With the increasing popularity of people enjoying the life in a travel trailer or caravan, awnings are becoming an important element in travels. They are especially helpful in increasing the space of a small caravan to further enjoy camping outdoors or for those travelers who need a comfortable place to sleep and be protected from the elements. These portable awnings have evolved from a simple canopy to provide shade into an additional livable quarter. With the variety of designs and materials in the market today, choosing the best awning can be difficult. Research and consultation with fellow caravan owners should be done in order to have the best quality.

When choosing awnings, quality, size and portability should be considered. Types of materials vary from light nylon or plastic material to heavy canvas fabric. This should be decided well according to the use of the awning. If a more permanent structure is preferred, canvas can be chosen while nylon or plastic can be opted when using the awning more often. A lot of frame materials are available and can be numerous especially in the internet. There are aluminum and fiberglass materials for easy and light assembly, or the more stable yet heavy steel frames. Size should also be considered when buying awnings. When traveling with the family, a larger size should be considered. There have been recent designs that have built-in compartments to allow for separate rooms complete with windows and doors. Caravan awnings are great investments for those who travel a lot and for those who just want to enjoy the outdoors.
