Roy in Jax Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Today I installed a 12' triangle sun shade sail canopy on the Sunrader. I was looking for something light weight, not much money and simple to install and take down. I purchased a Sun shade sail canopy on Ebay for less than $20, bought three eye bolts. I already had a tent pole (sailing mast) but 2" PVC would work also. I drill two 1/4" holes in the Sunrader and installed the eye bolts rubber washers alone with two metal washer for each bolt. Installed on of the eyebolts to the top of the mast. I am using 2" PVC as an anchor to the ground. When camping with a wooden table around, I will be using a C-clamp to attach mast to table for support. The canopy will be stored in the RV when not in use. It will be nice to have some shade while camping in Florida.The pvc can be driven in the ground to support the mast quarter inch Eye bolts install on roof.JPG]It was hard drilling the two 1/4" hole in the roof after all my past roof repairs.

linda s Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 76 people viewed this post. It looks pretty neat but kind of small for anything except for our tiny Sunraders. I couldn't find anything else like it on ebay. What did you search to find it. I might be interested in something like this. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy in Jax Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Linda, there is a sell on Ebay who sells 8x10 house Awnings, that have sold for less than $130. Sellers name is Epicsellers 51167. I thought one could adapt this to the RV, after installing a zipp cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey 4x4 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I got lucky with finding my awning at a junkyard on an old Dolphin and got it for $200. It is in great condition and the colors matched my Escaper perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
