I've been dreading having to replace my awning for the longest time. I purchased mine from ShadePro as you recommended and they did have the best prices. They also were very good about providing suggestions on how to replace it. I'm 62yrs old and I was able to replace mine almost, completely by myself. Thank you for this video.

The old awning is dried out and shriveled that's why it comes out easier. Tip to prevent or greatly delay the rolled-up awning from prematurely tearing up like this one (which was very minorl IMHO ): It usually deteriorates from Sun / UV damage. The Sun is a tough weapon. Get any water based latex paint and when the awning is rolled up against the RV, paint that area of it that is exposed to the Sun. Give it a couple of thin coats. White or a light color is better. Will probably have to do this every year or two to keep it from deteriorating prematurely. Doing something like 303 spray has to be done every 60 days, and still isn't as tough as the thicker latex paint sunblock.

Great video! On my RV and what I noticed on Grand Design RV’s. The white side is up and the black in facing the ground. I am guessing to reflect the sun rays and it doesn’t get as hot underneath. I see you top is a pattern so I guess you have it on right.

I did my awning back in the day on my old bounder RV. It was spring loaded and a much bigger drama.

@Innerconnectedfamily Ай бұрын

Fantastic video. Do you have the LED lights on the awning? How did that work out if you do?

@FateUnbound Ай бұрын

The LED lights are mounted to the wall of my trailer just below the awning fabric. The lights aren't a part of the awning fabric. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

What kind of screwbit did you use for those 3 screws? Not sure what I'm looking for at the hardware store. Awesome video BTW. Looking forward to replacing my awning!

@cstella2950 13 күн бұрын

Is there a spring to secure? I think I ha e the same power awning as you as I also have a springdale. It's about 50/50 that a spring is mentioned in the electric awnings but none are shown.

@eldermark 2 ай бұрын

Our 2013 keystone hideout has rivets around the cup instead of screws like yours. I was thinking of drilling them out to do the same repair and then rerivetting. Bummed they weren't screws.

@FateUnbound 2 ай бұрын

Wow, using rivets there is insane. They know you have to replace the fabric at some point and yet they use a permanent fastener. That's really frustrating.

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the awning screws in the gutter before removing the awning roll? Then you don't have to hold it while you're tackling those.

What about the spring they’re talking about when you take the awning off they say to plug the hole so those spring don’t spring out you didn’t do that why?

My awning does not have a spring since it is a motorized awning. I believe the springs are in manual awnings.

How old was your original awning? Mine is 2 years old and still going strong. I do wash it 2 times a year and apply 303 uv protection as well.

@FateUnbound 3 ай бұрын

My awning was 7 years old and used almost every day. We never washed it or applied any protectant, that probably would have really helped it haha

@@FateUnbound That’s pretty good then. Sun and dirt ruin stuff quick. Not gonna lie, your new awning looks super heavy duty compared to the stock Lippert crap.
