Awning color

[seabee6787]

Does anyone know what year Airstream first offered the maroon/burgundy/red awning as an option? Is it still an option on new Airstreams? Also, what is the "official" name of the color?

On our motorhome the "official" color is called "Tapestry Red", but people have called it maroon/burgundy/red just by looking at it. Ours is a 1990, 34.5' (345LE).

I think I agree with you - I have the standard awnings, but I would like to have the maroon awnings. I have a 1993. Thanks for posting.

hi seabee'

it's difficult to get exact dates because of overlapping and upgrades.

and the issue of stripes vs solid colors and classics vs other models.

in THIS decade the red/burgundy was used part of the classic "limited" upgrade package which included LOTS of stuff like hickory woodwork.

this was true UNTIL 2007,

when the option package was dropped and ALL classics were labeled classic limiteds, but went back to blue striped awnings.

the recently labled DWR version of the bambi has a BRIGHTER RED for the awning, consistent with the dwr branding palate.

and LIMITED upgrades from way back years often came with BROWN/chocolate striped awnings.

sunbrella supplies the fabric to zip dee.

one may SPECIAL ORDER any of the 100s of sunbrella colors or patterns for a new trailer.

it's a special upgrade and will cost extra but can be done.

current owners can also order REPLACEMENT fabric from z/d in any of the colors or patterns...

visit the z/d website or the sunbrella site and check out the options...

here are some useful threads on this issue, WITH color options.

According to our records, the "Burgandy" color was used in 98 and 99.

Zip Dees color number is 4631.

Do you still the burgandy /grays striped zip dee awnings for a 34 93' Limited? I sure would love the Blue Fancy striped awnings..

We have provided many Pacific Blue Fancy awnings.

Thast color seems to be the most popular amoung Airstream owners.
