Question Vintage Looking Awnings...

Okay, here's one for all you vintage folks...our GlobeTrotter doesn't have an awning, never did. Because our door swings to the right, if we used a ZipDee or other "traditional" awning with arms, the door would only open 90-degrees instead of flat (180-degrees) to the body. I hate that! I have seen vintage trailers both Airstream & SOBs that have more of a post & pole awning (like the RL Trailers), but I've also seen some that are "way retro cool" ~ you know the kind with the scalloped edge & fringe? I've seen them both with & without guy wires & stakes...I would prefer without, less pieces to haul around, set-up & risk losing. I believe this type awning slides into the rail above the door and can be removed when traveling.

Okay...here are my questions...who makes these??? Anybody have one here that can share pros & cons? I want to get an idea of the price for budgeting purposes now that we see the end of our polishing in sight...I'd rather not have to re-invent the wheel if someone knows where I could find one.

I'm open to other suggestions....it just can't have arms that would impede the door!
