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.

So, Marty, what small awnings are you now installing on your new All Terrain Campers?

FYI, for those interested in the awning issue. I have on my Hallmark Milner LX an 8' "Carefree Colorado" awning. I use it a lot for sun, rain and snow and have never had a problem with it. The mounting system is bomb proof as well as the material used for the awning. It is a crank out system and it has two swing down legs. I bought a pair of the auger type tie down systems and can leave it set up while away from camp without worry.

I hope this helps.

Good Camping!

I have a Dometic Catalina 2500 awning. You can have it for $75. I have no way to ship it so you would have to pick it up. I live in South West Utah. I took it off my 4W Camper because: (1) I never used it. (2) I didn't like the weight, especiallay since I put on a solar panel, which added weight. (3) I bought a large umbrella thing at Costco, which fits perfectly into a tube I installed under the roof extension in front, which I use in place of the awning when I need shade or rain protection. I don't use the umbrella much either.

What is the reason for the mounting brackets? Can you not mount the awning case directly to the camper?

I believe this was because of the entry door on the side of DD's custom flatbed camper. The awning needed to be raised so ATC came up with the brackets. Usually awnings are mounted to the side.
