I think that the bend on the awning arms is pretty
much the same on all the Zip-Dee's (could be wrong, too), and the mounting of
the bottom supports for the arms and the location of the awning rail is crucial
to how it lays against the rig when retracted.
In any event, it doesn't seem possible to 're-bend'
the upper arm to make it fit any better.
Might check out Zip-Dee's page at http://www.zipdeeinc.com and read their FAQ.
I'm sure they would respond to an email, as well.

Subject: Awning clearance
I'm in the process of installing a 14ft Zip Dee
awning that I procured from a burn out 81 Airstream. The curvature of the
81 is different from that of my 62 which necessitates me bending(changing
the angle) of the steel support arms. My problem is I don't know how much to
bend them to obtain the proper clearance between the Awing head(The cast
pieces with Zip dee on them) and the trailer. Can someone with a large awning
please measure the gap between the head and the trailer and head and the
bottom of the awning rail riveted to the trailer and supply me with this
information . Thanks!
