I have a ARE cx camper that I love. But I would really like to add an awning to it of some type. Easy on and off mounting. Doesn't have to be large. My camper is not load rated but it is nice fiberglas. Thinking of adding some brackets to mount the awning when needed. Has anyone seen one or know if it can be done on the ARE camper? .

Ask and ye shall receive… :)

did mine a couple weeks ago. Brackets are the tricky part. Most awnings come with them BUT you may need to google Awning Roof mounted brackets to find one that works perfectly for your setup.
I spaced mine a tad fuether from the camper top due to some lights mounted under it and some brackets mounted the awning too high and i had garage door clearance issues.

I ended up using the extended brackets that came with the anwing and then braced them with a ubolt system and the T-nuts in the rails.

Looks great . I'll try to make it easy to remove when not in use.
