Slide Out Awnings

Our 5er has 3 slides and none have a slide awning. I'd like to add and awning to each. What are the top choices for awnings and where can I purchase? Looking for top brands and models. Don't want cheap but don't want the Rolls Royce either. Just want solid system that is reliable.
  • Carefree is now owned by Dometic, although they will keep using the
    carefree brand name. Carefree and dometic are both good quality awning companies,

    Yes, you can have your local dealer install them for you. Our last RV did not have slide out awnings and the dealer installed them for us.

  • Heck I dont see a need for the best. Mine have been on 10 years with only one issue I had to deal with. Carefree is probably the biggest builder.
