CANOPY FOR TRAILER

[Rick Beggs]

I am in the market  for a canopy, the type that mounts to a trailer, I am tired of ez-ups, I want something that looks nice, and can display sponsor logos, I also am tired of wind storms damaging canopies, so I need a good one
I have 2 trailers to set up, one 24 foot and a 35 foot
Has anybody purchased one recently?
Remember the price?
Brand?
Got pictures?

Windstorms on a trailer mounted canopy are even worse.  Try ruined awning AND trailer damage.

Try Camping World or r/v stores. JC Whitney too. My r/v awning has been thru some bad winds, you just have to retract it partially in windy days or roll it up.

Rick, I think most of the guys using the trailer mount canopies are using Holliday Canopies:
http://www.canopyguy.com/

but they're not cheap...  I'd venture that you're looking about $2000-$3500 per trailer for them.  And they're not that easy to set up.

I believe you typically travel with a number of people, but you're looking at an hour or more for setup of these things.

Forget RV stuff or camping world.  The holliday is the stuff you are looking for.  An RV canopy won't withstand what these will.

Wes Holliday makes the best canopies out there that mount directly to the trailer.  

They aren't cheap but they work and they last forever.  

I used to put up the one on the 48' gooseneck we had which was 30 x 15 in less than an hour by myself.  You just need to get used to it.  These are not the the semi style the factory teams use, those take more people and I don't have anyone but me. I need to send my old one in and get it refit for our current trailer, just haven't gotten around to it.  

Bets part is if poles get bent they're just chain link fence top rail, cut to length with a pipe cutter or saw and you're set.  Easy to replace at any track.  

Anyway - check him out at http://www.canopyguy.com/  he also sells Ez-Ups and makes freestanding stuff as well.

We also use a Holiday canopy. One of the best investments we ever made. Pricey, but not expensive for what it is. Two of us can set up a 30x20 fully enclosed canopy in less than an hour if you don't offer up any beer or conversation during the process.
