  • Zip-Dee Awings

    Posted by Art on October 7, 2017 at 7:41 pm

    Are you tired of getting the latter out to open or close the Zip-Dee manual awning, I converted to the NX rafter upgrade kit by Zip-Dee so no more ladders, Just reach up and pit Rafter on the roller tube, much easier. If you look at the pic the upper rafter is mounted on coach and hook goes to roller tube. NX kit $ 220.00 bucks sorry for the side ways

    Are you aware there is a tool used to reach and release the locks, then to pull the awning down using the strap, and finally acts as a “saddle” to release the awning stay brace lock so the brace can be extended and dropped into the slot at the top? All done with your feet in the ground and no ladder.

    yes I have one but it isn’t that easy, former owner has some dings in the paint from dropping upper rafter, trying to fit it in upper little slot, with nx kit much easier.

    Art, do you have the part number for the upgrade kit? Looking at their web site not sure what to order. Did you get from ZipDee or a dealer?

    Thanks

    http://www.awningsbyzipdee.com/nx-hardware-upgrade-kit.htmlHey Jim! Call Zip-Dee direct and tell them you want the NX Upgrade kit, tell them what kind of coach Prevost XL year 2000 and they will send you all the stuff you need, Rafters are specific for each coach. I think it was $250 maybe can’t remember, It’s so easy to put up and take down after you install. it comes with new upper rafters and a bunch of other parts.

    Hey Jon! what am I doing wrong when I send a link it’s not blue and won’t open?? Thanks’

    Art, when I add a link I click on the little chain like icon in the upper right of the reply box and add the link to that.
