Homemade window awning

Thought I would like some window awnings for my dinette and sofa windows to keep the evening sun out. But I looked and saw they would be about $500 for 2 4.5foot awnings from Carefree thru camping world. Being cheap and having a 27 year old class C, I figured I could make one awning that I could put on whatever side the sun was shining on. Used 1 10 foot length of half inch EMT conduit, 1 yard of outdoor fabric from Walmart, a length of 1/2 inch PVC, 2 elbows, 4 rubber cane tips, 4 J hooks, 10 feet of paracord, 2 tent line tighteners.Cost about $25 for everything.

Now those with nice new RVs wouldnt do this, but for those with older units who dont mind attaching some brackets to the side, and are cheap like me, this may be an option! Takes only a minute to put up and maybe 2 to take down and roll up.

Thanks all...and if anyone is wondering, it handles stiff wind with no problem. I wasn't sure it would when I made it but was surprised how well it does.
