Less expensive awning alternatives for 2021 Tab 320

CanadianTabber

Hi all!
Has anyone found a good, cheaper alternative to the expensive, "made exactly for the Tab" awnings.
It seems the custom ones run 400-700 bucks, and I cant justify that...neither can my wallet!
Looking for something that could run through the rail and use poles and guy lines.
Thanks!
Brent

Made my own, with keder rope, tarp, couple of poles and guy lines, about $70 total

Lots of threads and good ideas.  Makes me wish I could sew.

I just acquired a used awning by Marti’s Awnings and I’m really pleased with it.

The MoonShade has been discussed on this forum. It looks like a nice unit and is cheaper than some others (~$300) but I have no experience with it. The keder rail anchors they sell are specifically for the Airstream Basecamp and reportably don’t fit the Tag rail.

Someone on FB this morning showed a picture of the keder rail anchors for the Moonshade and they definitely don't fit the keder rail.
