I spoke with the young man at All Pro about the awning. It does still have fiberglass poles. It is a quality unit, at a lesser price than the competition.
But the Isabella awning ($859) uses aluminum poles. I helped put one of the Isabella awnings up at ùCamp19 and it is great. Everything fits perfectly and one person can put it up. Very sturdy, but the entire awning and poles only weigh 18 lbs. I’m saving up for it!

I've been trying to decide which to get first, awning or visor, so when I saw this I also looked at the Teardrop Shop and their awning is $445. They're also running a 10% discount. Any opinions/experience on which of these would be the better buy in the long run?

We purchased one of the prototype awnings from Elton at All Pro Adventures at the UCamp19 swap meet. We are very happy with it's quality and sturdiness. After purchasing, we worked with Elton to make a few improvements to the awning, and he was very accommodating and great to work with. The rib poles are aluminum and the pole through the front of the awning is fiberglass. It has held up nicely through rain and wind, and is a great choice for the price.

This may not be relevant if your priority is sun protection in warm weather, but I really like the roll down sides on by the PahaQue awning when I want to keep out rain, chilly breezes, or (used in combination with screen panels) biting insects.
I do like the horizontal support poles on the All Pro model. Much less droopy than the PahaQue, but it looks like you still need to to stake out lines from the front of the awning.

Thank you driftless for posting this and it is good to hear about your experience with the awning and the All Pro folks. I sent All Pro an email yesterday with questions and Elton wrote back with the info below. I agree with Scott G that the side panels and the ability to add a front screen or panel would be nice so maybe they will consider these additions.

I'm glad to see another company coming out with these for our Tabs--more choices --Hopefully more pleasant customer service. Looks like you got a good, informed answer within a short time period--good customer service.

I don't see the 10% discount. Is it on the site? Thanks.

Took a bit of sleuthing to get to it. Their website is not very 'done'.
Don't look under "Awnings"!
Don't look under "Tab"!
Look under Teardrop Accessories! (Wish they showed colors!)
