Reddog, I have tried to come up with a way to put sides on my awning. The way the arms attach to the awning and then the truck, I have not been able to come up with an acceptable method.
Not being too thin skinned (I dont think), but I did not see where I said " you get what you pay for". Perhaps this was directed somewhere else and I misunderstood .
Not sure of our name brand. We looked into putting a waterproofing application on it, but have not as of this time. We have seen a couple more that stated they were waterproof. We just keep learning as we go.
The awning is quicker for me than the shelter. Wife does not really help, so I am on my own.
Everything is good. No hard feelings.
