Got to replace our awning canvas

[WaltBennett]

Ours is literally beginning to fall apart. While white duct tape will hold it together for a bit, a new one is really what's needed. Anyone used these folk's canvas? https://www.rvawningsmart.com/

When I read about what you have to do to replace a awning I just went to my rv dealer and had them do it. Total job was around $600 including fabric.

Well, the place I linked to has the fabric for $145. I've replaced them before and I don't think $450 is anywhere reasonable for labor.

Agree. I helped a neighbor replace his 18 foot awing, vinyl, not canvas, took us less than an hour to slide the old awning out, slide the new awning in, and do a minor tension adjustment.

The general and i have replaced 2 fabrics , new install of 6 slide toppers , one 18' new complete awning install, not a big job! Wish i could get 600. A piece to do them, i could stay retired!

A few videos just in case you decide it is a DIY with friends.

I ordered a replacement fabric from eBay seller for $139.00. My son and I installed it in about 2 hours. Very happy with it. Very good replacement fabric for the $. Brand is "Sun Wave". If you install yourself BE VERY CAREFUL of the internal spring. Watch install movies on You Tube and do as they do!
