ABSTRACT:
A recreational vehicle which has a first longitudinally extending rail C-shaped in transverse cross-section is combined with a metal cover for a roll-up awning having a second longitudinally extending rail C-shaped in transverse cross-section. A waterproof connector between the vehicle and the metal cover includes a pair of rods, each rod being capable of fitting within one of the first and second C-shaped rails, a synthetic organic resin strip wrapped around each rod forming a flexible multi-ply connection between the rods extending substantially the entire length thereof and forming a watertight hinge therebetween. Water is then prevented from flowing between the recreational vehicle and the metal cover for the roll-up awning when the awning is extended and the synthetic organic resin strip is under tension connecting the recreational vehicle and the roll-up awning metal cover.
