Awning to Fit Camper with Raised Rails on Roof
Question:
The type of awning that's going to work best on your camper is one that will attach directly to the sidewall of the camper like the Thule Hideaway part # TH490011 for a 10' long x 8' wide awning or # TH490018 for a 8-1/2' long x 6-1/2' wide awning. This won't require any attachment or integration with the rails you have now on the roof of the camper and gives you a solid awning setup. There isn't a solution that would attach to the rails you have currently also.
