We recently bought a 2000 RoadTrek 190P which has no awning. I don't consider that a serious problem, but it might be nice to have and I'm not interested in drilling and mounting an awning in the 190P's fiberglass top. Having the shade available over the door seems like it would be a plus.
I'm thinking of trying a self-made awning which can be removable, attached along the roof of the RoadTrek using 3M Dual-Lock reclasable fasteners (

The Dual-Lock is serious stuff and I've used it to equipment on tables and walls without having any problem. Think of it as the Schwarzenegger version of Velcro; the top stuff takes more than 6 pounds per inch to separate.
For the outer edge of the fabric awning material, I'd work out a support rod and tie-down system. The whole idea would be non-destructive to the van and could be discarded if it failed.
Anyone tried something like this?
Anyone tried making their own awning?
