An awning includes an awning body. The awning body may include a reel, an awning canopy, a first swing arm, a second swing arm, and an endbar. The awning cover may be disposed between the reel and the endbar when the endbar is extended away from the awning body by the first swing arm and the second swing arm.

An awning assembly with a mount portion, an extendable bar assembly, an upper canopy being retractable to a compact configuration adjacent to the mount portion and extendable to an extended position upon extension of the extendable bar assembly to provide shade from above, a lower canopy coupled with the extendable bar assembly and extendable therefrom to provide shade from a side position. The extendable bar assembly comprises a first roller coupled with the upper canopy, a second roller coupled with the lower canopy and a motion generator coupled with the second roller, the motion generator configured to store energy as the second roller is moved to retract the lower canopy and configured to use the stored energy to move the second roller to extend the lower canopy from the extendable bar assembly.

A distributed safety lockout system for a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle (RV), that includes a plurality of networked devices communicatively coupled via a communications network, and that is configured to implement a method for controlling an electromechanical operation of an electromechanical device based on a safety lockout condition determined through use of a consensus protocol in which a safety lockout status is agreed upon by the networked devices. The safety lockout status may be escalated by a safety lockout condition detection device that detects a safety lockout condition, such as movement of the RV. The safety lockout status may be de-escalated through a network contention mode of the consensus protocol in which each of the networked devices agree to de-escalate the safety lockout status.

The invention relates to an adapter element for fastening a planar element, in particular an awning, to a vehicle, including an adapter body, which has a first edge region for fastening the adapter element to a vehicle, and a second edge region for fastening a planar element to the adapter element. The first edge region of the adapter body is equipped with a vehicle connection element for releasably fastening the first edge region to a vehicle. The second edge region of the adapter body is equipped at the second edge region with a planar element connection element for releasably fastening the second edge region to an edge region of a planar element. The invention also relates to a modular system having such an adapter element and having a planar element.

Vehicle awnings comprise an inflatable frame assembly comprising a main frame member that defines a space, a left supporting frame member, and a right supporting frame member; a canopy operatively coupled to the main frame member and spanning the space; and an attachment system for attaching the vehicle awning to a vehicle.

An awning assembly contains a frame and a frame cover attached to the frame. The frame is adapted to be removably fixed to an associated structure over a window or opening, such as on a recreational vehicle or camper, for example.

A camping awning mountable to a vehicle at or above head-height comprises a core having a cylinder extending between a pair of spaced ends of the core, an awning sheet adapted to be returned onto the core in a storage state, the awning sheet also adapted to be paid out to present an upper surface of the awning sheet, in an extended state, and a flexible solar charging device attached to or forming part of the upper surface. The solar charging device is adapted to bend with the awning sheet as it is returned onto the core, such that the awning sheet including the solar charging device is adapted to be fully returned onto the core, and covers by area at least 20% of the upper surface when the awning sheet is fully paid out.
