Here's another DIY van project! I want an awning for shade when I'm caping but I don't want to spend the $$ for a permanently mounted one. So, I've been thinking about how I could make one that will do the trick on an upcoming camping trip and be economical. I'll let you all know how it worked in a later van video.
I bought the 100 lbs magnets from Amazon, the poles and pegs from Cabela's and the 5' x 8' tarp and cord from Dollarama.
These are the magnets: Grtard 6Pack Magnetic Hooks with Swivel Carabiner Hook, 100LBS Heavy Duty.https://amzn.to/3SOl6T4
