Zip Dee Awnings
We just purchased a 1991 33' Regal that did not have the standard Zip Dee Awning package. Being this coach is 14 years old is there a place where we could purchase salvage awnings verse new Zip Dee Awnings. We would like to install the full Awning package. The colors of the coach are silver, burgundy and dark grey...so the plain burgundy awning or the striped three colors would work. Any information would be appreciated.

The closest surplus place to you is probably in Elkhart, IN which I know isn't all that close. https://www.rvsurplussalvage.com/index.php

there are Camping Worlds in both New Jersey and Ohio but non in PA and of course they would have everything for you there.

A cost-effective alternative might be to consider a new non-self-storing unit....Basically, a cover that slides into a track on the coach with corner poles & support lines......More time & effort involved in set-up & take-down, but substantially less expensive than integral mounted units.....and shade is shade.....

CW & others sell many varieties........

Hi,
I have had excellent luck dealing with PPL Parts for our awning needs. You can access them on line at parts@pplmotorhomes.com

I put an awning on my unit that was taken off of a blown apart 2003 30' pull behind. I got it from a salvage yard and put it on my 33' 1991 Oshkosh Regal.

My rig did not come with an awning either. A word of advice for installation. Get 3 people, Pull up to a loading dock or a retaining wall, this will make the job alot easier. One person on the roof to pull the fabric thru the channel and the other 2 on the wall/dock to support the roll. Use dish detergent and apply to the channel. This will allow the fabric to slide without tearing or leaving a residue behind.

Hi Bill, thanks for the advice. No mention of what salvage yard you found your awning at. I checked the place Dave recommended, I could not seen any Zip Dee awnings listed. I'm sure somewhere there is a wrecked or damaged coach that awnings could be salvaged. Guidence is always appreciated... we are newbie's. :-)

Whamer: Have you called all the RV supply houses in your area? I know at least one here in Coeur d'Alene that has a bunch of left over and salvaged awning parts; may be some in your area???
