Slight tear on awning

Question

Hi,I have an electric awning on my TT which is about 5 months old.  I never leave it extended while I'm away and am careful to retract when the wind blows.I noticed this morning a slight tear, where the awning is sewn on, at the back of the awning on the right edge.  Is there some kind of magic tape sold for RV's that I can use to fix this - or am I looking at a warranty repair if they'll cover it?  thanks

Yes, try for the warranty. It shouldn't have a tear after only 5 months. But, yes, they do have clear tape for RV repairs. Good luck

Had the exact same issue and used Gorilla Tape to make the on the spot repair. It has lasted so well I never felt the need to do anything further. I did place the tape on both sides of the tear, sandwiching the awning material between them. Everybody should have some Gorilla tape in their locker, this stuff is amazing!
