[VAL] Awning...



 The Zip Dee awnings on the AS that I bought this year are in perfect
condition and the three little awings are so cute and easy to use
BUT..............the big awning on this 31'  gripes my gizzard.    I am an
older woman and  about as independent as a hog on ice but  it is not possible
for me to get this awning up and down by myself.       I usually ask one of
the campers to help and usually he recruits another man and the three of us
get it up or down.    Going up is the biggest pain to get that  round thingie
lined up so you can pull the screw handle over and tighten it down.     Gotta
get it started up lined up really good or you wind up at the top way off and
that's when I fell off a little 3 step ladder and thought for sure I broke my
ankle but praise the Lord it was just darn sore.    So, now I don't even try I
just go find help.    Grrrrrrrrrr    I hate to not be able to do something my
self.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, hope to meet some of you down the road some
time or other.    Barb
