Self retracting awnings

[Danielf]

I was wondering if anyone knew what awning manufactures have self retracting awnings. All the ones I see are the type you have to unroll and roll back up into the cover. Back in 07 I had a Campinglab awning on my Hummer and it was self retractable like a sunshade on a window. I was stupid enough to leave it on when I traded the Hummer in on the 4runner thinking I'd just buy another. After years of searching and discovering that Campinglab is now out of biz I'm trying to find one like it. Do they exist or was that the only one who made them spring loaded?

lateral arm awning is what you are referring to. Most I've seen are used on buildings and when folded stick out quite a bit from their mounting point.

I'm not sure that's what I mean. Here's the pics. Looks no diff then arb, cvt, geo, etc only instead of unrolling and rolling it up like you would a map, it's like one of those window shades for babys that suction cup to the window. You pull it open and it locks open. Give it a tug and it starts to pull itself back in the case like it's spring loaded. It's fit pretty flush just like any other awning.

BINGO! That's what I mean! Pulls itself back in! Dang that's ALOT more then I paid 9 years ago for Campinglab. Too bad they're out of biz :/ Thank you David! That 270* wing is rad too.

Anyone know what to search for on ebay for knock off versions?

Does the Eezi Awn ones attach with the double channel side rail like Campinglabs, ARB, and most of the oversees copies?
I have a Campinglab one, but would not mind upgrading.
I also saw an awesome 270 a few weeks back which goes for around $1.4K


PS, here is the 270 I saw, very cool.

Rhino rack has a fox wing jus like this for 500-650! I think that's my route. Unless someone has a Campinglab in working order that they want to get rid of
