  • Gorilla tape comes in white, I've bought it at Menards and it sticks well to the outside of the awning. Looks like it's available here

  • The Gorilla tape appears to be the answer. Wish it came in white or silver.
  • Camreal, thanks. I saw Zip system on Amazon. It says "Withstands up to 180 days of direct UV exposure" . I suggest it won't last for more than 1 year. Are you using it to project the awning (when parked) or does it stick to your awning fabric? thanks

    I used ZIP system tape over 5 yrs ago and it still working great. Its a black rubber tape that once it is on it wont come off and is water proof. Contractors use it for sealing windows. I used it to repair the awning edges at the top. Sun had cracked the material. I use it on both sides of the material . Can be had from
    Amazon for less that $30 for 20 ft roll 3 3/4 in wide.

  • I assume you are talking about protecting the awning from the sun while is is rolled up.

    There are commercial protectors on Amazon, Ebay, RV stores, etc..
    You can make a DIY protector from plastic rain gutter. Search Youtube for 'RV Awning Protector', there should be several videos available.

    I'm sure the Gorila Tape or maybe a strip of Eternabond will work well if you don't to be installing/removing an awning cover.
