Awnings

[sandykayak]

I saw the pix via the link posted on the Element forum.  One of the pix with lots of Aliners showed 3 awnings (blue/turquoise) that seemed to be attached to the to of the A.  Are these the Paha Que $500 jobbies?  

Putting up an E-Z-Up style canopy solo is quite a job.  And even the Paha Que video shows 2 people assembling...plus it weighs something like 45 lbs!

I got a Quik Shade (sp?) lightweight one but haven't used it yet.  But I really like the look (ok, so it's a girl thing!) of a canopy that follows the A contours of the camper.

The REI Alcove looks like a bear to put out, plus it doesn't have screening.  I've seen the ones in the Files section of the aframes forum and none of them grabs me.  I saw a nice striped on in the photo of the FL rally in the Aliner's Owner's forum, but not sure how it was made.

Looks as if they have 3 poles extending and the fabric is draped over that somehow.  Can't wait for the October FL rally.

I'd be interested in comments, ideas...

We saw several of the Paha Que at the recent Southeast Coastal Aliner's Rally in South Carolina - here are some photos from the meet: http://picasaweb.google.com/jmoncriefatec.rr.com/2009SECoastalAlinerRally#

I guess there was a half dozed folks using the PahaQues, but most folks were simply using 10by10 and 12by12 canopies just outside their Aliner's doors.
