Zip Dee Solar Shade for 25ft Airstream

[dforn83]

Looking for advice from someone who has installed the solar shade on a 25 ft model (we have the relax automatic awning, but I don't think that really changes the install). Did you get the 10ft or the 15ft? The other question is did you go with the 57 inch drop or the 72 inch drop.

Thanks for your input!

10 ft. 57 It performs a very useful function at certain times of the year, but it does restrict access, thus the smaller size.

Get the 15' for your 25' AS. You will have real nice full coverage. When we ordered ours the guy at Zip Dee recommended the 57" drop so we went with that. He said the 72" drop would be at ground level with the awning deployed. MISTAKE! We have since ordered another one with the 72" drop for much better coverage. The same guy answered the call when ordering the second one and we informed him that his recommendation to get the 57" drop was wrong in our estimation. The 72" drop is still up off the ground at least a foot even with the awning tilted to the rear of the trailer. (we have a RBT model so door is in front). These are $$$ so get it right the first time.

We spend the winters at LYH in Melbourne, Florida so the awning and solar shade are in use pretty much all the time. High wind is only time we retract awning and the solar shade rolls right up with it. For travel you have to remove the solar shade as awning will not lock down with shade rolled up with it.

We also have a 25’ AS and ordered the 15 foot 72 in drop. It is perfect I’m amazed how well it reduces the temperature and blocks the glare. One of our better AS purchases.
