I like it!  Beats the hay outta that old silver one I got from "Northern Supply" this past spring. Did you use a "coax" cable to thread it onto your campers' rail or something else? The coax thing really worked for me. |

I sewed a rope inside of the material edge and it just slides into the rail. I used outdoor material and then sprayed it with camp dry to make it more water repellent.

Looks very similar pattern to mine and your camper is similar too! I used keder awning rope in the rail....it works great! It's a dacron wrapped rope that slides in the track easy peezy.

Thanks Gone Kayaking, I did not know what that awning rope was called. I will bookmark this site so if I need to make another one I will know about the keder awning rope.

dsadki you can find it at sailrite.com along with lots of of other dohickeys that come in very handy for working on these trailers. They help people do diy on boats...fair amount of similar situations it turns out.
