OK so I Have never been one to conform. so I want something different for an awning (the GMC is not just another box camper either) So after countless hours online and a few discussion here and on other RV sites I have come up with the Shade Sail. link.
Now not with this seller but from other sites I have found that there is about 70lbs, at least, of torque placed between the connections points of the sail. Having not seen this in person yet not sure if the tension is transferred to the "wall" or not. the mounting hardware that the other sites offer is rather heavy duty. with 1 inch eye-bolts and turnbuckles.
If there is a concern I could build a frame that the shade would be stretched onto kind of like a painting frame. I would prefer to keep it as simple (and cheap) as possible.
And I bought 2 of these, the thought being that I could overlap and have a 22x11 awning/shaded area.

Once you replace everything that is attached to something else. It will all be fixed.
