We went with the Penquin II A/C because of there being a built in drain line. The Atwood runs down the outside of the trailer and leaves streaks. We also went with the storage box rather than the microwave and made a great looking bar. We had no wood finishes in ours so we had them mail us the door and we had a cabinet shop paint it white like the fiberglass. We have removed the hanging bar in the closet as we feel that is a real waste of space. Who needs to “hang” camping clothes. We bought a shelf unit to hold a mini ice maker, toaster oven, drinking water and other beverages. Also took a back of the door shoe bag and trimmed it up to fit the closet door for small items. We picked up 12/19, love it! Have fun...
Hmm that's strange. Maybe a bad batch from Carefree? Here's their web page that shows the fabrics that I believe are Oliver's standard choices:

Edit: let me just link the photo too. Edit2: The forum appears to be shrinking the image. On their actual webpage the resolution is higher and you can see the stripes easier.
You can see the thin red lines between each color band for each of the fabric choices.
If your awning differs significantly from that I'd say the problem is with Carefree's manufacturing. Regardless, I hope Oliver is able to get you squared away to your satisfaction.
Just got to love it when someone says,"Then it started to snow, but we only expect six to eight inches." Guess one has to be tough to live up there.

When New Orleans was one degree colder this morning than Orr's Island, in Casco Bay, Maine this morning I had mixed feelings. One was those poor people, the other was better them than us. Then the guilt kicked in, at least we are equipped to deal with it. Then it started to snow, but we only expect six to eight inches. Think Spring...
I’ll chip in here. I hated Fall Hollow, it is simply gross that they have holes in the ground to hook up your fresh water, near the sewer pipes. Fresh water taps should always be elevated on risers well away from the dump pipes so that spilled sewage cannot possibe seep into them. I honestly don’t understand how such a gross code violation could be permitted to exist. From their appearance they have been like this for a very long time.
There are a number of wonderful State Parks in the area. Henry Horton east of Columbia is very nice. I definitely recommend that you have your trailer delivered in 100% functional condition. You can test the systems locally over a few days to make sure they all work, and you can get stuff fixed before heading home. They or you can winterize it if you feel it to be necessary.
