RV Awnings – Before Girard, There Was Zip-Dee

In recent articles on RV awnings, I’ve talked about Carefree of Colorado, Dometic of A&E Systems, Girard Systems Awnings… I’ve talked about personal experiences with these Junction City, OR awnings. To Brunswick, I.

I felt like I should also mention Zip-Dee awnings.

Before Girard… Zip-Dee Awnings were the elite leader in RV awnings. All Airstream trailers were equipped with Zip-Dee. So being a very high-end and expensive product, it has only been made ever since to use the most elite awning in the business.

The operation of these awnings was absolutely unique to his style. It was challenging but very rewarding to be able to show someone else how to correctly and effectively operate this unique style of awning.

These awnings, like Girard awnings, were extremely durable and in the days when automatic retractable awnings did not exist…the Zip-Dee took the wind’s punishment like no other. They were very hard.

They had no struts to face the wind. They had no retractable function. And they weren’t an awning you could quickly put up to out of the wind. They were just tough!

Only the highest end and most expensive products would use this type of awning. As mentioned above, Airstream – – – but also all Prevost bus converters would mount these awnings on the most expensive bus on the market.

Today – – – these awnings are a very modern and technically advanced, durable and strong awning that will withstand wind and heat. They are probably the most custom awnings offered today. They fit an RV like a glove. I think they are the best looking out of all the awnings you can choose from.

They have a very low maintenance fabric… you don’t have to do a thing to it except spray it once in a while. The colors are bright and vibrant and are simply beautiful to look at.

The hardware used is the strongest in the business. The incident with the hardware is low to zero.

One problem you don’t want with an rv is a leaking problem. Every time you drill a hole in an RV, you open a pathway for water to enter and cause problems. Zip-Dee uses a leak-resistant aluminum slat cover to greatly reduce the chance of leaks.

They make a series of about six window awnings that I think are a better size than most of their competitors and a better fit and custom shape to the side of any RV, whether it be a travel trailer, fifth wheel, or camper. trailer.

What I like best about Zip-Dee is that they are a very warm and personal company. You don’t have to go through millions of prompts on a telephone answering system to talk to a warm-blooded human being. They are wonderful people who REALLY, REALLY CARE about YOU!
