     Why don't you call the local sailors in Edmonton and ask them if there is a local sail loft or where
they go for canvas covers. The color you want is "California Blue" I think. Here is a link to the local
Edmonton club and, I note, a local Edmonton phone number to contact. Edmonton Yacht Club

Thanks for the suggestion. Given that we are drydocked in Alberta, I
will try and get a sample of the marine canvas (from a friend in
Vancouver) and see if I can match it up in Edmonton. I don't know if
the local Tent and Awning shop can tailor an awning without the
original, but it's worth a try. Unlike the snaps you mentioned on your
'stream, ours has a rail that you slide the awning awn to (I mean on
to). Anyhow, thanks and please know I've found your posts on maintaining
the integrity of the Airstream interior while redecorating, very
interesting.
