I had one on my old 4wc and I do miss it. Very easy to operate and pretty high quality. Probably a notch under the Fiamma in construction (IMO) but I like not having to need to use/carry an extra piece to wind the crank.

That will fit, but it's in a bag which has to be replaced every couple years. Plus it has guy wires.

Lot cheaper though, and it's removable.

I have a Catalina 2500 by Dometic on my All Terrain Camper and it works great. Although I thought it would be useful in the summer sun, I find it usually gets set up in the rain and snow!


Here is the Dometic deployed for grilling in the rain and staked out for the wind.

The Dometic Catalina awnings are no longer being made. The new Dometic awning is a big heavy bulky awning. If you find a used Catalina you can still get parts for it.

I've sat under Stew's awning. It makes great shade and kept us out of the rain. :)
