Awnings

[Joe Cannarozzi]

I saw someware someone mention they had never seen a Prevost W/O awnings. Well, we have one and we have gotten to the point were we are going to change that and I know you all can help here! Since we have an 86 and a noncomputer coach, dont even have a DD, everything mechanical, the awnings will continue that same theme, manual. Where to buy, when to buy, what type to buy? We know this is something we could install ourselves but do we want to? Any and all web sites that post up along with all comments will be greatly appreciated. Have any manufacturers ever been to a rally? Mabye we could get one to come out and do an install on our camper, at a future rally, we wouldnt even charge them anything! We have seen fabric that you can see through, but not in, like the winshield covers, installed on awnings and we like this but have only seen them in ads.

Joe, I have had two coaches with Zip Dee awnings and have been satisfied with both. Strong and built to last. Customer service second to none. Check them out online. There are many other manufacturers, but Zip Dee makes awnings as their prime product....not as a sideline. Ken & Ellen

Joe: Ditto Ken & Ellen. We had Zip Dee come to the coach at the Springfield OR FMCA Rally. They put the canvas back into the rail for us on one that the wind got. They tuned up the remainder of the awnings all at no charge. We just ordered all new awning replacement material from them. The key is get on their list early before the rally starts and I believe they will perform for you. When you see Zip Dee on the new Prevost, thats got to tell you something.

Joe,

You live near ZipDee. We went to the factory and they installed our awnings on the first coach. Fast, and they did it right.

If you call in advance they can have verything waiting for you.

Jon, Wait a minute, are these guys up in Elk Grove village, Ill.? What about a web address? How long are the Patio awnings on Mikes and yours?

[lewpopp]

Yes, they are in Elk Grove. I have been there for adjustments and have heard since they refer you to a dealer down the street a bit. That's what I heard.

You have received answers of all that you asked except one. "When to buy" 10 years ago is the best time. You'll pay the big buck for Zip Dee but they are the heaviest duty and top of the line.
