Abstract
Abstract A plurality of main awning panels are mounted on the side of a travel trailer or other mobile housing for pivotal and longitudinal adjustment, and an auxiliary awning panel is pivoted to the outer end of each main panel. Main telescoping legs are pivoted to the main panels for supporting the latter from the ground at various angles of adjustment relative to the mobile housing, and auxiliary telescoping struts interconnect the auxiliary panels and associated main legs for supporting the auxiliary panels in various angles of adjustment relative to the main panels. The auxiliary panels are foldable against the inner sides of the main panels, with the legs and struts interposed between them, for securing the assembly in folded condition against the side of the mobile housing.
