    DIY awning with no roof rack?

    I'm sure this is something that others have puzzled through -- I did a keyword search and didn't find a thread, though.  I'm trying to figure out if I can do a diy sunshade/awning for a van with no roof rack.  I'm not looking for a semi-permanent structure, just a way to make some shade next to...

    Greetings from Los Angeles

    Hello, I'm LL -- I am new to the forum, but not new to RVing (grew up all over the US in a 5th wheel with my parents).  I currently live in an apartment (boo), but am planning my escape to freedom once I get my Teenager off to college in two years. I'm trying to make decisions about making the...
