Zip Dee, 15' 11 3/4 ", which is the best, longest lasting retractable RV awning made, that has a metal cover over the fabric when stowed.

I am not at my office, to look up the exact cost, but the price for that size exceeds $1000.00.

To that you should also add a "center support."

We have the 24ft Argosy and was given a quote for a 20 ft Zip Dee for close to $1700. With installing and tax right at a cost of $2000

The length of your awning rail is 14 feet, exactly.

Therefore your Argosy can only use a 13' 11 3/4" Zip Dee at maximum.

If someone quoted you on a 20 foot Zip Dee, then they certainly are not aware of the proper sizes and/or maximum lengths.

A 20 foot awning in your case would have 6 feet hanging off one end or the other.
