Vinyl Awning Repair Tape Which one works best?
Hi all, We have a small tear in our vinyl awning, AE, what is the best repair tape for vinyl awnings? Reviews on Amazon are a mixed bag.

I can tell you that I had poor results from the Camco tape. I took the awning off, cleaned it and applied tape to both sides. It failed within 2 days. I then used gorilla tape and although it looked awful, it held until I sold the trailer.
Agreed. That clear awning repair tape that is sold in most RV stores isn't worth a darn. Tried it myself and the results were pretty much the same as OhhWell. Duct tape worked much better. For what it's worth, duct tape is now available in a wide variety of colors. Check around online. You might be able to find one that is at least similar in color to your awning so that it won't look so bad. That is, depending upon the extent of the damaged portion. You might also check with your local home supply store, Lowe's or Home Depot. Gorilla Tape is excellent, but I believe that it only comes in black.
