Window awnings, mud flaps, & portable surge protector
My first question is: anyone add window awnings to their Sunseeker? I've seen them on some Class C's and many Class A's, and was wondering if anyone had a rough installation/product pricing for this.
Second: I need some really good front and rear mud flaps, rocks keep kicking up and hitting the body of the MH and our Toad. Anyone added mud flaps and can point me in a direction to purchase them. I've looked at CW and they didn't have anything.
Third: Recommendations for a good portable surge protector? I know wired is best, but I don't foresee that getting done.
Sorry for all the questions, this morning.

Installed the hard wired Progressive Industries EMS-HW30c this weekend and the hardest part was keeping the mattress up(rear queen). Unlike some installs in Trailers I have seen on UTube, I had plenty of room and an excess of wire from the plug end to locate the EMS-HW30c under the bed. Really was quite easy 6 connections 3 line and 3 load and done. Pictures in the install manual and UTube videos covered the setup and the remote display is neat.

What about the front tires? We had a rock shoot up and hit by the drivers door and window area.

Been towing for 2 years. So far, no damage on our new 2014 Subaru Outback. Bought a front bra for the Subaru but have not used it yet. Did the RV door get hit?

We bought a portable 50A surge protector at Camping World.
Model#44270. I almost went with hardwired but a couple of our camping co-horts
have the portable versions too. Its so simple, easy and quick to check pedastels for problems with the portable version. For $20 bucks I also bought the lifetime protection for it. If it gets fried, it gets replaced free of charge. I am glad I went with the portable one.

Thanks everyone for the great advise! We will be going with the Progressive Industries brand and got the booklet for the different styles of protectors and will be ordering online.
As for the rock that few up, it hit the body of the MH just at the drivers side window level. And it hit pretty hard, but didn't leave any damage.

Added window awning
I have a 3120 with the drivers side slide, Ref and dinette. I wanted shade and rain protection for the dinette window. I ordered a Carefree 5.5. ft and mounted it right next to the top Ref vent instead of centered over the window for better rain protection since my window slides from that side.
The 5.5 ft top rail is 66 inches long, Material is 61 inches and the arms are 68 inches outside to outside. Only thing I didn't care for was the self drilling screws they supplied to mount the arms. I used ones with a heavier screw thread. Hope I was able to help.

One more surge question - the 30 amp protector: We occasionally stay on 50 amp sites because at some campgrounds, they are nicer. So can I use a 30 amp protector on a 50 amp site?

I gather your RV has a maximum rating of 30 amps; so plugging it into a more powerful circuit (50 amp) will not make it draw more power than it is designed to do. That said, most every 50 amp shore power outlet post that I have come across has both a 30 amp and 50 amp outlet on it; so just plug in a normal. If the post only has a 50 amp outlet, you will need a male 50 amp to female 30 amp adapter (Camping World, Amazon, etc.) which you would plug in first. Then plug in your surge suppressor and then the RV power cord as normal. No harm to the surge suppressor or your RV, they will only draw the 30 amps required, no more.

Okay, great. I have a dog bone converter to convert the 30 amp plug to 50 amp. We've been to a couple campgrounds where only 50 amp is available on a site.
