I'm about to extend the length of my Wilderness rack and figure now is the time to pick up extra tubing for a side deployed awning. I have a modified Hannibal design in mind.
One thing i noted in searching the Hannibal is the pooling of water in rain that was mentioned. I'm wondering if this is because of the typical heavy canvas that is used, so that has me thinking of an alternative material. I immediately thought Sunbrella, although admittedly i know nothing of it, just it's mention here previously.
I'm thinking that a lightweight, ripstop and waterproof material would be ideal. I'd appreciate some leads into potential material choices.
Also, has anyone modified a Hannibal with support under the material to give it pitch and eliminate pooling?
