This is the used awning I bought from Singlestons Rv in W state.

I had to re-sew most of the seams but it was well worth the 100 dollars and 90 dollars to have it shipped.

How about those wheel skirts I made from scratch, not bad eh?

I made the new fabric for this awning. The tube is not Zip Dee but the fabric is Sunbrella and matches all of the Zip dee awnings on my trailer.

Just an "a ha!" Ken, when you mentioned "got used from Wa State," I immediately thought of Singleton's. Great place, if a little out of the way. I drove out there myselft for a used lock (only one in the nation that I could find at the time). Great people, such the boneyard of stuff. Great awning, good sewing job!

I was just readimg all the posts and I wanted to say I have had a lot of luck at colaw rv salvage in carthage missouri. I bought a full set of zip dees . A 21' , a7' and two 4' wi
th all hardware for 800.00 .These were off of a 2002 that they had pulled in the day before ( major luck ). If any one needs a generator they had several generacs and onans in the 5500 and 6500 watt range for around 2900 still in the crates

I thought it only appropriate that I post my 1000 th post at the same location as my first.

I am not looking for the awning anymore but I have come a long way baby from that first post in search of my AS part.

That part was for a 1971 Overlander.
I have been through the following units in a matter of less than two years.

1971 Overlander
1979 Sovereign
1983 Excella
1990 Landyacht MH

I wonder what lies over the horizon ............................

Thanks for the ride

I'm glad to have been along for the ride Smiley. You've gone through quite a bit of aluminum and shared all of your wit, wisdom and experiences. Our thanks to you. A tip of the hat.

There's more to be enjoyed down the road.

Some one asked me about finding used awnings, so I used my "Search" feature and found this thread .

As for finding used awnings, Zip Dee are in high demand and are tough to find. There are some resources that sell salvage items.

As for replacing material, buy Sunbrella from www.OutdoorFabrics.com at around 14 dollars a linear yard. Best price I have found.

Get out your sewing machine and make your own. Use upholstery grade thread and a good nylon cord for the retainer. It is really easy to do, especially with the "Fancy" line of stripes. The lines are perfectly square and you seam it using the stripes as a guide.

If you scroll up you can get some ideas.
