The modular awning system has a front fairing and a rear fairing at opposed ends of the frame structure.

Claims (35)

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.
