And it still works well! Liz and I replaced the awning fabric, and I picked up a replacement spring assembly at Camping World, but hey, it was an old awning. The arms still look great and the fit is perfect.

BTW - "Old Rivets" now has a new kitchen!

For vintage,

Rope and Pole is the only way, and for a 12 footer, easy and inexpensive. I went with Marti out in California - and you can get any Sunbrella material made. It even came with a custom carrying bag.

My Argy has the A&E Hardware. I need the fabric and spring assy replaced. The rear and side windows also have the A&E awnings and still work awesome.

The A&E curved arms are the nices ones ot there in my opinion. Dometic bought A&E and rumor has it you can still get that hardware. I would really like that type for my Overlander. I have a rope and pole for that now.

My list of wants is quite long.
