I have attached the Amazon version and a couple of views of the one he made.

I like it but can't make it. Can you provide a link to the Amazon page?
Edit: NVM. Found it.

Can you travel with it? Or is it used only while in storage?

I was wondering what it looks like when opened and how it attaches. I lost my awning one winter on my TT and have since replaced it. I would like to try to kind of protect it (winterize it  ).

More Storage for DW
DW always wants more storage. The ideas are always hers, the execution is always mine.
She wanted to utilize the wasted space in the cabinet above our peninsula that we use for storing cups. The first two pics are one end of that rack I made for her.
She wanted to use more space beneath the sink. I made a folding shelf on the right side and found a basket at Lowes that fit perfectly.
I was afraid of the rack chaffing the water lines for the sink so I wrapped them in a short piece of foam insulation.

Only use these in storage.
There have been several posts of folks believing they could go down the road with these and they blew off!

Our plumbing wasn't completely resolved.. the connections were still leaking and we had to have my Father fix it for me since I was out of ideas.. Pipe putty on brass fittings made sure there were no water leaks.
Took the time last camping trip to connect our phones to our radio and also figured out it has weather channels on it... Amazing what you find out when you take the time to read the books.
Lippert steps going on next.
Vertiyak is on the list for the next project.. after doing some modifications to it

Got my Coleman-Mach Bluetooth Ceiling assembly today and going to install it tonight... I can't handle the 70dB fan blowing constantly. I can't even hear my alarm clock in the mornings because of it. It'll be nice for the fan to turn on with the compressor and actually control to a temperature rather than a temperature differential... Wish me luck on the install.

I bought and installed a couple of these valves that will automatically turn off the propane if the flow rate is too high ie possible hose rupture or other issue.

There were also reports of them not working well at/around freezing. (32º)
Kinda defeats the purpose of a furnace if you can't use it to keep things from freezing if no propane flows at freezing temperatures.
And I'm pretty sure tank ACME nuts have a safety shutoff built in anyway.
Keep us posted as to real world use.

I got my Girard Gen 1 WH working again today. When DW wanted a shower there was no hot water. I fooled with it for 30minutes, no luck. 
Went back 30minutes later and it worked just fine. 
Must have been the threat of me replacing it with that new 60,000 BTU Furrion unit that got it off its ass and back into gear

I dont intentionally camp at freezing temperatures and Ive used my camper oven exactly once in 6 years. If their a PITA, their easily removable

Made the commitment to have a cover installed for our Coachmen Apex 250 RLS. Supply and demand for metal is phenomenal in the region of North Carolina where I'm located.

First evening and night with the Bluetooth thermostat cycling the fan on and off with the compressor - I love it. Took about an hour to install the new ceiling assembly. It was 95F outside and with the thermostat set to 65F, the AC would run for 10 minutes and shut off for 10 minutes. Cycling on and off throughout the night didn’t wake me either.
I full time three weeks out of the month and then I go back home for one week, so I wanted this unit so I could operate the AC at a higher temperature without it running all the time while I am away for that week.

We have the levelmate pro with the andersen levelers. It makes setup a breeze.
