Vinyl awning fabric shot
My A&E awaning vinyl is shot. I want to replace it with acrylic. Local dealer says it can't be done. Has anyone done this?

Dr Quick, Thanks. Interestingly, two local RV dealers want $230 and $260 labor to replace the awning if you buy if from them. Camping World will do it for $39 if you buy it from them and it would cost me a tank of fuel getting it there and back. The problem with doing it myself is finding the helpers.
Hank, I read in the post you mentioned that someone used rubber roof paint for a temporary repair. I started applying that to the first foot about 5 years ago and I am sure I extended the service life of my awning by at least that much. It sealed the exposed webbing between the layers from deterioration. I would suggest anyone start applying several coats of the product at the first sign of trouble.
