Awning -side shade

Our campground owner cut some trees down and we had a bad late afternoon/evening sun problem. The angle of our Holiday Rambler Presidential 5th wheel lets the sun in from the west side of our awning cover.

Problem is our dining table is very near the side awning bracket. Has anyone purchased a side awning shade that could meet our application?

Comments welcomed. Thank you.
  • Look for a mesh fabric sun shade that is made with a track to slide into your awning tube. They are very effective! They block sun/provide privacy but yet you can see through. Ours came with a previous RV.

    Amazon has a few....RV awning shade kit

    Edit: After rereading, not sure if you need to cover only 1 end. If so, you should be able to buy a piece of mesh sun shade fabric, cut as needed, and clip to your awning arm.
  • The folks that make the awning sun shade also make a side shade that be reversed and used on the end required. We have the awning shade a LOVE it! We plan to get an end shade in the future.
  • I not only have an awning over my slide out, but an additional awning to provide shade on the slide out as well and a large awning on the right side of our trailer.
