The roller tube is supported by a pair of adjustable support poles. The awning is held in tension by spring loaded rafters located between the header bar and the roller tube. The suction cups are slidable in a pair of parallel channels of the header bar. The suction cups are also vertically adjustable. The parts can be disassembled and stored in a storage bag or tube.
