Recreational vehicle awnings are great additions to any RV and if you care for them well, they will provide you with many years of service. These structures are of different types and grades. Examples include the bag style manual awning and the automatic cantilevered awning. By installing RV awnings California residents can increase their level of comfort as they camp.

RV awnings allow users to go for memorable and enjoyable camping trips and stop at any location to relax. The overhangs protect users from the heat of the sun. Installing overhangs on an RV is convenient since it allows RV users to enjoy a nice shade as they relax outside their recreational vehicles.

RV overhangs that extend further away from the windows of this vehicle offer adequate shaded space where you can place furniture. You can grill food in this area without worrying about getting sunburned. These structures can also protect your camping gear from rain. They help ensure that you have an enjoyable trip in any weather condition.

Different types of RV overhangs serve different purposes. Window and door overhangs provide shade over the windows or entry doors of a recreational vehicle. Slide out overhangs keep water and debris away from the slide out roof, while patio overhangs provide shade when a person wants to sit and enjoy the outdoors.

Overhangs are commonly made of vinyl and acrylic fabrics. A number of overhangs have a wrap around weather guard made from aluminum or vinyl that is used to protect the fabric when an awning is rolled out. If you have stored your overhang for a long duration, it is essential for you to look at it closely for signs of staining or mildew. Vinyl overhangs are prone to being affected by mildew. All you need to do if the fabric appears fairly clean is to clean it using water, mild soap and a soft brush.

When cleaning an awning, you should not use abrasive or oil based cleaners. Clean the structure thoroughly on both sides and rinse it. If the overhang is affected by mildew or is stained, you can use after market commercial cleaners designed to clean awning fabrics. As you clean the overhang fabric, you should also inspect it for excessive wear or tear.

When you are using an overhang, inspect its metallic structure. The bottom overhang brackets support most of the weight of the overhang. Check to see that the overhang brackets are tight. You should also inspect the arm pivot holes to find out if the handles have broken rivets or enlarged holes. It is also important inspect the roller tube. Check if it is warped after you roll the overhang out.

Before they use RV awnings California dwellers should ensure that any damaged part is repaired. They should also make sure that the rail of the awning is mounted well on the side of the recreational vehicle. In addition to that, they should avoid leaving the awning unattended to so that it does not suffer wind damage. People who own RV overhangs should insure them.
