Awning Replacement

[qbert10]

So I have a 2009 Jayco that needs to have the awning replaced. I guess from sitting in the sun over the past several years the area closest to the trailer itself has dried out and when I started cleaning it, the material tore. It's still usable after a quick fix with a rubber roof patch. (Just something to keep the water from running through) However, it will need to be fixed. Just need a ball park idea as to cost. Would even try it myself if it is a DYI project.

On top of this, can one of them awning cover be added relatively easily? Think if it was cover from the sun it might last a little longer.

Anyway, that in advance for any info you can provide.

Just like I won't touch garage door springs, I won't mess with awning springs. 🙂 Put the liability/risk on someone else launching a tool across the shop, or at their head.

I have a 2006 Montana with a 14' awning . A quote from CW was 530.00 for installing new fabric. I have talked to people who have done the replacement
them self's ( a two person job ) and a person who tried and wound up having
it done by CW. I priced just the fabric and it was 175.00 on the internet. I
have not done anything about mine as yet. It didn't seem that bad after the
CW quote.

It's a relatively easy DIY. You can find videos on YouTube.

Everything you need can be ordered from a local RV supply store or on line.

One caution the springs in the tube are under a lot of torque so be sure to pay attention on how to handle the springs and winding them (if needed)once the fabric is replaced.

It can be done with two people but three works better.
