The 2011 Fall Inventory Of Fabric For Vintage Trailer Awnings Has Arrived

Pictures of  the new Fall 2011 inventory of Fabric for vintage trailer awnings, while it is still on my truck!
I was able to find some awning fabric with earth tones to coordinate with the vintage trailers from the 70's.

The Coastal Herbal and the entire roll of Taupe Tailored Bar Stripe have already been sold. If you see a pattern that you might like for your vintage trailer's awning, let me know and I will take a picture of it unrolled for you.

What Vintage Trailer Awning Am I Working On Today?

 

Today I am working on a Plum Fancy 15' x 8' vintage trailer awning for an Airstream. I also have four other vintage camper awnings in different stages of production. My dining room has turned into an awning fabric disaster zone. Keep in mind, my actual workshop is in the basement! Now you can actually see why I say, "Do not procrastinate about ordering a vintage RV awning".
 I should know, in a couple of days, some of the new patterns numbers that will be available for custom awning orders.
 It must be disappointing to find out that I have just run out of fabric and that I also have a long waiting list for awning orders, especially when you have just found my Blog. Please check back in a few days.

Thanks for keeping me so busy, Kristi

 Each year the abundance of Spring camping rallies scheduled, all across the country, always brings on a frantic rush for vintage trailer awnings. As usual, now that Summer is upon us, I find that another extremely busy awning season has depleted my inventory and reduced the entire fabric selection down to a few patterns with limited yardage. My vintage camper awning fabric selection has dwindled down to the patterns shown above. If you see one that you like, just inquire to see if there is enough fabric left for the size of awning that you need. Thanks again for another wonderful awning season. I will continue to use up the patterns that I have left, to make room for my next bulk order of fabric. Inquire at dfoster@bellsouth.net

TAC The Airstream Club Rally May 2011

Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia was where TAC members congregated, in area five's picnic pavilion each night at 5:30 PM, for appetizers and socializing. Callaway Gardens was nearby, http://www.callawaygardens.com/gardens/georgia-gardens.aspx , but they were hosting a special water skiing event for the Memorial Day weekend. So most of us found other sources of camping entertainment. Several families did venture out to Wild Animal Safari http://www.animalsafari.com/safari/ for a face licking good time! Some folks hiked the Pine Mountain trails, while others rode their bikes or scooters around the campground. Relaxing with a good book and dabbling in water colors, was what I chose to do. One day I gave a quick,sewing session, lesson, for making vintage trailer awnings. Quite a few campers brought along their pets, so doggie walks led to socializing, picture taking, and tours of trailers. Several evenings, marshmallows were roasted over campfires, and movies were projected on the side of an Airstream. The vintage trailer group, on the bottom of the loop, got together several mornings for breakfast; eating waffles, pancakes, bacon and other deliciously fattening fare! Quite a few children, ages ranging from 4-11, kept us all entertained with their bug and frog catching, chalk drawings, blueberry gathering and their observations of the bats nesting in the rafters of the picnic pavilion. Through word of mouth, chalk messages in the road pointing the way, and the original Rally plan set out on the Forum, we managed to have a great time. Be sure to plan ahead for the Fall TAC Rally in Georgia.

Vintage Trailer Window Awnings New for 2011

I have been experimenting with clip on window awnings for vintage Hehr standard awning windows, and their louvered windows too. The 1966, 1967, and 1968 Airstream frame less Awning Windows, with the 3/16" glass thickness, I am trying this prototype out on also. It will be nice to be able to offer a vintage trailer window awning option, that doesn't require screw in snaps that alter your vintage window frames, or any external hardware that requires screws being placed into your vintage trailer's exterior.

It appears that quite a variety of vintage canned hams and vintage travel trailers, besides vintage Airstream trailers, have crank out louvered windows.

 Custom vintage trailer window awnings will not only give your vintage camper a unique appearance, they also have the potential to cut down on UV rays, sunshine glare, fading, and heat build up during the day plus convert to room darkening shades by night.
