Awning cover
I recently purchased a Micro Minnie and love it! It is stored outside and I am concerned that the Arizona sun is going to eat thru the top of the awning. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to protect the awning?

- Got this at Lowes. Get the K channel. $5 for 10 feet! Take it off before you travel! Only good for storage.

- Some here, myself included, used a couple strips of 4" wide Eternabond tape for the top section of the awning. Mine's been that way for 5 or 6 years now and continues to work well.
- I use Awning Pro-Tech which can be left installed while traveling. Good to protect the fabric from low hanging tree branches. The cover does leave a sliver of fabric exposed to the sun, so instead some folks use a plastic rain gutter to completely cover the awning, however it must be removed when traveling.
I now use a trailer cover when stored at home so it’s fully protected. - Welcome to the Forum.
Maybe something like this.......Awning Protector..LINK
I have also read that folks have made their own our out of a length of PVC piping....much less expensive.
