ALEKO supplies a wide collection of awnings in many different colors and materials, so they’re a great brand choice when you’re looking for your newest RV covering.
It can be hard to find an awning that disappoints, but the best way to buy practical fabrics is for longevity, and even a satisfying awning can come apart in a matter of months.
We’ve gathered a bunch of these RV-friendly awnings below. Each one has been reviewed and summarized in pro and con points, so you can see what each awning offers at a glance, and we’ve also got links to product pages that go into more detail.
Aleko Awning Reviews
OUR TOP PICK
ALEKO specializes in their retractable awnings for backyards, balconies, and patios, and within their expansive catalog, you can find products suitable for use with RVs, too.
Our number one awning is the ALEKO Manual Retractable RV Trailer Awning. This one in particular is designed to work with trailers, though we don’t see any reason why you can’t hook it up to a full RV if you need to.
First, don’t let the word manual scare you. Since this is designed to work with trailers and other mobile homes, it’s made to be fast and convenient to use.
Instead of a crank system like you’ll see in some other manual ALEKO awnings further down this list, this one’s got a pull strap that lets you open or close it within a minute.
That alone makes this a great option for those who have traumatic memories of wrangling with manual hand cranks or other needlessly complicated pulley systems when opening awnings in the past, but there’s more.
The trailer design of this awning means it has two extra limbs that can either rest on the RV or protrude outwards and into the ground.
Doing the latter not only creates more shade to relax in but it also provides more stability, assuming you’ve set up on even ground.
Once you have set up, you have great protection from the elements, come rain or shine, thanks to ALEKO’s own PVC-based awning fabric.
This isn’t only water-resistant because of the PVC; it also eliminates moisture to avoid mold buildup and it can repel UV rays so that it’ll last longer when exposed to the sun.
It won’t become brittle or have its colors fade as fast.
Pros
- The pull strap allows you to manually open or close your awning in less than a minute.
- The awning’s PVC fabric is treated to keep water, mold, and even sunlight out.
- Two extra limbs allow you to prop up a wider and more stable area to relax in.
- Available in a collection of sizes and colors to fit your RV.
Cons
- The installation manual can be difficult to get through.
