Shade awning on slide

[Dave e Victoria]

Our Cambridge is the same floor plan as a Montana 3400. We ordered it with awnings over the slides. I also wanted a conventional shade awning added that would be mounted to the main slide aft of the entry door. The dealer couldn't figure out how to do this because the mounting hardware would interfere with the mounting for the slide awnings.

So, Here is the question. Has any one done this? If so how? I still want one as I think it is an ideal place to add an outside room for those rainy, windy days in the upper mid west (read Drummond Island, MI). In the mean time we carry a tent along,

Any ideas are appreciated

Dave,
Not sure if this would work but check out this link and see what you think. In my mind if this was mounted over the top of the slide out and being it extends straight out with no side brackets, it should give you enough room to sit under during those rainy days. Just my first thought that came to mind.

Here is a few more links that shows what I am thinking,

What would it be like to mount it on the slide itself , near the top, but not on the coach body?

I have seen this type of awning setup at an RV show (I beleive it was on a Hitch Hiker 5er), they had an automatic 12v awning as the main awning, and had a conventional manual awning on the curbside superslide, effectively doubling the awning space (although the awnings did not connect, and were offset by the 3 foot width of the slide). I can see how this would be convenient for a screenroom, as the awning would be lower than the main awning, making it easier to setup. Unfortunately I didn't observe how they mounted the slide awning (as they also had slide toppers installed).

Stiles, in the first link it appears that the awning is attached to the slide.
