Review on 🏑 Gray Solera 362231 Patio Awning Family Room (16') - 1 Pack by Hector Mak

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice addition to the camper. There is no setup guide.

Quality material: thick plastic, strong zips; good screens with zippered covers; heavy-duty eyelets for stakes. Assembly is a bit tricky as there are no instructions and web support. I found a YouTube video from a consumer showing some but not all of the steps. Looking back, I think he hung the brackets upside down. Two brackets must be screwed to the side wall of the motorhome for assembly - butyl tape or another seal should be used under the bracket. I couldn't fully enclose the space as shown in the product photos; There are gaps near the canopy and side wall of the RV. You should not expect this package to be "failsafe". Despite these issues, I'm glad I bought the room. We have it installed at a few RV parks and use it on both sides most of the time leaving one side open. This adds privacy to our patio. When the screens are rolled up, the room is bright and has good air circulation. With the blankets off, the room is private and provides some warmth in cold weather. When the wind picks up, opening the screen covers will help prevent damage. In strong winds, the room should be demolished. Disassembly is easy with zippers. I recommend that the manufacturer provide detailed setup instructions with an accompanying video.

Pros
  • Fits most manual and mechanical 16ft awnings
Cons
  • Only available in black
