SunWave- RV Awning Fabric Replacement | RV Electric Awning Fabric Replacement | Premium Vinyl RV Canopy | Awning Replacement (18', Brown Strip)

Very good quality also was a perfect fit with all you need to install with it meaning with a roller to install valance cord

I bought this because I really wanted to replace my old RV awning. Mine was in pretty terrible condition and I'm not sure why I didn't replace it sooner. The shop I went to made it like it was going to be crazy expensive to do, so I figured I'd try to do it on my own. All things considered - it's a pretty good price for the awning. They do include a instructions sheet which does help out, but I'd recommend looking up a few Youtube videos to get the idea of what you'll be doing in general. I'd also say it's a 3 person job for sure. And like other reviews, WD-40 in the channel that the awning slides in will help a ton. And a ton of patience, we spent a good chunk of the day setting this up and hit a few setback along the way (mostly due to how dirty the channel was in my instance). Once done, it looks great. ItSide note: I will mention that Amazon suggests the replacement pullstrap and the fabric installation tool to go along with it. In my instance these both came in the box I got from Sunwave. Not sure if it was just me but you may not need these recommendations. But the extra fabric installation tool would come in handy for sure.

Just installed, went up just like the instructional videos you can find on YouTube show. Highly suggest having three people to install, makes it so much easier. It feels sturdy enough and the maroon fading color pattern matches my camper very well. We will see how it holds up to a few years of sun

The media could not be loaded. This awning was significantly less expensive than some of the others available. I read reviews and had my expectations set accordingly. I pulled the trigger, and it arrived in a couple days. I have a 19' solera awning on my 30' travel trailer. My orginal awning had 3 or 4 inches of space at either end between the edge of the awning and the end cap. The new awning goes right to the cap. I'm not complaining, but I wasn't expecting it to be that much wider than the original. The material is thinner than the original and the seams and finished drip edge are not quite as nice, but it is sufficient. I looked at a few install videos on youtube and read the included instructions. I removed the old awning myself and recruited my wife to help me attach it to the roller. I then had my wife and kids help hold it while I feed it onto the trailer. It took about two hours to replace, but I could probably do it again in less than an hour now that I know how to do it. I don't know if this will last as long as the original, but at this price I could afford to replace it every few years. My only concern is that the awning is actually made from two pieces sewn together. There is a seam that runs the length of the awning joining the color/fade section with a white (2') section which then attaches to your camper. I'm nervious that the seam will not hold over time, but I guess we will see. It doesn't look bad and is not all that noticable, but I didn't notice it mentioned in the listing before I purchased. Again, this is not a bad looking awning, but definitely a budget-friendly selection.

Just finished installing the 18’ awning I purchased last year. It came nicely rolled and coiled, and was left in the box until now. Seems pretty well made and looks good. I watched a couple of “How to change RV Awning” videos on YouTube and was able to it install myself with some help from a couple of friends for the reassembly. Hopefully it will give me years of service!Installation Note: The awning came with a pre-sewn in cord for the roller valance anchor and for the RV anchor, however the roller main anchor cord comes separate, and as 2 pieces, so you can feed it in from each end. You have to slide the valance anchor in the track all the way, then fold the awning material into the second anchor channel, then tread the cord in from the end to secure the material in the channel. It’s a tight fit until you figure out a solution. I highly recommend purchasing the “Awning Fabric Installation Tool from SunWave”. I was able to do it using a window screen installation roller, but I think the Awning Fabric Installation tool maybe be a little wider and have more depth to it, which would have been much nicer than the screen roller. Basically, you run the roller down the channel forcing the material into the groove, then feed the cord through. It help to use some silicone spay lube, and occasionally roll down the length of the cord and the channel as you go, it made it much easier for me! Other than that, the new fabric went on well, and fits perfectly.
