Slight tear on awning

[dvitale300]

Hi,

I have an electric awning on my TT which is about 5 months old. I never leave it extended while I'm away and am careful to retract when the wind blows.

I noticed this morning a slight tear, where the awning is sewn on, at the back of the awning on the right edge. Is there some kind of magic tape sold for RV's that I can use to fix this - or am I looking at a warranty repair if they'll cover it? thanks

Thanks Desert Captain - bought some Gorilla Tape - is it strong. Patched the tear and all is well. Will get it fixed under warranty next time I go in for repair (my repair shop is 50 miles away in another town).

Had the exact same issue and used Gorilla Tape to make the on the spot repair. It has lasted so well I never felt the need to do anything further. I did place the tape on both sides of the tear, sandwiching the awning material between them. Everybody should have some Gorilla tape in their locker, this stuff is amazing!

:C

Thanks - I'll pick up some tape until I can get it in for repair

Yes, try for the warranty. It shouldn't have a tear after only 5 months. But, yes, they do have clear tape for RV repairs. Good luck
