Geoff,

I had good luck with A&E awnings and felt that they were much better than Carefree awnings on other coaches. I also had good luck with Girard awnings.

However, since you are installing them on a Prevost, I would only consider Zip Dee and Girard, as anything else will likely diminish the value of your bus.

Two grand won't even come close to a beginning. I had 2 window awnings and slide toppers installed on our '03 Beaver (Carefree) and that was more than $3,000.

We recently had our Zip Dee patio awning on the Liberty "upgraded" with a new motor, reconditioned controller, 2 new rafter arms and one side arm.

No fabric. Still one original side arm and all original hardware.

That cost alone was more than $4,000, installed. If you go the Zip Dee route, you can save a considerable amount of money by installing a manual patio awning rather than an automatic one.

Good luck....
