The cheap white awning on my ACE has become pretty stained and shabby looking and starting to show thin spots near the top. So I want to replace it. Found plenty of places that sell them, CW seems to be a little pricier than some others. It's a carefree electric awning. What I am having trouble with is finding solid colors. Seems like they all have stripes. I want something dark and solid that won't show dirt as much. I know they make them because the ACE models with paint come in all black. I am Ok sticking with vinyl to keep costs down. Any sugestions?

We are hang the same problem matching the dark green fabric of our awnings.A&E systems (domestic) doesn't use the solid colors and more.

Any place that does boat canopy work can help you. There are lots of boat shops in Eastern MD.

Update - called carefree, they do still make the solid colors. It's called denim print and it's both sided which is nice. Black or brown. Now, is CW the only place to order or do a lot of places carry?

Try Sailrite. They have every kind possible.Ken

We just replaced two toppers and a spring, we have Carefree and went thru a Carefree dealer/agent.. They had the best price and matched our OEM color which some others said they didn't make/have any more.. These lasted almost ten years so if these new ones go that long we'll be ready to hing it up by then.. Mike Mathews..

14' awning. Need 13'2" of actual material. I should have mentioned that. The carefree looks like a better than the OEM with the denim weave and 2 sided color. I'll get a price from CW but from what I usually see they are expensive.

Wow, not many people know about "Sailrite". I've got a Sailrite LSZ-1 Walking foot zig-zag machine of theirs. It's a fantastic machine. Now, as for them supplying material, Yes sir-ee bub, they got more material than Carter has Liver pills. They have kits for doing it yourself, or plain material and much, much more. Now, maybe this is not for the OP but, making one to me, would be kind of fun. But I can sure appreciate the ability to either take one out of the box and install it or, simply cruise on down to the local RV repair specialists and have one installed. Your choice.

Looks like they only have stripes and fades. I need solid.
