Shady boy awning assembly instructions
•
The original Boler came with a rope and pole awning which required you to stand on your tippy toes to thread the awning into an aluminum track attached to the roof, the material often snags, does not thread evenly or comes out of the track. Installing a bag awning eliminates the need to thread the awning into the track but you still have to fight with poles and guide ropes. The other option I have seen are the large conventional trailer awnings adapted to the Boler, and although these are easy to set-up by the time they are cut to fit the curved sides there is not much awning to sit under.
Shady Boy is a light weight awning originally designed for Volkswagen Vanagon and Eurovan models. but has quickly been adapted to many other vehicles. The 10′ wide by 6′ deep awning is three feet wider than the original Boler awning yet weighs less than 15 pounds, has no moving parts, and neatly fits into a small anodized aluminum case measuring about 4′ long.
I installed my awning offset towards the rear to maximize the usable space, the awning still fully covers the entry door but extends further back so the doorway is not blocked by chairs.
Lets start by showing how easy the awning is to set-up, then how to mount it on your Boler

| I can't help you with instructions, but would really like to get your feedback on the installation, and especially how the awning performs for you. I am looking at them online, but question how they hold up in wind. Thanks. PW | |
