ONE SPRING IN awning

[Boblou]

I was going down the road and heard a terrible crash and later found out that one of the springs in the awning had broken. Do they cost much to replace new, should i try and get a rebuilt or used one?
Are they difficult to replace? Need some advice from experience.

One of our rusted and broke, we replaced with 2 new ones. I think we ordered them from PPL motorhomes online. We were only a couple of weeks from leaving for our summer location and needed it fixed to be able to properly roll up the awning. Do watch the video on how to do it as it can be dangerous if not done correctly. Seems it cost us around $100

On google there are videos on this subject. It's not HARD per se, but just takes a bit of time.
