<DIV></DIV>&gt;Subject: [Syncro] Awning Preferences: A&amp;E vs Carefree?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 20:58:33 -0900
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Volks,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I've been wanting to get an awning for the Syncro Westie for some time now.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Unfortunately no one here in Anchorage stocks either brand so I can't really
<DIV></DIV>&gt;see what the differences are.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Therefore, would any of you be so kind as to give me their likes and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;dislikes, and the advantages and disadvantages between the A&amp;E Dometic and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the Carefree of Colorado awnings? Is the A&amp;E Catalina 2500 still being made?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;A few additional awning related questions:
<DIV></DIV>&gt;What length is good for the Westie? Are there any drawbacks to having an
<DIV></DIV>&gt;awning that goes nearly the full length of the van, i.e. over the passenger
<DIV></DIV>&gt;door (in front of the B-pillar)? Or should I just stick w/ on that goes from
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the rear of the van to the B-pillar?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;What features and specs are most useful in an awning for a Westfalia?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Do the Carefree and Dometic A&amp;E awnings protect from the rain, or just the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sun?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks for your help.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
