Truck Awning, would you want one?

[Grimor]

So, I was looking around for a decent awning that I could just pull out the side of the truck and stow just as easily. I didn't really find anything I liked for a decent price. So I'm working with a (Chinese) company to make a custom size one that should look right on our trucks.


would be 6' x 6' with a 6' extension and fit with our rails. And since some of us are lifted, the legs will adjust from 72"-96"

possible screen or changing rooms available if enough people express interest.

Shooting for less than $300 for the awning with extension

No commitment, but am I alone in wanting one?

Good news, MOQ (Min order Qty) is only 20 units. So this increases the chances of this becoming a real product.

Just can't justify it honestly. Maybe twice in 5 years have I actually thought...man do I wish I had an awning right now. I do think they are cool and look at them occasionally. The Aussie's have some awesome ones that swing around from side to rear of truck. Smittybilt has a reasonably priced option as well if you do not get to 20.

I like the wing ones that wrap around

If I could find one that not either 4' or 8' I might consider one. I'm really wanting that nice clean 6' length when stored.

As Kyle said you can look at smittybilt and see how theirs is... http://www.4wheelparts.com/Outdoor-Lifestyle-and-Camping/Retractable-Awning.aspx?t_c=88&t_s=565&t_pt=9575&t_pn=S%2fB2787

It is 6.5 feet so close to what you want. Cheap and available.

I might order one just to see if I like the fit. side poles look a bit light weight

Depending on how the poles are you may be able to swap them out.
