Mr. Ed.
I had a 11' x 10' Sunbrella awning made for my Van.
Color matched in maroon
Doubled up and sewn at the Van side for the 1/4" rod, to clamp to the
drip molding.
Three grommets were sewn into the outside edge--for the tent poles ( I
extend the center one a bit longer so the canvas will have some pitch to
it so the rain water if it rains will roll off.)

It is also ready to have screens velcroed on to the sides, if I want to
make a bug free enviorment inside the van and the canvased area.
Looks good matching the Van and works out very good.

The price?

$160.00 for everything ; Sunbrella, 3 extendable poles, 4 spring clamps,
stakes and ropes.
Not too bad for a custom made unit.

I had it made at a boating canvas shop.
And I chose the Sunbrella because it will never rot, fade, or become
water logged.
Good Evening,

Fred
