Me and my buddies decided to buy an old RV for tailgating at the University of Georgia football games. Once we started using it, we realized we wanted some type of outdoor cover. We found the Awntech and figured for as little as it costs, we might as well give it a shot. It was tough to figure out how to mount the brackets to the outside of the motor home since you are supposed to put it on a house, but once we did that it worked well for what we needed. Not sure how long it will last since the frame and retractable arms are very lean but like I said for the money we paid it is just okay.
