Alternate Method of Replacing Awning Fabric?

14 years old. I am a professional RV Tech(37 years). I hope you have someone Video your replacement. While you will be able to do it, I think a novice first time Awning Fabric replacement will yield a good video. 14 years old and I doubt you have any idea how the old fabric/rope insert will be stuck to both the tube insert and the Awning rail on the sidewall. You will need 3 people to do the job. 2 can do it. 1 cannot. 3 makes it a LOT easier. I can remove an awning like your model in about 10 minutes. Once on the ground it takes just about 30 minutes tops to replace the fabric. Reinstall the awning(10 minutes) and 5 minutes for any adjustment if needed. Of course I need the extra 2 men to just pull it off and reinstall. Have you remembered to remove either the front or rear mount bracket on the arms to get the awning rail rope out? Most awnings like yours the upper wall mount brackets hinder the slide out of the awning fabric. Also, 14 years old. I would verify the TYPE Cam lock you have. Older Dometic(A&E) awnings have a knurled lock cam that was discontinued. They started using a gear lock system about 10 years ago. The Knurled lock wears out. If at my shop and you had the knurled Front torsion lock cam I would advise to replace the front Torsion lock spring assbly with the updated lock system. Which adds no labor but just the part cost, since I take the Front torsion and rear torsion off anyway. Doug
