Carefree awning fabric

Where have you found to be the best place to buy replacement fabric for Carefree slide toppers? Thanks!
  • I would recommend Tough Top Awnings. http://toughtopawnings.com/

    I did research on replacement for Dometic, and another Company and found that the Tough Top Awnings were heavier, than original, vinyl and easier to clean and less costs. Some install choose to DYI, but I chose to have Precision Painting, where I was having some other service done handle the installation. I have had them for two years and very pleased, easy to clean, vs. the acrylic O.E. slide Toppers and a thicker material. I dealt with

    I checked with these folks but found two problems. First, they only have vinyl material, not the acrylic. I think the acrylic should last much longer without cracking. Secondly, they don't make the slide topper awnings with the scalloped valance on the bottom.

    Thanks anyway! :B

  • I called a bunch of dealers. So far, RVUpgrades.com has the best price. Still waiting for more prices. Thanks!
