Title: Racer size awning?
Post by: Protech Racing on August 14, 2019, 12:02:50 pm
 I know that  there are a few of us racing things. Has anyone added/replaced the large awning  with one large enough to be more usefull?  As in fit a car under it.

PO put a large Girard on mine.  No vertical arms, big and electric.  Not cheap.  I'll see if I have a pic of it open.

I have the big Girard too. Having no arms is nice, just drive under. My extends 9 or 10 ft.
Problem is, it doesn't take much wind to trigger the retract. Mel at MOT said that to have a new one installed, would be $9000+ for a u320. Guess it depends on how long you want it. Lots of backing plates inside coach.

When we race theres never enough room next to us. They pack us in like sardines. very seldom do we get to put our big awning out. I feel your pain!
