Replacement Awning Fabric
The Carefree awning fabric on our 2011 Jayco fifth wheel lasted about 5 years. I replaced the fabric with new material from rvawningsmart. It lasted about 5 years as well. Now I need new replacemen...

I'm getting ready to replace my 18 year old awning today. It lasted that long because I ran two strips of Eternabond along the top section.
How wide a roll did you use? 4", 6" wide or wider? Two strips = how may inches covered?
Thanks

I used two 4" strips for a total of 8". It covered the entire top half of the awning when rolled up.
I don't know much about awnings, especially newer ones. On mine, I was able to lay the awning flat against the side of the trailer by putting the legs under the trailer. That made it easy to attach the Eternabond.
I should note that the Eternabond eventually looked rather wrinkly but staid securely attached to the awning. Not pretty but very effective.
