I bought a Shady Boy awning directly from Equinox (Wolfgang). Its was
the silver fabric model, didn't buy the down draught poles (I have
poles if needed), was about 280 Canadian.

Installation requires drilling holes into van, pretty easy, took me
about 30 minutes to get it all attached.

The fabric appears to be a fairly light ripstop nylon, coated with (I
am guessing) urethane. Has a slightly rubbery feel.

Deployment (without down draught poles) must take all of 3 minutes.

In all but still air I guyed down the awing with supplied lines. The
awning will get blown up towards vertical in a breeze.

I never did use my poles, I didn't encounter any down draught
situations :)

It looks very good, plenty of headroom. One can adjust the guy lines
to alter the "pitch" of the awning to shed water outwards. But....

There is one weakness, the side extensions, either side of the awning
case, do not lie over the van gutters so any water will spill towards
the van and down the van sides if the awning is not dipped enough.
That means if the sliding door is open, water will wet the inside of
said door.

Its a small thing, but can be annoying.

Rolling the awning back up and into the case was not a problem for
me, I could get the poles wrapped up tight in the fabric and the case
lid shut easily. Takes about same time to stow as deploy.

All in all I would recommend the awning. It really does look tidy and
cool.
