Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi 2022

 I just started back to work making Inventory Awnings for sale in February 2022.

I post the awning on my Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi Facebook page, when an inventory awning is completed. Then, I list the vintage trailer awning on eBay at seller dlf1954, if I don't get a quick response. (Private Message)

It has been an unusually cold season for making vintage trailer awnings in Georgia, since I have an unheated basement workshop. Only have been able to keep the sewing machine running smoothly when the temperatures moderate, even with a space heater.

So far I have made two Hatteras Raven Sunbrella awnings for sale. One is 7 1/2' along the awning rail and extends forward 8+ inches.(Sold) The other vintage trailer awning for sale is 7 1/2' along the rail, and extends forward just shy of 7 1/2'. (SOLD) This was the last of the roll of Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric in this pattern.

VW Bus Awnings by Kristi

 Recently in 2021 I finished several VW Bus awnings. I make my VW Bus awnings with pockets for shock poles.  When the shock poles are inserted into the pockets, they swing upward arching the awning. This provides extra height underneath and incline for rain run off.

VW Bus Arched Awning by Kristi For Sale

7 1/2' x 7 1/2' attaches to rain gutter with a variety of different types of connectors. Placed in the rain gutter, behind the cab door and extends toward end of the bus.

Pictures are other VW Bus Arched Awnings by Kristi.




Because Many VW Bus shows are set up on concrete or hard packed soil, the shock poles provide the tension for a taut awning. Weighted tie-down lines, to help prevent the wind from flipping the awning, are still recommended. dfoster@bellsouth.net

 I wasn't sure how much time I would have to devote to custom orders this year, so I decided to make inventory awnings and use up some of my fabric.

 I have been busy caring for my elderly parents. Next, I will be helping my daughter move. 

Almost mid-year and I have found time to make about 30 awnings. So, I decided to order some more Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric. Working with the warehouse to see what they have that I like.
