ShadePro RV Awning Fabric Replacement - Premium Vinyl Canopy 20 ft

In this review the ShadePro RV Awning Fabric Replacement is evaluated for RV owners who need an affordable, durable way to renew a worn canopy. The bottom line: this heavy 13 oz, 3-ply vinyl fabric is built to resist UV and water and includes sewn-in polyrods and install instructions so most DIYers can replace an awning without special tools. It suits owners of campers, trailers, and motorhomes who want a like-new look and dependable weather protection from sun, rain, and cold.

Key Features

• Premium vinyl construction: The 13 oz, 3-ply vinyl provides a heavyweight, weatherproof barrier that helps block sun and shed rain for reliable outdoor coverage.
• Cold-crack tested: Tested to -20F, the material maintains flexibility in cold conditions so the canopy performs in a range of climates.
• Reinforced stress points: Webbing at key stress points reduces the risk of tattering and tearing during regular use and travel.
• Universal fit: Designed to fit most awnings without metal covers and compatible with common systems such as Carefree, Dometic, Lippert, Carter, and Faulkner when measured correctly.
• Simple installation: Two sewn-in polyrods and clear step-by-step instructions make a do-it-yourself swap achievable without specialty tools.
• Attractive fade print: The dune fade pattern refreshes an RVs appearance while allowing some light transmission for a pleasant shaded area.

Who It's For

This fabric is best for recreational vehicle owners who have an existing awning without a metal cover and need a full fabric replacement that looks good and performs in varied weather. It is particularly suited to campers and motorhome owners who are comfortable doing a straightforward DIY installation using the included instructions and polyrods.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with awnings that require a custom-sized cover, or people who need an awning fabric with a built-in metal cassette or specialized mounting hardware; this product is the fabric replacement only and assumes compatibility with the existing roller and arms.
