I have seen box awnings for sale--but when I inquired, I was told that

information/experience?

The one severe drawback (IMHO) to awnings in general is the collection of
apparatus that hangs all over the side of the trailer. It looks (again, IMHO) butt ugly.

I have an A&E Catalina awning on the 54. The arms fold up into the awning
case. I had to go this route as permanently attached arms would have
prevented opening the windows on that side.

I have found it to work well, although I have only one season experience
with it. Much simpler than carrying awnong poles etc.
