original article:
I bought and installed this awning last summer. I do
not consider myself to be mechanically inclined and
the installation took some effort and caused some
fustration, but I am pleased with the outcome.
The awning sets up easily (the only problem I have is
remembering which poles go in which holes).
When it is very windy the Shady Boy could be a
problem. It needs to be well staked to prevent the
wind from blowing it over the top of the van.
On balance I like the fact that it is so compact and
that setup and take-down require just a few minutes.

Does anyone have any experience with the Shady Boy
awning. It does not
use poles-- it uses fiberglass rods that hold the
awning up and out
without touching the ground.
Larry--do the fiberglass poles have to be stored seperatley or do
they fit in the awning holder on the van??
