Looking for canopy for my teardrop trailer

[old_man]

I am getting close to finishing my teardrop trailer and want to get an awning for it. I ran across a picture of one I like but I can't track it down. Has anybody got a link for these?

This is the link to my build.

Tom, that may be a Kelty carport?

One of the UK guys clued me in. It is a Coleman Event Shelter. There are two problems. They run around $200 and I can only find it in Yellow.

What about one of the ez up canopies?

Or I found that one in yellow for $98

I've found that the cheaper EZ-ups are almost a one time use thing. The poles are so thin that they are basically impossible to fold back up. When I was in college, I would go around after the games and pick up all the bent up and broken EZ-ups that tailgaters left and then put them in my yard using tree branches as splints. It was trashy but matched the clothes washing machines and dryers in our yard.

I saw that as well, but I hate the yellow.

Tom, are you a Facebooker? If so try Ryan's trailer group. We have a lot of folks there with a lot of connections and info.

They aren't to bad as long as two or more people (not drunk or mad) are putting up and taking down. Not brand specific just style. They don't do well with wind though.

Easy Ups suck in any sort of wind. They're large poorly made sails.
