Awning$$$?

So my awning has seen better days and looking to replace. What is price range is normal? Also thinking of doing a custom awning. Does this work need to go through dealer or can a qualified auto shop do this work? Do not want to pay arm and leg. Thanks.

How wide is it?


It came on a 24' Itasca Spirit.
It will be spring before I can get to it.

It's not a bad job to do yourself if you have the help of a couple of people. Avoid the super cheapo replacment awnings on fleabay. They let a lot of sun and heat through.

You can replace the fabric yourself. Purchase the generic exact replacement fabric from PPL Motorhomes, then go to Youtube. There are many videos on how to do it.

I had the fabric replaced on our 2004 Tioga by a mobile RV repair guy and his wife. He ordered the same color, etc., as original, and the price installed was reasonable, can't remember how much. Get estimates, prices may vary a lot..
