If I do, what measurement are you looking for? - width of the awning canvas
- outer dimension of the awning support arms
- other?

Hey thanks I appreciate that! I am looking for the actual length of the awning, as it sits on the trailer, closed. I am looking to add a Sunblocker to the groves in the awning roller. Also, now that I have read some of the reviews of the Carefree Sunblocker, knowing the manufacturer of the awning would be a big help as well. It is either Carefree or Dometic. I am not sure if you can see the manufacturer sticker or make with the awning closed. Please do not open it up on my account. I am going to buy this shade anyway. Thank you very much!
According to the reviews, the Paracord in the Sunblocker, which helps keep the material taunt as you slide it into the groves, is sized to fit Carefree Awnings naturally. They say it will fit Dometic Awnings, but it is hard to install because of the smaller size grove. One reviewer did say that he was able to get a the correct size Paracord from Carefree, at no charge, to fit his Dometic Awning.
Dometic makes the same shades. However, they are only 4' from the top of the awning down, to the Carefree which is 6'. Just thought I throw my research in here in case someone was in the market for one of these products. I got the reviews from Campingworld.com.
