Thumbs up Scored two new ZipDee awnings today!!

Not "brand new," but never installed. One for the whole street side, and one for the rear window. Complete with hardware!!

Someday, when it's not 113 in the shade, I'll install them, too!

That's great. We will need the same at some point. They're a little pricey new.

So, when you need the new additions now you have to wait until later? What a bummer...

I didn't "need" them now, but the deal was too good to pass up.

Lucky! I'm actually on hold with Zip Dee right now & just decided to surf the AS forum while I wait. Holding my breath for the price of a 20ft Street side awning!

So, how much do they want for the street side awning?

Actually, I meant curbside awning (patio). A 20ft. awning is $1578 + $25 for a shipping tube + 665 for all the hardware + $250-$300 shipping (or 10% tax if you pick it up, but it comes out to the same as shipping) for a grand total of $2568 My budget is almost gone...!

Can you find a used one around somewhere? I found this deal on the local Craigslist.

I don't think I should tell you what I gave for these two awnings.

Becky B my 27 foot dometic awning cost 1300 including shipping and hardware thru camping world I'm just saying zip Dee isn't the only game in town I like my awning it even has metal that covers the fabric when it's rolled up.

Thanks, Bellastream. I've already got fabric for all the rest of my awnings (4 more) & Zip Dee carries the fabric I have. I'm going to hold off a while to see if I can find a used one. Been looking, but to no avail!

I am sure many of us here are jealous right now. Within the last 2 months I ordered and received and installed the street side and rear Zip Dee awnings. My savings was 10% rally price, (FL State Rally this past Spring in the FL Keys) helped a lot. Love them, nice looking!
