the weights like you would when you could use stakes. This is especially helpful for when you're on asphalt or concrete and cannot drive a stake into the ground. Others have used empty containers for travelling but fill them up with water to make heavy weights.

In my experience, there's two general manufacturers of bag awnings used by the industry: Dometic and Carefree Of Colorado. There are some other manufacturers. My first PUP had probably an 8' or 9' awning because it was a 10' box. I would say that it was fairly lightweight as far as quality and heft goes. I want to say it was a Dometic. All support legs were loose and the vertical legs came straight down to the ground, not attaching to the PUP body at all. My current PUP has a 14' box and a 13' awning and has a big difference in design and heft. The legs still come straight to the ground but are permanently attached to the front support bar. Only the horizontal supports (three instead of two due to the overall length) are loose. I would say that the perception of quality is higher with this one.

Are they like what you would find on a travel trailer? Nope, not at all. Just remember that whatever weight that is added to the roof, such as a better awning, is weight that the lift system and the person running the crank handle have to deal with.

I bought two sets of the awning tie downs from Wally World and stake my awning out with two (1 on straight, on each end of the awning and one on each side ) the pegs are the screw in type like dog stakes. Also my lower awning rails drop down clip into the bracket mounted on the side of the PUP.

Another thing remember to unroll the awning before you raise the camper all the way up and let it down 1/2 or 3/4 to roll it up.
