Shade Pro RV Awning Fabric Replacement | Durable Premium Grade Vinyl (21' [Fabric 20' 2"], Burgundy Fade) Camper Shade Awning Canopy

Perfect fit, easy to install

The original awning was way past replacement time. I had this book marked. So, I ordered it. Fast shipping and quality item. Just installed this a couple of days ago. My wife and I did the work. The awning was in a nice box and rolled up in a plastic cover. We have an electric awning. I rolled the old one all the way out. Used ratchet straps to pull the awning tube back towards the camper a bit to take the pressure off. Cut off the old awning and installed the new one. I placed a large tarp on the ground to roll out the new awning on it. This all took about an hour and a half to install. Pulling the new one into the tracks a little at a time. I cleaned the track and sprayed dry lubricant into the track. Let it dry. The new awning went in perfectly. You just have to work it a little at a time. My wife fed the awning into the track, and I pulled it from the other end. We had 4 ladders out to do this. Perfect fit. It looks really great!! I did not remove the end cap of the roller tube. Instead, I drilled two holes into the end cap. Carefully lining up to the track. I used a Dremel to smooth all the surfaces and flare them a bit. The top track I just opened the track up a bit and smoothed that out also. I ground down all the corners of the frame and filed them smooth. They were sharp edges so this was important. You can see that in the included pictures. It all worked out perfectly. Just take your time.

We got this to replace our awning that had a good sized tear in it that we had repaired. Surprisingly the repair tape had held so far, but with a long trip coming up, we didn't want to tempt fate. We ordered this as a replacement and after watching a couple vids on how to do it with the method where you remove the roller, got to work. All in all, it took my wife and I about 1.5 hours to do. We did learn a few things though that I hope may help someone else. These are in no way a reflection of the product. The replacement awning was perfect. Color is great, fabric is great, and honestly, seemed to be better made than the original we took off. The issues we had with install were minor, but of our own doing. First of all, if you do this method where you unwind tension with vice grips and remove a cap be sure to use proper length rivets when you reinstall the cap. Especially at the hole that is nearest the lever for rolling down and up. If you use too long of a rivet here, it wont allow you to flip the lever all the way and wont allow you to roll up all the way. Use a shorter rivet in this hole. Also, if you have to take the awning back down to re-do something as we had to do with drilling out and replacing that rivet, be certain you put a pin of some sort back in the opposite side. We took it out to test and forgot. When we pulled the awning back out, the tension unwound on that side. Not a huge deal, just had to rewind it the same amount of turns as we did on the other side and slide a pin in. Also, as many videos have said, USE SILICONE SPRAY!!! This was huge. Spray both the upper track as well as the tracks on the roller bar. Made sliding in the new beads so much easier. On our application I was kinda bewildered it went in so easy. Especially since the bead ends on the new awning are actually thicker than the original. Bottom line, this is well worth it and any capable DIY'er should be able to do it with an extra set of hands. if you try to do it on your own, you will almost certainly end up throwing tools and cussing at the job. Do yourself a favor, swallow your pride, and have someone ready to help.

Nice solid replacement fabric. Would give 5 stars, but wrinkles still haven’t smoothed out from packing. Other than that. Happy with purchase.

Easy to install with a freins.

Very happy with the product. Luckily we had friends that came over to help us install it. It is a bit tricky. Lucky for us they had recently installed their own replacement fabric with their friends. It took 4 of us to do it but it is installed now and we have used it on our recent camping trip and we really like it.

Perfect for our trailer. We measured it according to the instructions.... It took us 2 hours to remove and install.
