I own a Cougar 327RES Fifth Wheel. It has a slide on the passenger side of the fifth wheel which makes for a very small awning over the door area. The current awning stops just before the window in the nose of the fiver and is up to the slide. I'd say it's about 8 feet wide. I recently saw an identical model at a campground and they had an awning of the same size that is over the door added onto their slide. I'm not talking about the type that goes over the top of the slide but an actual awning on the slide itself. No one was home so I couldn't question them on it. It looked identical to the one over the door. What I was wondering is if anyone has ever added such a thing? Where do you get the power for it? It sure looked like a nice option to have the second awning since the current one over the door area is very small. Once we put a picnic table under ours there's no room for anything else. It would be nice to have the chairs and other stuff under the other awning.
