Add on awning

[Lost]

I have a 2012 Montana. I'm looking at adding an awning to my main slide out. I see one issue that it might have like the end of the awning being too low to the ground once extended. Has anyone tried this?

Adding an awning to a slide isn’t really a good idea. There is most likely wiring in the wall at the corners for any 12V lighting and if you hit it with any mounting screws it’s a REAL PITA to fix, ask how I know. The other issue is where to mount the rail.

I have seen some fivers with an awning mounted to the slide ( Grand Designs Reflection) but it came from the factory that way, making me think that the engineers factored that in.
