[A/S] Repacing spring in Zip Dee Awning (was 'new to me Airstream')

["Thomas Dickieson" <lleather@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Y'All;

Thanks Lawrence for the answer that the spring was replaceable.  
Thanks everyone else for the suggestions on Zip Dee's web site.  I 
had already been there and seen the instructions on spring tension, 
silicone and maintenance, but they did not indicate that their tubes 
could be rebuilt.  The silicone didn't help, and after unrolling the 
awning there was no tension, so adding tension wouldn't have been the 
answer.  I am fairly certain that the spring is broken, but do not 
wish to disassemble the awning if replacement parts are not 
available.  Again, thanks everyone.  I will get onto Zip Dee about a 
new spring (and the instructions that Lawrence mentioned)

This is a loverly list
