How to repair torn RV covers
Has anyone out here repaired a torn RV cover? I have a one year old Elements RV cover and found a tear L shaped 24" by 24" and because it is almost new would hope I can patch it and get a few more years out of it Thanks

This works. Done it.
Another vote for awning repair tape.
That stuff is amazing. It's very strong, water proof and clear so it doesn't show much.- I needed a quick repair today. It wasn't split all the way through but partly. I guess it's a two layer awning. The only thing I had on hand was eternabond so I put it on both sides. It's white so it blends in.
- I used gorilla tape on one side, put gorilla glue on the other side and then taped that side with gorilla tape. Has lasted over 4 years so far.
- Wow thanks so much guys for all the posts on ways to fix our covers.
- On small cuts/tears I use eternabond -- one piece inside surface and then a piece on the outside -- after three years of use I have four such repairs, the longest about 14 inches and they are super.

That's what I used 2 years ago
Adco has adhesive repair patches available for their various fabrics.- I used gorilla glue on one a few years ago, it held as long as I had it, then gave it to my son, I never heard him say it let go.
- We use 6" wide awning repair tape.

I have used this to repair torn fabric. I don't see ant reason why it wouldn't work with that.

now I got to thinking I repaired an awning with Tearmender.
