awning price

i need to replace my 21 foot awning fabric only

what can I expect to pay for this if someone like camping world or a dealer does it thanks
  • I have done this job 2 times with my son helping (50 years old). This company has I think the the best price. quality and service.

    Just a matter of sliding the old fabric off the grooves, then sliding the new one on.


    Kinda sorta, ....just don't try it by yourself as Skillet said. Minimum 2 man job, 3 is better. Been there done that. Ideal is a person holding the awning arms on each side and you work the awning in the groove. Check youtube, lots of good videos on the subject. A few shortcuts too. Definitely a trick to it, find those tricks.


    We checked out you tube and did my BIL's ourselves . .Most of the job was 1-2 man job... we found that using 3 people when putting the new fabric back in the rail on the side of the camper works the best.. 1 per each arm, and one on the roof guiding the fabric in the slot..

    The rest of the job was a breeze..


    And lots of soapy water.

  • Check and see if Glamping World has a sale on installation. They charged me $49 for install and about $250 for 15' Dometic awning fabric. If I bought the fabric, it was almost the same.
  • I just got a price for replacing the 24 foot awning fabric on my trailer. Top quality fabric complete was just under 700.00.
    I will probably let them do it I have no friends.

  • I bought mine HERE Took 2 people and about 2 hours. Fabric is heavier than OEM and I am very pleased with my results.

  • tough top awning is a cheaper way to go. the material is better than OEM and they have videos on you tube to show you how to do it. or you can go to rv geeks on you tube to see how they did it.
