Awning protector

Like this maybe.........http://store.jandsrvparts.com/awningprotech5743uv.html

When the OP said "hard awning cover" I was thinking of the cover being hard, not the awning. What I had in mind was a cover you could make to protect a rolled canvas awning. If this is what you need, I think you could make one yourself out of PV piper similar to the one shown in the other reply. I don't think this would worl for a hard awning however.

Yes, Redbakk - that's the one. In an earlier edition of "The wanderer" the same company advertised a PVC pipe clip-on model at much less cost, but this was strictly for protecting a rolled-up vinyl/canvas awning from the elements while parked or camped somewhere. It could not be left in place while travelling, and therefore offered no protection from tree branches, etc..., encountered when going to free camping spots in particular. On a couple of occasions I have been fortunate not to rip my awning as I manoeuvred through scrub and treed country with my off-road caravan. The more expensive model now advertised would have protected the awning itself, although the cover might have copped a few scratches, but being extruded aluminium it should be able to take this light punishment.
