Just posted my patio awning for sale.
Used to own a 1968 MCI 5A and a 1977 5C.

Ed -

Why did you decide to sell your ZipDee awning?

RJ, Quit using the one on the 5A and sold it, haven't used this one either. Would rather replace it with a window awning. Thought that during the course of our travel i might find somebody that wants it.

Little too far to go after it. Oh well.

I saw it on the Internet. It MUST be true...

 Jim, we might be going to Ft. Benning Ga. in late Sept. or Oct.  won't know for sure until then. Too many things that may affect our travel plans right now. Will probably be in Montana around the 1st of Sept.  after that????  Will keep you in mind if things work out. Ed

OK Ed. I haven't decided what I want to do about an awning but even a 20 footer would be better than what I have and as I recall they tend to cost a bit more than that. So yeah, count me as interested.

Window awnings are very handy. For shade on the chosen windows and also rain protection when those shaded windows are left open. We have two window awnings on the opposite side the large patio awning is on.

I went the ZIP DEE package on my Eagle with the patio awning and wished I went with all window awnings Zip Dees are pricey in case people think 800 bucks is to steep for a used awning. Lol Sonja found a bargain on 4 Zip Dee patio awning at a Bus'n USA rally in Oregon and I had to deal hauling those around all summer, Her Zep Dee awning buy is how I met Bobofthenorth ( Bob Evans) he drove from FL to Az to get one.Sonja would buy anything that was a bargain

Sounds a lot like my wife who lives for thrift stores & garage sales. But I have to admit after 47 years together she usually surprises me with the stuff she finds at her happy place thrift/garage and brings home and asks me - "thought of you, can you use this?"
Holy Cow! YES! Lol
