We just added a 270 Awning with sides to our small trailer a couple weeks ago and used it that week on a trip, and it is a game-changer! Having that space to stand up, get dressed, relax in a protected space was great. We put our Little Buddy out there and it took the edge off. We do love a nice cabin every now and then though too! Thanks for bringing us along!

We have a 360 bat wing awning and have been contemplating getting the little sides to zip on so it’s a more private standing area. Happy to hear that configuration works out for you. We may just go that route. Thanks!

Yay! Glad to see you guys doing vids again! Btw have you talked with Jason about what. I talked with you about?

[@CoasttoCascadia]

Oh yes! I did! I think he forgot about it. Haha. I’ll remind him. He said it’s sounds really cool.
