Florida's intense UV environment is particularly hard on RV awning fabric. What takes 8 to 10 years to fade in a Northern climate can look washed out and weakened in 4 to 5 years in Central Florida sun. Faded fabric is also brittle fabric - it tears more easily in wind and loses its waterproofing properties as the coating degrades.

We supply awning fabric in standard acrylic materials in both solid colors and striped patterns. The most common awning sizes for travel trailers and motorhomes in the 15 to 20 foot range are in-stock in the most popular colors. Custom or unusual sizes require a 5 to 7 business day lead time.

Awning Fabric Replacement Process

Measure the awning roller tube length to determine fabric size needed
Confirm rail style (A&E style, straight rail, or box cassette) for proper fabric selection
Extend awning and remove old fabric from roller tube and rail
Install new fabric - thread into roller tube groove and secure both ends
Adjust fabric tension and test full extension and retraction
Total time: 2 to 4 hours depending on awning size and style

When to Replace vs Repair

A small tear or hole at the edge of the awning can often be repaired with awning patch material, which is less expensive than full replacement. A tear that extends into the main body of the fabric, widespread UV degradation affecting the full fabric, or multiple tears generally warrant replacement. We assess on-site and give you both options where applicable.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does new RV awning fabric last in Florida?

Quality acrylic awning fabric lasts 5 to 8 years in Central Florida's UV environment. UV-resistant fabrics from Carefree and Sunbrella last on the longer end of that range. Polyester fabric fades and degrades faster.

Can I choose a different color or pattern when replacing my awning?

Yes. Replacement fabric is available in many standard colors and striped patterns. As long as the fabric width and rail type match your awning system, the color and pattern are your choice.

My awning fabric is moldy from sitting folded wet - can it be cleaned?

Mild mold on acrylic awning fabric can often be cleaned with a diluted bleach solution. Severe mold that has stained the fabric or compromised the waterproof coating should be replaced. Prevention: always allow the awning to dry fully before retracting.

Is awning fabric replacement hard to DIY?

It's doable but the fabric tensioning is tricky. Too loose and the awning billows in the breeze. Too tight and it won't roll properly. Most RV owners who try DIY awning fabric replacement end up calling us to adjust the tension anyway.
