How Hard Can It Be…. Installing an Awning

In this episode we install a Carefree of Colorado Altitude Awning. We also install light pods in our kitchen to assist with coffee and breakfast prep while the kids are sleeping. We construct a storage box so we don't have to pack bags any longer and last but not least we protect our plumbing from winter by adding low point drains to our lines.

Thanks for doing this video. I bought the same awning for my CTC and you made it look pretty straight forward. I live in Maine so I won't be putting mine on until next Spring. If you don't mind, what length is your awning?

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Glad it was helpful! It is 21’ in length.

[@roadster2776]

put an awning "wheel" on the top of foor in case of wind or pitch changes to protect the fabric

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for the comment!

Put a awning wheel on your door so you don't have to worry about it cutting your awning!

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@retroworldseries7159]

Where did you get the awning rail? Also, what brand was the rail? Thanks!

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

We bought everything from a local dealer. I looked online and the freight cost was going to be several hundred dollars more than purchasing it locally. The brand is Carefree of Colorado. Thanks for watching!

Hello from Saskatchewan Canada.
I cringed when you opened your door fearing a tear to your new awning.
You may want to look at a awning roller ball to install on your door.
Found one on Amazon - cheap
Great build

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks for watching! I’ll check those out. So far I’ve had no issues with the door clearance. I have about 12” of clearance when the awning is at its lowest point.

[@markcoleman2960]

What type of paneling did you use on walls and ceiling?
Roughly how much was the awning?
Keep up the great videos guys.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

We used what came in the trailer for the paneling. It’s 3/8” plywood on the walls and I believe it was 1/8” plywood on the ceiling. That type and brand of awning runs around $1500 - $1800. They are pricey but we’ve really enjoyed having it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

What brand trailer is that, it’s really nice.

[@BuildYourOwnAdventure]

Thanks! It’s an ATC.
