Also unlike the fold up/roll up ones available, like engel redarc etc, which are very flexible but expensive. These appear to be mounted on a 1 - 1.5mm sheet of aluminium, and have similar flexibility. For example, you could bend a curve with a large diameter but you couldn't fold it over in half.
The main advantages for camping I think are 80-90% less weight, easy to store, can be mounted on the camper with Velcro, clips or tape and moved really easily when parked and they don't have those hard sharp edges that scratch everything.
They seem to perform about the same as the old style but without scientific testing I recon they are a little more shade tolerant.
