ABSTRACT:
An awning assembly for a recreational vehicle has a pair of pivoting support arms supporting a roller. Rafters are pivotably and slidably mounted to the support arms and maintain the awning in an extended position. In a stowed position, the rafters and support arms are parallel and extend vertically along a wall of the vehicle. The support arms have bent upper ends so that the roller is positioned above a top edge of the wall to provide a low profile in the stowed position. Existing support arms can be equipped with bent extension adapters. A sliding latch is mounted on the support arm and engages the rafter when the awning is stowed. The latch is spring biased to a latching position and has a bolt that automatically retracts similar to a door bolt.
