What's the best match?

The awning on my trailer was installed in 1978 and they also purchased the screen room but for some reason never used it. It was still in the box when we bought the trailer. It is blue and white stipes. The awning on the trailer for some reason is green and white and is tearing so it needs replacing. Carefree no longer has the blue and white so I was wondering who makes the best match to the original?

Check out Zip Dee, they make the awnings for Airstream. They use Sunbrela fabrics and there are scores of different patterns and color combinations. You may just find an exact match. Good luck.

You can use Sunbrella's website to find a local dealer (www.sunbrella.com). A dealer here let us take the swatch book home for the weekend. Also look at the Dickson swatch book, they are owned by the company that owns Sunbrella and has some different stripe patterns. Good Luck!

Blue and White stripe is my favorite! I got this last year from zipdee. Sunbrella makes the fabric for zipdee.
