Hi Beverly WatkinsThey are all worth saving... good for you guys. Sounds like you've done most of the hard work. Zip Dee is the current supplier to Airstream, and other RV manufacturers, of awnings. I like their selection of fabrics, especially the vintage patterns.
Greg B. replied:
If you want to go to a significantly nicer awning, you can remove that one and install a beautiful brand new Zip Dee Awning, made in your choice of Sunbrella Fabrics. Feel free to check out their website,. www.awningsbyzipdee.com

Join the Wally Byam Airstream Club at www.wbcci.org, and the intraclub, Vintage Airstream Club (VAC). Great friends in the whole club, and, even more fantastic people in the VAC who have done exactly what you will be doing! Panels can be replaced using Olympic rivets from the outside, or, if you are removing the interior, you then can buck the original style rivets. Good luck, hoping to see this beauty down the road! 5809 will be looking for you.

Just try to read the reviews. We can only do simple things and have spent some money. Most have been great but some are dealer AS rip offs. We just had about $3000 done at a dealer and found our trailer dumped on its spring bars at Campers Clinic in Buda. We just happened by to get a charger cable and there she was with the jack up. A nightmare but it is hard to get in now..everyone wants to rv. The work so far has been great but no respect for our trailer from the tow guy. They apologized and noted it on our invoice.

Yes, George Hernandez of Classic RV in Patterson, NY. My local Sob rv repair guy did work for me too on my AS.
