Awning Replacement Fabric Width

We have a 2004 Rockwood with a 14' awning.

The fabric has delaminated badly and needs to be replaced this year before any outing with the TT. I will be doing it myself, and have been checking online for prices.

The best price so far is $154 + $19 shipping = $173 at rvawningsmart.com.

I measured the actual fabric width on the awning now and it is about 12'7".

The new awning fabric says it is about 13'2" wide.

The tube is about 13'7" long, so there is plenty of slot for the additional 7" of width.

Is there any problem with the extra width? I suspect the original awning fabric has shrunk a little from weathering because I use the awning de-flappers which attach to the rafters. Over the years the de-flappers had to be stretched more and more to reach the fabric. So it may be that the original fabric width was more than the current 12'7".

Any comments?

Call the vendor and ask how to measure, BEFORE you order!
