Really would like to hear from anyone who has used the PahaQue awnings, particularly the visor.  Ease of installation and Storage?

I have the visor. Easy to put on except I am a bit short so I need a step stool. It sometimes snags on the screw heads in the railing and you have to wiggle it to get it to go through. As far as storage it smaller and lighter then one of those folding camp chairs. I thought it was expensive for what you get and I would have preferred an actual awning, but at least it's something over the door.

We have a Visor.  For our purposes, it's perfect.  Don't compare it to the R-Dome--that's apples to oranges.  The Visor's advantages are the fact that it's small and easy to install, and most of all, does not have poles or ropes that extend beyond the camper.  We often find ourselves camping where there's a tree or rocks or some other barrier a few feet from the door of the Pod, so using any other kind of shelter would be out of the question.  But the Visor works perfectly in those circumstances.

Its biggest disadvantages is that it provides relatively little shade/shelter. 

Johncoc's Visor (above) sounds like a pretty good deal.  We bought ours used for about that last year, and don't regret it.
