Like others, I've casually looked for accessories for our Thule awning (screen room, shades on the sides and/or front) and realized these things were only sold overseas and were very expensive.........until now. After waiting for 2 weeks hear back from Thule about my inquiry about this, they sent the following:

Please contact Lippert at
https://www.lci1.com/ - https://www.lci1.com/

Went to Lippert's website and found this: Our Solera Awning line offers so much more than shade and shelter with a range of unique awning styles, sizes and options including awning lights, speakers and multiple fabric and hardware color options. Our new Thule box-style awning can be mounted almost anywhere on an RV, making it ideal for use over toy hauler ramp doors and on Class A, B and C motorhomes

So it appears Lippert has something to do with them now. I haven't contacted them yet but there is no mention of accessories for the awning or anything else about it.

Thank you. I hope you hear something soon. I am curious as to whether we will be able to purchase accessories for the awning also.

LCI has been working to acquire the rights to market and sell those accessories here for along time now. Awesome to see it's finally moving forward.
