In a recent post about the Shady Boy awning, Ron Lussier said "My
favorite awning is:
http://www.vanagon.com/info/accessories/shady_boy/

The price on this page says USD$490 (installed)  When I wrote to the
Canadian email address (on Ron's page) and asked about the price, I
received the email below, the price in CDN$ is 395.  At about 1.5 to
1 that makes the price in USDs about USD$265.  It is a really cute
awning, and for that price in USDs, it is quite reasonable.

Just FYI    Malcolm Stebbins
