When one is out dry camping out in the desert or other areas when the temperature is high or just with the sun is very bright, an RV awning really comes in handy, especially when there's no power to run an air conditioner.

I've gotten plenty of use out of my motorhome's awning. One thing though, they are more fragile than they look. I've seen many awnings torn up by heavy winds. I had to replace my awning's fabric as I made a small tear on it from a leaning telephone pole I didn't see while parking. Gradually, over time, that little tear got bigger. So I replaced it.
