Adding Window Awnings

Thinking of adding window awnings and having a difficult time finding much info.

We have a Dometic WeatherPro w/Sunbrella acrylic fabric patio awning and would like to match the color but can't seem to find color charts or samples. Maybe we should look at a different manufacturer?

We have 2 windows side-by-side so would like to use one awning for both. Since one is 38" tall we will have to use the XL set-up; both windows are the same height at the bottom & 18" apart. Awning size will be 13'.

Anyone have suggestions on vendors and/or installers. We're currently in Yuma. The dealers (?) here have not been able to answer questions or show us hardware or fabric.

One suggestion......if you like to look out those windows, make sure yo get the correct style and goes out, but not down too far. We had really nice window awnings that came on our Diplomat when new. They came down so far that you couldn't look out those windows. Just something to consider.

I didn't look at your rig close enough to note the brand of your awnings. You need to find the original manufacturer, contact them and should be able to get exact replacements.

I thought you had a 2010 Ody? Bought Lloyds '14 CR-V and sold the '05 Ody.
