MODULAR AWNING MOUNTS, MODULAR AWNING SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
Modular awning systems and related methods are disclosed. The modular awning system has a frame structure 3 . The frame structure can be mounted to a roof of a vehicle. The modular awning system has an awning bracket for coupling to the frame structure, the awning bracket being for mounting an awning. The modular awning system has a front fairing and a rear fairing at opposed ends of the frame structure.
1 . A modular awning system for a vehicle comprising:
a first fairing comprising a surface, two ends, and a center section located between the two ends;
a second fairing spaced from the first fairing;
a frame disposed between the first fairing and the second fairing; and
an awning having cover fabric in a stowed-away state, said awning coupled to the frame;
wherein the frame is sizeable from a first size to a second size, which is smaller than the first size, for use on a recreational vehicle.
2 . The module awning system for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the awning is sizeable from a first size to a second size, which is smaller than the first size, for use on a recreational vehicle.
3 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a bracket spacer; and
an awning bracket secured to the awning.
4 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 3 ,
wherein the awning is directly mounted to the awning bracket;
wherein the awning bracket is directly mounted to the bracket spacer; and
wherein the bracket spacer is directly mounted to the frame.
5 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the awning is a first awning, and further comprising a second awning attached to the frame, spaced from the first awning.
6 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprise a first elongated main, a second elongated main, and a crossbar connected to the first elongated main and the second elongated main.
7 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the crossbar comprises a plurality of LEDs.
8 . The modular awning system for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the crossbar is a first crossbar, and further comprising a second crossbar and a third crossbar.
9 . A modular awning system for a vehicle comprising:
a first fairing configured to be mounted transversely at a front of a vehicle compared to a second fairing; said second fairing comprising a second fairing left part and a second fairing right part;
a frame connected to the first fairing and the second fairing, said frame comprising a first elongated main, a second elongated main, and at least one crossbar connected to the first elongated main and the second elongated main;
a first awning and a second awning, the first awning and the second awning coupled to the frame;
wherein each of the first awning, the second awning, and the frame is sizeable from a first size to a second size, which is smaller than the first size, to scale the modular awning system to a vehicle;
wherein the front fairing comprises a surface to cover respective first ends of the first awning and the second awning; and
wherein the second fairing comprises a surface to cover respective second ends of the first awning and the second awning.
10 . A method for mounting a modular awning system to a vehicle comprising:
shortening a frame from a first frame length to a second frame length to set the frame to the second frame length; the frame comprising a first end and a second end;
shortening an awning from a first awning length to a second awning length to set the awning to the second awning length;
attaching the awning to the frame and the frame to a roof of a vehicle; and
placing a first fairing having a surface at the first end of the frame and a second fairing having a surface at the second end of the frame.
11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising shortening a crossbar from a first crossbar length to a second crossbar length and attaching the crossbar to a first elongated main and a second elongated main.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the crossbar is a first crossbar, further comprising shortening a second crossbar and attaching the shortened second crossbar to first elongated main and the second elongated main.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the awning is a first awning, and further comprising shortening a second awning and attaching the second awning to the frame.
14 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising wiring the frame to a power source to power LED lights mounted to the frame.
15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising using a remote control to extend a cover fabric from the awning.
