And don't buy it from AIRSTREAM!!!
I can't beleave that they don't know if it is a warrenty issue, when it is less than 30 days old. Even Auto Zone well replce there junk in the first 30 days.

The last week in July I ordered three awnings ( Fabric Only) from Zip Dee for my 06 Safari. $974.00.
They were shipped on 8 Aug.
On 26 Aug Roger Williams Airstream removed my old awnings.
On 27 Aug they began installing the new Awnings. The Patio is perfect, the street side short awning is 2" short & the rear window awning has a seam 17" in from one side.
I called Zip Dee and was told that the seam was because the material is not wide enough.
I told the Owner (Ron) that my old awning didn't have a seam, nor did any of the one's on my dealers lot. He ask what he could do too make me happy and I said send me a window awning with out a seam.
He said we can't deal with you and hung up.:angr y:
I didn't even get too the street awning or the fact that gray thread on maroon looks bad.
I would like too know if anyone with maroon Zip Dee awning have gray thread.

Hi, I checked your pictures and here is what I see:

(1.) The awning with the seam near the middle is because your material was at the end of the roll and spliced. Not acceptable.

(2.) The side awning being a few inches short is out of range: I would accept the fact that production could vary between 1/4" to 1" maximum, but beyond that would only be acceptable only with an agreed discount as in a second.

(3.) As for the gray thread used on the seams, I don't know, maybe they use the gray thread on all awnings? Or maybe they don't. I don't know.

You should write a book on your Airstream experiences and get rich on their failures that you have lived to tell about.

Well today we finished the 50 AMP conversion & the axle replacement with new mags and Michelin tires.
I added remote air pressure braided hoses too the trailer and new truck spare tires.
The new door window will be in Tues which should allow me too be in my winter camping site by Wed.
Then I can start looking for an awning shop that can buy Sunbrella material and remake the two awnings.

PS - you like the new Super Duty truck? I still love mine!!

My new door window was delivered and installed Thur. I love the new window, besides being able too see out, it match's the other windows on the trailer.
I sold my old mag's and tires but still have the Awnings if anyone needs them. Sizes: Main Awning is 16' 1", Roadside Awning is 16'3", the rear window Awning is 50". They are the stock gray off my 06 Safari 25'.
These are material only, no arms are rollers. You can contact me at 512-497-5120.
