Congrats on the trailer.
I attached my awning to slide mounts on the racks. If it's raining all night and you still want to use the fan, it's easy to slide the awning across the roof to the other side and cover the entire trailer. Extend the legs and the fan can stay open. Also good that way in the heat to keep sun off the trailer.
We also have an ARS "gazebo" that we haul around with us. If it stays dry, it rides in the trailer between stops. If it gets wet, up on the roofracks it goes. It gets used very frequently over the galley ---- prepare meals and eat under it in comfort.
Here you can see us snow-camping for Thanksgiving. Cold/windy ---- gazebo up with a windbreak to duck behind. Dutch oven going under the big-top is also some welcome warmth on such a day...
Laura & Scott made this awning for his trailer. Same idea but packs smaller.
Just not as versatile for other uses.
Perfect weather here; gazebo is on the racks.
We had just paid our dues in Lake George NY with a couple of days of downpours though. Really nasty stuff and we were very glad to have the cover available.
Here you can see my trailer with the gazebo in back and Rory's trailer with a bigger gazebo over the entire trailer.
