An RV is not just a mode of transportation, but a home on wheels that needs all the comfort and functionalities that a stationary abode can offer. One such feature that＊s often overlooked but holds high utility value – the window awnings. Not only do they enhance your RV's aesthetic appeal, but they also provide a shield against weather elements while allowing you to enjoy your view. This will guide you through selecting and installing the perfect window awnings for your mobile haven.
The sun could bear down harshly on your RV, causing the interiors to heat up more than is comfortable. Portable sunshades might suffice but are not a long-term solution. Window awnings are a much more effective alternative. Protecting the interiors from sun damage, they significantly reduce cooling needs. Rain or shine, you can keep your window open without worrying about the weather intruding on your peace.
When shopping for a window awning, consider the following aspects:
The awning fabric is usually vinyl or acrylic. While both are durable, vinyl is waterproof and also resistant to mildew; however, it must be stored dry to prevent damaging. Acrylic is breathable, meaning it allows air circulation, and can be stored while wet, but it's water-resistant, not waterproof.
The awning should cover your whole window while leaving a bit of extra room on the sides. The extension must also offer comfortable headroom when you exit the vehicle.
Retractable awnings are user-friendly, as they roll back when not in use. On the other hand, stationary awnings stay put but come in various styles to beautify your RV.
To install the awning, you'll need brackets, screws, sealant, a drill, a measuring tape, and a helping hand. Here＊s a step-by-step guide:
1. Brackets:Mark the spots where you＊ll fix the brackets. Ensure they align with the window top and allow the desired awning slope.
2. Drill Holes:Drill holes on the marked spots for the screws. Remember to keep them smaller than the screw-size to ensure a tight fit.
3. Attach Brackets:Screw the brackets onto the surface, checking for firmness.
4. Align Awning:With help, align the awning with the brackets. Lower the awning, insert the bolts through the brackets into the roller, securing them firmly.
5. Sealant:Apply sealant around the brackets to prevent potential water damage.
Choosing and installing window awnings can dramatically increase the comfort and beauty of your RV. By careful consideration and correctly following the steps, you're sure to enjoy the seamless functionality and elegance these additions bring to your roving residence. They are undoubtedly a valuable accessory that, with the right selection and proper installation, will pay dividends in enhancing your RV lifestyle. Happy travelling!
