Recreational Vehicle (RV) Awnings – Overview

RV awnings are extendable coverings attached to the side, roof, or windows of recreational vehicles. They provide shade, protect against weather, and enhance outdoor living spaces for campers, motorhomes, travel trailers, and caravans.

They improve comfort, increase usable outdoor area, and help protect the RV’s exterior from sun and rain.

1. Types of RV Awnings

• Patio Awnings

Large awnings that create shaded outdoor living space alongside the RV.

• Window Awnings

Minimize heat gain, protect interior furnishings, and reduce glare.

• Door Awnings

Provide shelter while entering or exiting the RV.

• Slide-Out Awnings (Slide Toppers)

Protect slide-out roofs from debris, water pooling, and sun damage.

• Roof Awnings / Roof Shades

Used on smaller RVs and camper vans for roof-mounted shade.
