An RV awning is simply a mechanical set up that creates a shaded area around your campervan. By using an extending awning, such as a slide out, retractable or automatic selection, you can create a greater sense of space in your outdoor area. They are usually made of excellent fabrics, which are tightly woven and therefore they provide excellent protection from the elements. Others, meanwhile, are made with a mesh fabric, which allows for a pleasant breeze, while providing you with a little extra privacy when in use.
