Easy install. If installing with only one person, make a jig to keep canopy at the correct angle for sliding into channel. Looks nice. Fit perfect.

We are EXTREMELY pleased with this awning assembly. We purchased the 11' version (measured from center-to-center on the arms) to replace a 13-year old Dometic brand of the same size. The old awning fabric had deteriorated and the spring/ratchet system was broken, so the entire unit needed replacement. We removed the old awning assembly without incident. My wife and I worked on preparing the new one over the course of a week. It took about eight hours total to get the fabric attached to the roller and rolled up, and the brackets and rail channel mounted to the camper. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all mating parts were clearly marked throughout. We measured to ensure the brackets were in a perfectly square/plumb pattern, although we had to adjust them a little after. I found a laser measure useful for this, taping a cardboard target on one end and using the laser to get my placements exact. This required an overcast day so I could see the laser dot. I recruited a strong friend to help me carry the fabric/roller assembly (heavy!) up two ladders, put into place, and connect it the rail channel and to the arms. This part needs 2 strong people. The instructions were thorough and clear throughout (although the illustrations are tiny) and offered two methods to get the fabric into the top rail. We chose the method of setting the fabric/roller on the camper roof temporarily, tucking the fabric's top sleeve into the rail channel, and pushing the poly cord into one end to expand the sleeve into the rail. Once the fabric roller was connected, we experimented opening/closing a few times and adjusted the bracket locations (there are slots in the brackets for this) until it operated smoothly and then tightened everything down. Any remaining screw holes from the old assembly were filled with silicone sealant. Some tips: 1. Get a metric tape measure. The critical dimensions in the instructions are given in metric. 2. When inserting the polycords (there are three), sharpen the end before inserting, so it doesn't catch on anything on the way through. 3. Unfold your new fabric as soon as it arrives and lay it out flat to get the wrinkles out. We used our garage floor for this. Also stretch out your polycords in the sun and work them by hand to get them as straight as possible. This new awning works flawlessly, and gives the camper a new appearance again.

Overall the awning and components are very good quality. I had to detension and remove the end of the roller in order to slide the awning into the slots. There was also an issue with the slots in one of the roller tube sections not lining up. I had to file the connection point between the sections to allow the fabric to slide. Easy fix. It was fairly intuitive how to assemble the pieces. The instructions did have one flaw. There were two tables, one for metric measurements and one for imperial. The tables seem to have the numbers flipped. The metric table shows feet. The imperial shows meters. I am happy with the awning. I would recommend it to friends.

Exactly what I wanted to replace my old awning. We reinforced the mounting areas so we are comfortable leaving up in winds. So far 40+ mph gusts and no problem. Expect a full day or even two doing it yourself first time but with all the right tools and a helper you might get it done in as little as..... 5 hours or less

We finally got our awning put up and the color blue is great. It is very durable with wind we had. we are very happy that we bought a Yescamp awning it is worth the price

Works great! Put on our camper and used multiple times now. Easy to assemble and mount. Just my Husband and I completed the job on our camper. If you do a lot of DIY projects, it’s fairly easy. Remember to fill all your holes, existing and new! Only hiccup was the tube had three grooves and one was labeled wrong. Just take your time and you can figure it out!

Knocked off a star for bad instructions and the hardware they send is garbage! Had to go down to the hardware store and buy better higher strength lag screws. Both the small and larger ones they supplied broke while trying to install. Besides these two things I got it installed on my camper and it works good.

Installation is not for the faint of heart. It is not introductory DIY. But, if you hang in, it is a great product and we are happy with the shade we have.
