Awning Shade ?

Were looking at adding a awning shade to our set up. What we don't know is which one to buy. There are just so many out there. We know we want it to be easy to take on and off in case of storms. Any suggestions or input on this would be great.

I purchased a Vista shade for my awning. This was purchased from Shade Pro of Calf. The Vista model which comes in different lengths and is a two piece design. The short piece which is usually one to two feet long in length will roll up in the awning when you store the awning. The longer piece which is six feet in length can be folded up and stored when not required. You use a zipper to separate the two pieces. So, it is easy to take down and put up in a storm or when the awning is retracted for the night.

I purchased mine in 2016 on line from Shade Pro and have used the Vista shade every time we have travel since then. Here is a link to the manufacture.

We use the ZipBlocker made by Carefree. We have had it for 3 years and it does a good job.

Thank you both for the reply. We went with a Shade Pro. Seemed to have a lot of good reviews.
