Cleaning the awning
Just so everyone knows, I ABSOLUTELY hate doing this chore. However, it does make the beast look even better!

Same here...sprayer with bleach and Dawn dish soap....spray on underneath...roll up for about 20-30 minutes....unroll and rinse off.
This is what Dometic recommends in the manual:
Mildew does not form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt and grime. Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a mixture of 1/4 cup of dish soap and 1/4 cup of bleach mixed with 5 gallons of warm water. Liberally slosh the mixture on the top of the fabric and roll the awning up for 5 minutes. This will apply the mixture to the bottom as well. Roll it back out and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary.
Works great!
