Covered trailer awning suggestions
Hoping someone might point me in the right direction.
We have a covered Eco IQ trailer and we are looking for an single car awning that we can attach to it Does anyone have any recommendations, as my experience with easy ups is not a happy one and we would prefer to have something attached to the trailer many thanks |

When I towed with a Tranny van converted with some living/sleeping accommodation we attached some caravan type awning rail to the side of the van and bought a cheap caravan awning to attach thereto. Doubled the space available.

I’d speak to the awning company or Weatherweave. Both do made to measure not cheap but by far the best option and you’ll get your money back when you finish with it.

Depends if you want a comparatively flimsy motorhome style roll out awning or a heavier duty type.
Awning Company or similar would be durable, as weatherproof as it gets, but expensive, bulky and a significant payload to your van. Or a heavier duty pop up awning? |

I had a wind out Italian Fiamma one on the side of my racebox as part of a sponsorship deal that worked very well. You could use it to work on the car in the rain and it had zip on sides that we put on and slept in at the weekend meetings.

Another vote for Fiamma . . . .roll out awning, and slide/zip on sides.

Does your particular regulations allow you to do so? What will be the total length? What will be the total weight?
