Abstract
A recreational vehicle includes an annular roller for supporting an awning fabric. The roller has a plurality of C-shaped retainer channels internally disposed at spaced positions on its annular periphery. A pair of these C-shaped channels are shaped to receive the awning fabric and to receive rods which extend through the awning fabric to hold the awning fabric in fixed position relative to the roller. A coupling member has a bead which is retained within another of the C-shaped retainer channels. The article also has a body portion which extends from the bead. A hole may be provided in the body portion to receive a member such as a hook. Different articles such as potted plants, clothes hangers and messages may be attached to the hook.
