    Looks good. Just thinking if they could be used for something else as well?  Can't think what, off hand.

    You could always put them into a sun canopy and hang things off of them with a hook or something

    Slots are what you put your awning into or you can slot them into a skirt rail do motorhomes not have an awning rail

    Ours has 😉. I like the idea but assume you can only have one on the pole, I can't see how you'd do more.

    Perhaps one at the front and one at the back or unless one breaks you then have a back up

    fraid not. no awning rails, no skirt rails.....generally MH dont have these as awnings of thos type (slot in) are for caravans.

    MH can use drive away awnings or have attachments to a wind out canopy,but generally no rails like caravans.

    so, unfortunately, this windbreak idea wont work for all.

    however, ive seen similar ones where the attachment to the MH is by suction cup rather than something fitted to an awning rail....

    I understand what your saying but like the other member said his has so not all MH don't have them and some do just depends on what model you own but if these are just for caravans then I still stand by what I've said these are a great idea for the attaching the windbreak to the awning rail gives more stability to the windbreak

    not decrying the idea at all..., however, the suction cup attachments i saw will work whether there is an awning rail or not as they attach to the flat sides of the van (caravn or MH)smile

    I have modified one end of our wind-break by adding a length of piping (the same type use for awnings/draft skirts) to one end. Slide it into the awning slot and its firmly attached to the van. Don't think that suction cups would withstand strong winds IMHO.

    Hi

    yes we used to do the same thing but when we changed our windbreak we tried these and with them you can change your windbreak and not have to worry about sewing a strip of piping on to them but good answer as this way of sewing them is great and so very strong
