[QUOTE="richg99, post: 249971, member: 4376"] Speaking of "dual purpose"...it just might be that the extrusion is a "standard" one. Perhaps it is used by travel-trailer companies, and, at the same time, by boat companies. Flip it around and it is a boat- gunnel-railing..... the other way, a travel-trailer awning form. Who knows, perhaps the very same extrusion shows up in a half dozen other applications, too. If I were a manufacturer of anything, and I could find a usable, lower cost, "stock" extrusion that I could buy in bulk, I sure as heck wouldn't go making up my own molds for relatively short runs. Especially when the piece in question could do the job. Guess we will never really know. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
