Hi Jo Ann,

Zip Dee made both awnings (length of trailer on both sides, door side 
is a full patio and the window side pulls out two ft. and goes the 
length of the trailer to cover all four windows) and the chair fabric 
which replaces the traditional blue that was on my Zip Dee chairs. Zip 
Dee shipped it to Airstream who did the installations. You can order 
direct from Zip Dee and install it yourself. (did that on my 03 Safari, 
it took two to do the installation which wasn't easy but they send 
really clear directions and offer phone support) The color I choose is 
called Forest Green Regimental. If anyone wants a photo I can send one. 
The chair replacement fabric came fully sewn and you just release the 
springs on the chair and put the new one on. I gotta admit that the 
matching chairs looks really cool under the awning and when I take a 
chair to Happy Hour it's easy to pick out from the see of blue Zip Dee 
chairs!!

Hi Patti:
   What a great installation. Did you already have the awning hardware 
on your trailer or did the Airstream people (in Ohio or a dealer???) 
install all that stuff? The matching chair is a great idea - I have the 
original blue ones that my parents used with their big AS back in the 
1970's - they did a lot of AS Caravans and used to host the New Orleans 
Mardi Gras rally when my dad was the head of the Gulf State Region so 
there is some history in the chairs! They drove out here on their first 
long trip sole before joining the Wally B's, pulling the AS over some 
horrible mountain passes when some guy at a service station told them 
about a "shortcut" but finally arrived in one piece having smoked the 
brakes in the tow vehicles cuz my dear flat-lander folks hadn't a clue 
about setting and using the trailer brakes. That trip saw them trade 
the van in for a real Suburban tow vehicle which they put hundreds of 
thousands of miles on.
    I would love to see a picture or two of your rig with the awnings up 
when you get that far. Thanks again for the info.
Jo Ann
