Trailer Awning
I'm looking to add a "built-in" awning to my trailer. Ideally, this would attach to the trailer, be road-worthy, and easy to deploy/retract. Not really sure what to go searching for -- "trailer awning" either brings back RV solutions or flimsy contraptions I know won't hold up to Texas wind...
Suggestions?

If you are looking for an awning like the one on my trailer it's an RV type. Camping world has them.

"...attach to the trailer, be road-worthy, and easy to deploy/retract..." That's a description of an RV-type*.
"...hold up to Texas wind..." Add that and you're describing an RV-type with the legs unclipped from the trailer/dropped to the ground**, with tie-downs + water buckets and multiple awning wind-clips*** on the fabric ends.
"...storm..." Add that and you're describing the unachievable Utopian awning; BUT, with an RV-type ... "easy to deploy/retract" makes rapid unassisted stowing when that storm approaches much more realistic.

Based on my limited experience + pics and stories shared by my parents who were 30+ year Airstream full-time RV'ers who saw every imaginable awning success and catastrophy
