270 Degree awning

Looks like a new idea for a Skoolie. Your mileage may very

This looks cool...need one that tucks nicely on the front or back of the bus...or figure a way to double them up and do all 4 corners... with a traditional one on the "door side" of the bus.

$1500+, nice , but pricey.

Looking at it... my weld/fabricator has an 8 foot cnc plasma table. Wonder how much he'd charge for a custom solution.

It might end up costing more to try to have someone "reverse engineer" something like this then sourcing the rest of the materials used in construction, than outright buying one at $1.5K, maybe?
On the other hand, shipping from down under might be reason to try to make one, maybe?

Cool looking awning...

Not sure where you guys are looking, but I'm seeing these things for as low as $360. Only $900 for the bigger ones.

With that said, I think I could make something like this for much cheaper. Some 1" tubing and a few of those mesh sun screen type tarps, I don't think it would be too difficult.

And there you get what you pay for, huge difference in quality between yours and the Aussie model. It's like comparing a Ferrari and a MR2, they are both sports cars.

really cool awning....but I think I'll stick with copying the awning from Johnny Mullet's bus. More bang for the buck...

Quite interesting, thank you for the post!

Exactly. Almost apples and oranges.
