Title: Need a new awning in Colorado
Post by: tedeboy on May 20, 2018, 12:22:30 am
We're on the road and are in Colorado.
My '95TK needs a new awning. The original finally gave out. The roller gearing fell apart rendering it unfurled and inoperable.

Any recommendations for awning shops in Colorado?

Thank you.
Not very good reviews on Google but I'll call them.

tedeboy-

It's not clear whether you need a new mechanism or just new fabric.

Our 1997 used a Fiamma awning. I broke a ratchet on one end. Fiamma was happy to send me a replacement at nominal cost (under $100, I seem to remember).

It might be less expensive to repair your awning. If not, then I would look for a label with part number, and try to replace it with a similar model.

I was impressed with how the Fiamma awning was built, and would prefer one on our current, non-LD coach- if it wouldn't cost $1,300 or so to replace!

Call Tyler at tough top awnings and see if he can help.

It's an A&E awning.
Sadly it would not roll up anymore.
I disassembled it and into the trash.
When it broke it completely unrolled. It had issues and this was it's final goodbye.
All that is left is the housing and roller I couldn't take off with my tools onboard.
