Where to find used window awnings (was Foretravel service centers in Nac)

I would like to contact the various Foretravel service centers in Nacogdoches (I understand there are several) to see if they have a bunch of window awnings that they have removed from Foretravels when they were repainted or just for asthetic reasons.
I am looking for awnings that are in good fabric and hardware condition. 
I do not care if the awnings are in all different colors, as any color will suit me just fine.  I like variety.
Oh, and I want them installed when I get there.
I am hoping some of you might point me in the right direction.

Jon, we have been awning shopping in NAC at least twice per year since 2010 at Foretravel, MOT, Xtreme and Encore. Not much available. You will probably not find any window awnings. You will probably find several patio awnings, no hardware, at Foretravel, some brand new and some used in good shape at very attractive prices. Contact Mike Grimes in Foretravel parts.

We are still looking for an 18' patio awning with all of the hardware for our coach so if you find an extra one, let me know. The previous owner had our patio awning removed.

Kent, Jon.
FYIW my brother had a new 18' Zip Dee patio awning with screen room installed on his Barth at Zip Dee in Elk Grove. He said it cost right at $1,500 with tax and labor. Not bad when you think about the used ones I have seen in the bone yards are in the $700-$800 area (asking) and you still have to install it. Plus his was with a screen room. I would bet James at Xtreme  would be very competitive as he is a Zip Dee dealer.

Kent, I have a complete zipdee patio awning, not sure if it is 18 ft. I am at the rally in Brunswick, Ga until Sunday. I live in Riverview Fl. When I get home I can measure it. It has all the hardware.
