Patch or replace? The decision, in my opinion, mostly depends on the location of the defect. The highest stress places on awning material are at the edges, especially where the awning joins the RV side wall or the roller. If the defect is at or adjacent to these locations - I recommend replacement. If in a lower stress location, almost any of the adhesive tape products designed for awning repair will work.
I managed to delay awning material replacement for an entire season for a tear at the edge next to the RV side wall. I slipped a Camco plastic light hanger into the awning track and and applied Gorilla Duct Tape that not only covered the tear on both sides of the material, but also wrapped around the light hanger. The light hanger acted like a crutch to absorb some of the stress. But ultimately, I installed new awning material.
