[VAC] Re: Awning ideas needed for a '67 Caravel

["My Airstream" <myairstream@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Jim,
    There is an overlap here with my quest for "California Room".  I agree
that it would be hard for one person to thread the length of the awning rail
. . . especially if it were for a temporary purpose.  But if the purpose
were to use the awning rail for a water seal on a permanent adjoining room,
it would seem like an elegant solution.

As to hooks in the awning rail, I put one hole in the end of my rail and
used a large circular key ring type fastener.  I then hooked my doggie line
to the fastener and it has been taught and strong for a year and one half.
If water leakage is not a concern, I think the multiple hooks and karabiners
would work quickly and have strength on any model Airstream.  What does Doug
do to anchor the outside corners of his canopy?
