I haven't been there since 92, I'm lucky to remember it at all! It was beautiful and since all the leaves had pretty much hit the ground there wasn't anyone else around...we went into North Conway and had dinner at (if I can remember correctly) a Scottish restaurant, really good!

I was pretty keyed up about the Add-a-Room but put off by the expense. We're going to set up a tent as close as possible to the trailer and see how that works for us. It won't be perfect but it's worth a try, as we already have the tent and it was about a hundred bux.

When we traveled with gkids the boys loved the pup tent, we set it up under the awning, kept them relatively dry and gma's peace of mind.

Kathleenh, what did you decide about your add-a-room? My husband and I are wanting to get one for our (yet to be delivered) Sport 22FB. We have 2 dogs we'd like to give a little breathing room to and this seems like a good start. Thanks,
Emily

Since this is an awning related question, I hope it's cool to post it here (new to all this).

I am traveling solo in my new trailer (mostly) and being 5'2 I am having a heck of a time with the awning. Just not tall enough to have the height and upper body strength to pull and lock it all into place.

Does anybody know if Zipdee now has an Automatic awning for the Airstream? Was thinking I might check those out for the Entry side of the trailer, and see if the original awning could be installed on the other side.

Thoughts? Thanks everybody!

Zip Dee awnings have a center strap, along with about a 3 foor long rod with a hook on the end of it.

That rod is used to hook the strap, and then pull out the awning.

That would work perfect for you.

Yes, there is automatics, but very expensive.

Hey Andy:

Yep - that's the kind I have. And with a 3 step ladder and 15 minutes, I can struggle solo with the thing and still have trouble getting it up and down, due to the height and upper body strength required to pull/set the tension arms.

How expensive is expensive on an automatic one? And could the one I have be mounted on the other side of the Eddie Bauer?

Thanks - Pinky

Pinky - have you watched this video? It takes all the extraneous effort out of the process:

Excellent! Some very helpful tips on here that the dealer didn't tell me. Appreciate it very much.

I can't answer your question until I get back to my office, September 15th.

I don't take my catalogs etc, with me when I visit Hawaii.

But, you can ask Linda at Zip Dee, # 800-3382378.

Mahalo.
