Awning for an 85 Toyota Dolphin

Hello, I recently purchased a 1985 Toyota Dolphin and was thinking about putting an awning on it. What type of awning or specific awning would you recommend? Thanks AJ

Here's some good info about awnings, types, fabrics, pros n cons...  https://campersmarts.com/best-rv-awning (despite the ads, the info is good).


You'll have the same challenge I have, how to avoid door-to-awning interference.  I'm probably going to mount a slightly shorter one, to the side of the door instead of directly over it.

 

I haven't decided in my case either, so I'll be curious to know what you do!   Post pictures & thoughts after you install.   ....I am likely to go with a somewhat cheaper "bag awning", check http://www.shademakerproducts.com/bag-awnings.

I have a 85/86 Dolphin and i ended up going with a Dometic bag awning. for a couple reasons. its lighter then the big metal awnings. its easier to install. (at least mine was) I also found mine brand new on craigslist for 45 bucks in the box still. Its been installed now for a good year and its nice to have and when its put away i dont even know its there. they come in many different sizes and colors. just my two cents.
