Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > ALUMINUM INCASED AWNING? This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  1st 5er • View posts Camarillo, Ca. USA New Member Joined: 08/01/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 08/08/04 10:01am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I just bought a new Keystone Mountaineer and the awning is exposed to the elements when rooled up. While in the market I noticed that none of the 5'ers we looked at had the in-cased awnings. Is there some reason these can't be installed on a 5'er? Also what do you pro's do to protect your awning from the elements? Thanks...

The dealer said they are very expensive. The particular set up on that MH was 6K. Too rich for my blood. But they can be installed on 5ers as well. 02 F250 PSD Carriage Cameo F27RKS big griz • View posts western us Senior Member Joined: 03/10/2004 View Profile Posted: 08/08/04 10:38am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator My awning is wrapped in an aluminum shield when it is retracted protecting it from the elements.

Mine did, so don't buy one for that reason . ozzie Paulc • View posts Shelby Twp, Michigan Senior Member Joined: 03/06/2004 View Profile Posted: 08/09/04 02:17am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We also have a A&E 9000 with an aluminum shield on our Sunnybrook. It was a requested option when we ordered it. I think it was like a $150.00 upgrade.

I don't remember the cost, but it was in the $100 - $150 price range. It protects the awning from the sun, bird droppings, and tree sap when rolled up. 2003 Chevy 3500 Duramax/Allison 2003 Carri-Lite 32'RK Fulltimers living on the ragged edge of poverty. tcrosby • View posts Erie , Pa New Member Joined: 06/19/2004 View Profile Posted: 08/09/04 07:30am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Does anyone know if the aluminum cover can be bought by itself and put on an awning without one? fishingbob61 • View posts cookevill tn Senior Member Joined: 09/26/2003 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 08/09/04 07:41am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator No it cant Bob and Sue 40 years camping 2005 Holiday Rambler Presidential 36RLT 5th wheel 2004 Chevy 3500 D/A crew cab long bed 4x4 Dually 3.73 Honda eu3000 gen This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > ALUMINUM INCASED AWNING?
