Need new awning canvas
My otherwise good awning needs new canvas. What has been everyones' experience, cost, locating folks to do it? Our is about 16".

- I had our trusty mobile RV repair guy order and replace original awning fabric after our awning unfurled underway and was shredded. His price was much better than an RV shop quoted us in Santa Maria. Shop around. Also had service guy install a $50 awning lock device to prevent a recurrance.
http://awninglock.com/model.shtml - Is it really canvas?
- I replaced my slide-out cover with the help of my DW. I ordered the fabric from http://www.toughtopawnings.com/ tough top awnings. Reasonable price, made to my measurements, quick shipping. Their web site also has complete video and step by step instructions.
- I purchase my OEM awning from Makarios RV. Great price with free shipping.
Another place to buy Awning material is Shade Pro. Their prices and quality of material is very good. - I just had our local RV dealer replace our entire awning and previous to that the material for our slide cover.
- I just watched HOW TO: REPLACE AN RV PATIO AWNING and slide out fabric replacement. Looks real straight forward. Randu

It looks straight forward. I'll Gorilla tape the top where the pin holes are. When that fails, new canvas time. Thanks.
I don't know what brand you have, but yeah, it's mostly that. Watch the videos. You will have to deal with the take up spring but all in all, not real tough.

I'm quite handy. Is it as simple as ordering the correct size then sliding it into the "c" channels?
How handy are you and your friends? There are videos on youtube showing how to do it yourself. It looks awkward, but not very hard.- How handy are you and your friends? There are videos on youtube showing how to do it yourself. It looks awkward, but not very hard.
