$1300 sounds reasonable but check around first. We just paid $730 to replace awning fabric alone. Old 18 foot awning caught air, inflated, unrolled and got ripped away before we could stop in a strong headwind at highway speed. We had a $50 awning lock device installed along with the new fabric to prevent such problems in the future. Our old awning was sun-damaged anyway after 8 years of Socal sun, parked in the driveway. Wouldn't feel like camping without an awning. The awning designs where everthing folds into a weather proof aluminum box are nice but expensive.
