Gorilla Wrangler
I just got a pair of them from my local 4wheel parts store.
Mounted them on the port and starboard sides of my trailer respectively:
The fabric appears to be identical to my Ironman 4 x 4 awning (mounted on the front), and my Tepui Autana, awning and "awning extension"/safari tent (not shown).
I intend to prophylactically treat them with the same waterproofing treatment I used on the Autana (from my trailer build thread; too lazy to look up the brand).
The major difference between the three brands of awnings is that the hinge pieces for the verticle & horizontal polls on the Smittybilt awnings are made out of what appears to be cast aluminum, rather than plastic. They make the poles entirely rigid, and thoroughly destroyed my plans to flat mount the awnings to the angled sides of the trailer.
