Yesterday, I installed a 5' white awning rail above the front window on my Tag-A-Long camping trailer. The awning rail has a 3/8" diameter c-channel, which is the correct diameter for the vinyl welt or fabric covered marine grade cord, that comes on my vintage trailer awnings. So, I let the clear adhesive, on the top edge of the awning rail, dry for a day before trying out my window awning. There is a pretty brisk breeze today, and I wanted to see what the window awning would do, on the new framework that I created. Everything seems to be working fine and it has been on the trailer for about four hours now. The Sunbrella window awning is 5'4", which is as wide as I would put on a 5' rail. I was only able to purchase the rail in 60" sections. My experiment seems to be a success.

As usual for this time of year, there is a waiting line, for custom vintage trailer awning orders. I know this information is disappointing for new customers to discover. It seems like everyone is trying to have a vintage trailer awning made in time for an upcoming Spring rally. Let me remind you, that I have a very small, home based business, with one employee which is me. There is not a warehouse, a factory, an assembly line, or illegals in a sweatshop; it's just me sewing a handmade camper awning especially for you. I am presently working on the 30th awning order for 2015. If you do not have a deadline for an awning, I am still taking custom awning orders. Payment reserves the fabric of choice, from my inventory, and the next place in line for a vintage trailer awning. This link will show you the 2015 patterns, that I am still unloading. Inquire at dfoster@bellsouth.net with your awning rail length, because there are other patterns available for small awnings. https://plus.google.com/photos/102508300905463390757/albums/6126641495297701185?banner=pwa
PayPal, a personal check, or a postal money order are all acceptable forms of payment. I am getting excited about attending several springtime rallies also, and looking forward to using the new rock guard awning that matches the vintage trailer awning, that I made for myself last Fall.

I have regularly been making rock guard awnings, but sometimes vintage trailers don't come equipped with protective rock guards to use as a support for an awning. So, I decided to create a framework for a vintage trailer front window awning. Keeping in mind the expense of shipping such a framework, I have been experimenting with different concepts in design, construction, and assembly. I am excited to say that my original idea actually worked!
