Awning fabric separated at seam

[campsmoke]

The awning on our class A coach has separated at the seam near the top of the coach. The tear/separation is about 3.5 inches in length. Has anyone else had this situation and if so how did they repair it?

The awning topper on our living room slide did the exact same thing, except ours is a at least 3 feet that separated. We only found out about it when we had a flood inside. We're taking it in today to Lazy Days to have the topper replaced. Wish us luck. It's a big slide and we're not going to try to do it ourselves.

Awning tape will work and keep it from ripping. Eventually you will need to replace the awning fabric.

Our awning is 6 months / 3100 miles old and is also tearing. Bought it on Amazon and was supposed to be a Lippert, but Lippert says its not due to the roller tube being the wrong color and no ID tag. I am working with Amazon to see if they will replace the fabric part.

Pretty common spot for them to tear. You can do a temporary repair with awning tape but plan on replacing the awning pretty soon. FYI, it is a do it yourself replacement with two people for under $200.

I'm assuming your awning has some age on it, of course.
