Pretty much every awning under $350 is all made by Yum Cha imports and sold with a different label attached.

Whatever you buy, get something with real canvas not rip-stop stuff.

I have a Supa-peg supawing.

We went with Rhino for our Cruiser - apparently the material is mould resistant, some others are not.

Our last one was a cheap and cheerful Oz Trail. Has survived ok and is still on the Pajo, but is a tad light on in the strength department. Hasnt failed but wouldnt buy again.
