I changed the awning canvas on my Zip Dee awnings about 3 years ago. It wasn't too expensive; about $800 for 3 new awnings. The Girard awning is about the same price.
It really makes the coach look sharp!
Wanted to ask you, do you do any oli maintenance or nay kind of lubrication on your Zip Dee's arm/roller part?
On my Girard I do lubricate the arms joints and base parts.
When rectract it still makes dragging noise! it always did, I am thinking is due to the old streatched fabric !
I lube the roller hardware once a year, or when they start squeaking.
thanks for some tips!
We traveled trough CA & AZ where you get some windy,dusty wether and the parts on the Girard do get dry & dusty and start making noise I ened up just spray dry lube right on moving parts every 2 -3 weeks case we used lot in 80-90F temps, all the sound ( draggin sound went away) my fabric is very streatched.
in Indio at MCC there is company who did my solar winshield covers and they do replace fabric, we will get it done next winter while there!
