Coleman Faulkner awning parts

I own a 1996 Jayco 5th wheel. When we bought it found out the awning fabric was ripped and the spring tensioner are broke. The brand unfortunately is Coleman Faulkner and parts are scarce. So just wondering if anyone knows if any other brand has parts that will work with this kind? The fabric I am not worried about because that it universal. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I'm starting to regret selling my Hornet travel trailer I had:(. Thank you Sandy

    If it is the Faulkner with the black cast end pieces, I have used the spring from an A&E 8300 Sunchaser to repair these- I used only the spring itself, and had to do a bit of fabricating (nothing serious at all though). I wish I had taken pictures.

      I am having to replace my heads on my Coleman Faulkner UltraMax Series.  Any idea where to find A&E 8300 Sunchaser parts that would work, and what has to be done to them to retrofit?  Thanks.

    Faulkner hardware is non existent. Fabrics for all awnings are universal. You can use almost any brand replacement fabric. But, the fact remains, IF you need fabric, you have a 20 year old awing, why waste money on a discontinued product? If the awing needs repaired, just replace with a Dometic or Carefree. No other hardware parts will work with your Faulkner. Doug

      because your looking at 500ish cdn to fix it with other brands tensioners and a new fabric off amazon compared to 2500 - 3000 to buy a new one (Cdn pricing) 

      awning tubes are pretty standard so there is a very good chance as some one already posted, that other brands tensioners will fit. 

       

      now this is assuming you can do the work also, if you have to pay some one to doit then depending on that it very well might be better off just buying a new one.

        Man I haven't seen Doug on here in years. He had awesome insight and solutions. He left when the format switched. Shame, he really added a lot to the forum.
