I need help in identifying the manufacturer and model of the awning on my coach. I need to acquire a replacement arm going from the awning to the roof.

I posted three photos that should help anyuone who has one of the same models. All the labels that would identify it are long gone.
It is not a Zip Dee.

Tom,

That is the same awning as is on Double Trouble; it is an A&E Awning. I think the model number is 9000 but I'm not sure. I believe I
have the Owners Manual for it unfortunately it is in the USA and I'm in Australia. A&E was bought by Dometic.

Here's some links that might come in handy:

Tom, no mystery about that thing. Same one I replaced the skin on this past summer and busted some parts. Was lucky a friend had the part, spring, that I broke. It is a Colrado Free.

I have 2 full size A+E awnings on my rig; and I would never repair either one. The arms bend easily and then bind on extension or retraction. You then take the arms apart and whale on 'em with a big hammer of choice.

I hang with folks who have zip dee's and their life is much better. The A+E attachment bolsters to the coach frame don't fit right, really need to take the interior end caps off to mount properly.

If someone likes A+E please let me in on the secrets.

I'm not sure what kind mine was, there are pictures of it extended in my portion of the photo site.�� I need another, that one departed the coach in JOnesboro at a show last year in a thunderstorm which blew up so quickly the awning was toast befoe I could get outside and stow it.
