    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 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!

  • @thesetruths1404
    @thesetruths1404 Месяц назад

    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.

  • @eldermark
    @eldermark 2 месяца назад

    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
      @FateUnbound  2 месяца назад

      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.
