Abstract
A roller assembly is provided for mounting on a vehicle having a door and an awning mounted adjacent the door. The door has a generally-rectangularly shaped face and edging along edges of the face. The roller assembly comprises a roller and a bracket having a mounting portion with a substantially planar surface for abutting the face of the door and a supporting portion for rotatably supporting the roller angularly intersecting the mounting portion. The bracket is adapted for positioning the axis of rotation of the roller generally horizontal and above the edging near a top corner of the door. The supporting portion is adapted to position the axis of rotation of the roller to intersect an axis of rotation of the door.
