I'm going to need an awning for my Raven shell which is very short (N-S) so the Fiamma & others will be too long, I think. The body of the Raven is 70" and the top latch on the side would prevent mounting unless it is moved. And I'm looking for DIY ideas to save a little $$. Anybody got ideas they'd care to share? Pictures will be appreciated.

I remember quite a few awning threads over the years, probably because mine was one of them. A Google search turned up some of them...

I also have a Raven I like the Fiamma awning on the side. I wish the rear awning was still available when I ordered mine. So I bought/made one. It's a little big on first outing, so I'm going to shorten it up both width wise and length. IMG_1719.JPG
