Window Awnings
Hi. Looking for advice on a window awning.
We are adding a window awning ( or 2 ) to our Keystone Everest.
The problem I am having is as follows........
Dometic sells them in 6" incriments. The windows we want to cover are 49" outside of trim to outside of trim, but the closest they sell is 54", which is only adding 5". Everything I have read says add 6" to window measurement for correct size. The next size up is 60", which is way too large.
The windows are together, so I could get a 120" to cover both together with one shade.
I will be getting the Elite, which has the metal weathershield, but I am hesitant due to the length.
My question....... What does everyone think about the side wind bellowing catching it while driving? I am afraid having a large awning on the side will catch the wind easier than 2 smaller ones.
Any comments would be appreciated.
