Post your Camp Awnings

[mosupernak]

Hi all! Didn't want to steal JonnyS's thread even though they are pretty similar. My friend and I will be Overlanding in Baja from May to June. I think some kind of awning/shade would really be nice to get out of the sun. Considering a freestanding shelter type or building one from the side (or more likely the back) of my runner.

Any thoughts on freestanding v truck-side and/or pics of what you all use could be a great help!

Thanks Marc

Well I am enjoying my Hannibal awning. The pluses are fast setup and the ability to move the vehicle with the sun. I also have the side walls so I can use it to get out of the weather if need be.

Thanks Gear and AdventureDuo those both look convienent and pretty rugged. I didn't think about having to move your setup with the sun.

camping lab 79"er, here. Almost sold it, but realized that we can use it on an upcoming trip, so it'll likely stay in the quiver.

I'll find you a pic or two.

No its a 1978 Boler 13' fiberglass trailer - they were built from the early 1970's to the mid-1980's and then the Scamp Trailer company bought the molds. It weighs around 900 lbs and tows like a dream. I just sold it for $3600 to help finance my Porsche 356 restoration.
