Awning type - How can I tell?

McLogger,

Post if you have any more questions.

Be careful with any Sunbrella fabric as it is acrylic and will fray and peel when cut. You have to use a hot knife to cut the stuff so that the edges seal as they are cut. Be sure the canvas shop you use (if you do this) is so equipped.

I have the awning off our 1979 27' Argosy to have some minor fabric repair done. Other than color, your photos look identical to our awning, and the decals on our arms are from Carefree of Colorado. With that said, the instruction Carefree sent to me don't match the awning though. Best of luck!

Hi All,

I have a 22' Argosy that has an awning in a box, no external legs coming down the trailer, everything folds up in a U-shaped channel that is at the leading edge of the fabric. There are two clips under the canopy box that the telescoping rods fit into, but nothing on the bottom of the trailer for the angle support legs. These legs are made of a U-shaped material also, and the telescoping rods fit into that, which all fold into the big channel. Can anyone identify the manufacturer for me, and more importantly, share where the legs are supposed to attache? They have a slot that looks like they should fit into a bracket, but there isn't any sign that a bracket was ever attached to the trailer. Searching everywhere for a picture of this type of awning, but no luck on that.

Thanks! Tom
