Different types of RV awnings are available for variable climates, including fixed, slider, roll-up, automatic, and patio awnings. Fixed and slider awnings are cheap but require maintenance, while automatic and roll-up awnings are expensive but easy to use. Patio awnings create a covered area outside the RV.
Since most RVs often travel to variable climates, it’s generally a good idea to be prepared for different types of weather. For this reason, there are several types of RV awnings available, and vehicle owners often choose based on their budget and needs. For example, fixed awnings are typically permanently attached over the windows and doors, while RV slider awnings are typically stored under the roof of the vehicle until needed for use. Some awnings are little work for the RV owner since they can come up automatically, including roll-up and automatic awnings. Finally, patio awnings can be set up outside of a stationary RV to create an area sheltered from sun, wind, and rain while still allowing users to enjoy the outdoors.
Many RVs have fixed awnings that are permanently attached to the vehicle so that the windows and doors are protected from the sun. Unfortunately, an attached awning is not usually safe to put up while driving, as it can fall off, so it’s not a very popular type. However, the fixed RV awnings used by some vehicle owners are usually small and inexpensive. Of course, sliding tops are also cheap, but they are considered safer since they are usually stored under the roof of the vehicle. It can be removed by the RV owner when necessary, and generally requires little maintenance.
There are some large RV awnings that are quite easy to use as they are automated meaning owners don’t have to take them out of storage to use them. For example, RV roll tops typically deploy from an RV storage area at the push of a button, although they can also be manually removed. Automatic retractable RV awnings can also be used normally with the push of a button and usually retract automatically as well. Of course, these two types of awnings are often more expensive than fixed or sliding awnings, and they can also be expensive to repair and maintain.
Those traveling with multiple people in an RV may find some relief with a patio awning, which can be used to form a covered area outside the vehicle. You can create a separate area that is protected from the elements while still being outside, allowing RV passengers to stretch their legs and relax in the fresh air. It usually consists of a shade cover that is attached to a door or window, with additional fabric that can be tied down to provide some shelter. Sure, it takes some work to tie it all together, since it’s not automatic, but it generally offers more covered space than other RV awnings.
