Yes, all of mine have the curved bars that fit right up against the trailer when closed up. To bad, I was not thinking last year I during my fall cleaning, I tossed out an older Falkner (Airstream style) 15 foot awning with all hardware, it needed new material, but Camping World has that for about $130. I was stupid, but some of you might know how it is, you can only accumulate so much stuff! I just happened to have room in a 40 yard dumpster, left over from a new roofing job on the house. I could not let the dumpster leave half empty, so I filled it up. This past few months I have been figuring out I tossed a lot of good things I could have used. That awning I tossed could have been shortened to any length you desired by taking off the roller end cap and cutting it to size reinstall the cap and get the right size fabric or vinyl.
