Abstract

Abstract The awning for a camper or trailer or similar vehicle is provided along one edge with a fixture for reception in a rail usually attached to this type of vehicle. The fixture comprises two tubular members joined by a webbing, one tubular member is receivable within the rail connected to the camper or trailer and the other tubular member is provided with a longitudinal slot adapted to receive the pocket formed on the awning along the upper edge thereof. This pocket usually receives a rope and the awning body extends outwardly through the slot in said tubular member of the fixture with the lower edge of said awning provided with a pocket to receive a bar or tube with supporting posts to maintain the awning in position of service. The construction allows a single workman to attach the awning to the rail or to disassemble the awning from the rail for storage purposes. When the awning is erected, winds will not effect the same in a manner to dislodge the awning from the rail and will likewise assure that rain and other inclement weather will not cause leakage between the awning and the rail.
