Best place to buy A&E awning tube with fabric?

Time to replace; looking for the best place to buy an 18ft A&E awning tube with fabric.
Thanks

  • I also found PPL Motorhomes had best prices on A&E Awnings when I replaced mine last spring. Was as cheap as my repair shop could get it. Shipping was $120 for a complete 12' awning including arms. I would guess the 18' tube w/fabric would be as expensive, possibly more to ship.

    Question is, would the complete tube/fabric with shipping & installation be comparable to fabric only with shipping & installation??
  • I waited until Glamping World had a sale. 15' Dometic installed for $49 plus fabric. Don't remember the cost of the fabric, but it was competitive.
  • The shipping for a roller tube will be very expensive. Unless it is bent, just replace the fabric.
  • PPL Motorhomes have pretty good prices. They sell all kinds of RV parts. Give them a google and call them. They are very helpful.

    Thanks!

    I got A&E factory fabric from Dyers for a little over 200.00 shipped. It is an easy project aith a couple of helpers
  • Was thinking maybe buy a tube with the fabric. Camping world wants $1100+...and a local RV dealer wants 6hrs @ $125 an hr + material to replace the fabric.
    So looks like a good spring project replacing the fabric.
  • Just avoid the super cheap, $120 fabric replacements on fleabay. I have one and the light and heat goes right through it.
    It's only two years old and I will be replacing it this spring.
  • eBay was the cheapest place for me to get parts when I boogered up mine
