Thanks Charlie Burke for the reply.
I think I've got it; --The awning must be measured
from end cap to end cap (where it joins the side skin) and a shorter patio
awing is forbidden. I guess I can't buy a smaller awing and just throw it up
there. On a 31 foot A/S we're talking long
awning.
thanks again, Noah S.

I tried to locate an answer to the following
question on Tom Patersons Web site but couldn't find the
information. An A/S that
I'm looking at will need to have an awning installed (has an awning rail).
Are there specific lengths that an awning must be, to line up with ribs or
studs or whatever? What does the top and bottom awning arm brackets attach
to (just the exterior skin)? Thanks, Noah S.
The patio awnings must be attached at the points were the side skin is
riveted to the end segments. The measurement is made to the 1/4". The awning
would have to be custom ordered to length from any of the manufacturers.
Curved hardware from Zip Dee will fit coaches back into the Fifties. Carefree
and A&E hardware only goes back to 1969. The hardware is the part that
extends from the awning rail to the rub rail along the bottom. Window awnings
need to be attach on at least one end to a rib as indicated by the vertical
line of rivets on the side. Only Zip Dee makes curved hardware for window
awnings that will work on an Airstream.
