Awning Recommendation for Rear of Covered Utility Trailer That is 8 ft Wide

Updated 06/20/2023 | Published 06/19/2023

Question:

I am hoping for some help on finding a simple, inexpensive roll out awning that can be mounted over the top of a ramp door on a covered utility trailer. Trailer is 8 wide, and I would like to pull the ramp door down, and then roll out the awning in which the legs of the awning will need to either sit on the ramp door, or be wide enough to extend past the sides of the door to the ground. Do you have something that would work for this situation. I can mainly find awnings used for the sides of camp trailers or be mounted to roof racks on cars.

For what you are looking for the best option would be the Thule Hideaway Awning Wall Mount part # TH490011. This is 8 foot wide, has legs that would come down to the sides of the awning once extended and since it's wall mounted it would be the best option for your application above the rear door. I wouldn't necessarily call it inexpensive but most RV style awnings are on the higher end of pricing.
