Are these sun wave awnings any good?



These awnings are appealing and they are cheaper on eBay but i do wonder if they are authentic on eBay. They have the same ones on Amazon and feel I can trust amazon a bit more. Anyone have any experience of these ?

Update: so uninstalled and the awning is well worth the price . There's is a catch though ! I needed a 14' so ordered on and it actually measured 13'4" . So when you buy, read the fine print. Here are 2 pics and use a YouTube video which I will post and this truly was pretty easy.





You can see that the awning is about 3" short on each side. It's not bad enough where I want to replace, it's 7" smaller than the one that was on there - live and learn but it's staying now, lol

I selected the 16' Camel color. It doesn't seem to be to the quality of the original but for the price it should do okay for me. It took my son and I about 1 1/2 hours to remove the old and install the new one.

Just bit the bullet and grabbed one as well. Just have to convince my brother and husband that they want to help me swap it when it arrives Our old one is pretty beat up, but considering it's the original from 2005, I can't complain.

Thanks for the youtube video, should make it way easier!

Just as an update... I replaced my awning over the weekend. EASY! If you can follow the directions on the above YouTube video, it will save you a bunch of mooolah! Took about two hours.
