Full awning replacement

Just brought home our new to us 2008 25F Jayco Jay Feather. It is in great condition! Only thing we need to do is get a new awning. The tracks are there and the wiring for it too. It was apparently out in a storm and it ripped it off.
I see many places to order the awning fabric but have no clue what we need for the rest of the hardware. Suggestions on what we need/ where to get it. We are pretty handy, is this something we can do ourselves? Thank you!

    They usually have a good price but picture does not readily tell me the length of the awning.
    I THINK IT IS A 19 foot eclipse by carefree


    We measured from the center tracks and it measured 19 - sorry the pic is upside down.. it is right side up where I pulled it.
    We will call them. Thank you.

    Was able to get the previous owner to take a pic of the sticker on the old roller.

    I'm guessing the replacement cost is going to be pretty high $1000 to $2500...

    Perhaps a four legged EZ-UP 10x10 patio awning from LOWES might work for you while you are working things out... They will cost less than $100... I see alot of folks using these up over the picnic tables in addition to their trailer awning...

    The wires are still attached to the track and the control is in the storage compartment. So it looks like we need the roller, the awning and the legs or whatever they would be called....
    We can message the previous owner - he still has the old roller I think

    Since everything is missing you need to order a new awning.
    Determine what length is the first step. The easy way is to measure the distance between the spots where the old awning was attached to the frame.

    If it was an electric awning is there a control for it still mounted inside the trailer?
    Does it have a brand name on it?
