TT Awning Replacement
Hello all. I am new to this forum, and plan on using it very actively for great information. I am glad to see that there is a very large group of people that use it regularly so I always know information will be current.
I have a question regarding my travel Trailer awning. I just received a 2003 Komfort 25TBS from my parents. They no longer found themselves using it, so they handed it down to my wife and I. It needed a little work. I replaced the tail lights, sealed up a couple areas on the exterior side walls and repaired the fridge myself. It still needs the roof sealed and painted, but living in Washington State it is hard to do right now. I need to wait for the weather to warm up.
But also living in Washington State, I a working awning is a MUST. The one that was on it was very weather damaged. I have already cut it away from the awning frame and have the frame still installed on the trailer. I contacted my local RV Service Shop and was quoted $350-$500 plus $125 an hour to install and to expect it be a 2 hour job. I am not worried about the install as I can do this myself. I am more curious about the price. To me, the price seems a little steep compared to fabrics I have found online.
What do you all think of that price quoted? Also, where is a good place to go to purchase fabric online? And, what is a standard type of fabric? I saw there are multiple types.
Thank you all!
