My 1992 Jayco is in need of a new awning.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  Any information will be very helpful and appreciated. :)

My first choice would be one from Carefree of Colorado http://www.carefreeofcolorado.com/ their Campout awning is the Cadillac of bag awnings. In comparision your Jayco awning (I've owned two, never again) would be a Yugo. LOL

I'll second the Carefree of Colorado awning.  Had one on my last Starcraft and loved it.  My new Coleman, by comparison, is a royal pain in the, uh, backside.  

Of course, to properly enjoy it, you have to have a popup where you can mount the leg supports on the camper -- my Starcraft had wood behind the outside panels, so it was no big deal.  My Coleman is just ABS-type siding - so screwing into that would be risky (and it flexes so much that I would not trust it to support the awning).
