ABSTRACT:
A recreational vehicle has a retaining member extending along the side of a vehicle to retain a cover for an awning. The cover may be formed from a plurality of metallic slats pivotable relative to one another to define a housing for the awning fabric in one pivotable relationship of the slats and to define an extension of the awning fabric in a second pivotable relationship of the slats. The slat closest to the recreational vehicle in the second pivotable relationship of the cover may also have a retaining portion. A first member is provided with detaining portions at its opposite ends to be detained by the retaining member on the recreational vehicle and the retaining portion on the slat closest to the recreational vehicle. The first member may have a coupling portion at an intermediate position between its opposite ends. This coupling portion co-operates with a sealing member to hold the sealing member on the first member. The sealing member may be made from a resilient material such as a vinyl. The sealing member may be provided with a first portion, such as a first flap, which extends over the retaining portion on the slat to seal the retaining portion against water leakage. The sealing member may also be provided with a second portion, such as a second flap, which extends over the retaining member on the recreational vehicle to seal the retaining member against water leakage.
