I have a ram 1500 classic with an 8 ft bed and a leer 122 topper. I want to turn it into a winter camper, and I wanted to extend the working space and thought an awning could do the trick.

A rear awning in particular would work great because then I can use my 6’ pullout drawers as a quickly deploying kitchen.

However, I’m not sure, how would I mount an awning without the canopy’s door getting in the way? And what awning would work for that?

I thought about extending the awning from inside the canopy, but that’s just asking for moisture problems.

Alternatively, I was thinking of just using straps to limit the range of motion of the canopy door, which would allow me to extend an awning over the door and still access the interior of the canopy. Eg to get cookware.

Anyhow, if anyone has any ideas or done somethjng like this before, I’d love to hear!

Thanks!
