Abstract
A header bar is secured to the roof of a van by adjustable suction cups. The awning has one edge fastened to the header bar and an opposite edge fastened to a roller tube. 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.
