ABSTRACT:
An awning support assembly for an awning apparatus (20) mounted on a vehicle (24) includes a clamp assembly (60) attachable at any point along a support tube (30) of the awning apparatus. Clamp assembly (60) has two clamp members (62,64), each having hook-shaped ends (66,68) engageable within grooves or openings in support tube (30). The opposite adjacent ends of clamp members (62,64) when drawn together pull clamp assembly (60) against support tube (24). A telescoping compression member (34) is rotatably attached to clamp (60) to push outwardly on support tube (30). A lever (90) is manually operated to extend compression member (36) to impart a desired load on support tube (30). A telescoping leg support (38) is rotatably connected to clamp assembly (60) and is locked in desired extended position by movable rack (136) engaging fixed rack (134). The upper end of a tie-down strap (40) loops through clamp assembly (60) and the lower end of the strap may be staked or fixedly attached to an immovable object through a plate (44).
