They look nice. I like the new spoiler. I'm not so sure about the awning since it does not look like it would keep much rain away from the door.

Here's a tip:
Take some rubber door edging and put it along the bottom of the door. A piece about 2 or 3 inches long will suffice. Use some silicone to glue it in place. Place it so that it will protect the door edge and fender if the door is opened too wide. It looks like there is still no stop to prevent the door from hitting the fender. This will address that so the fender does not get scratched up by the metal door edge.

There is a rubber bumper on the bottom of the door that hits the fender if it opens to far.I would have put it a bit lower but it seems to work ok.

Congrats on all the new deliveries.  We'll have to open a maternity ward around here.

One positive on the built-in awning, it should be much easier to open it up on a rainy day so the side window can be opened up all the way for ventilation.

Great! I could not see that in the picture. It was one thing I suggested to my dealer. Forest River sent a replacement fender which was installed on mine because the original one was scratched from people opening the door too wide, presumably while it was being shown at the dealer's. I am glad Forest River saw that a stop was needed. My suggested fix has been rendered moot.
