    Measure & Replace Slide Awning

    Just bought a used 2010 3750FL. All of the slide awning fabric is missing. I'm pretty handy, so replacing this shouldn't be a problem. My question is, how do I measure or figure out the length of fabric to cut in order not to get a lot of sag in the awning? Thanks in advance for any advise.

    Where are my panels?

    Someone recently told me that BOON-DOCKING was not the correct terminology for off-grid camping. We live in rural Western Arizona where that type of camping is prevalent and 98% of our outings. I was told that the correct name is DRY CAMPING. That person also asked me why I didn’t have my...
