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

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!

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

Unless there is something wrong with the tube, just replace the fabric.
