My 07 Georgetown needs to have both the slide awning fabrics replaced. Both Slide awnings are around 14ft and sun rotted and falling apart. Is this a dealer job or something a DIYer can do? Where do you order the fabric and what's a ballpark price of what is going to cost to replace it. Thanks.

www.shadepro.net/category/Replacement_Slideout_Canopies.htmlTry these guys. I replaced one of my longest ones on our Phaeton with the acrylic fabric. Nice material, cost less than $250 and wasn't hard to do, especially if the old one is still in place. Go on their web site. You can call them as well to get sample material.

I would estimate 500 each, but you can do better by pulling one slide right out and reading the label on the very first wrap. Take a close up picture with your camera of the label, and then look up the replacement.I did a 6 foot unit by myself. You really need two people on two tall ladders or alongside a wall or platform (best option) as once you start to put it in, you can't stop. Study the U-tube videos to see how to do it.Lot's of spring pressure there, but OK if done properly. I also replaced a garage door spring in my house.

Absolutely best replacement topper material is available from Stone Vos in Brooksville, FL.Many folks also recommend Tough Tops for slide topper replacement. Regardless of where you get the material, it is not hard to R & R. As noted, you need a couple of good ladders and a second person if the toppers are long. There are a number of You Tube videos showing the process.

I have changed several slide toppers by myself. It's about an hour long job as long as you understand how the mechanism works and the precautions necessary. My wife goes to the fabric store and buys some canvas fabric, sews it up and on it goes. About $20.

A friend removed the fabric from his toppers, took them to a shop that had sunbrella fabric and had them duplicated. He then installed the new ones. Said he saved a lot of money over typical toppers

We purchased new slide toppers from "Tough Top Awnings" and used the YouTube videos from RV Geeks. The slide toppers were heavier than the original ones and they work very well.

X2 on Stone Vos. Chris is the owner and is a fellow coach owner. He is really a perfectionist and only uses the best fabric and thread. Call him with your topper measurements & he will give you a price.
