I've heard of Carefree and A&E, just don't have much knowledge on them. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

CareFree no longer makes hardware for Airstream trailers, so you won't be able to use them. A&E/Dometic does, depending on year. What year vintage Airstream are you getting? If it's pre-1969, Zip-Dee will be the only "permanent" awning you can use. You can get the cabana style awnings, where you slide the fabric in the awning rail, and hold it up with poles and ropes.
