I ripped my awning!

[jbdbsb]

Hey all.
Crap, I put a small tear in my awning . I was backing it into the side yard and caught the edge of the flippin' rain gutter. It's about a 6 inch tear. Yes the awning was rolled up, so it's on the outside/top near the roof attachment.
So, how can I mend it?
Help me people!

Hi Jeff,

I feel your pain. I ripped the awning on my brand new never-used camper last year while driving through a vaulted underpass in rural Pennsylvania.

Anyways, I used some RV awning repair tape purchased at the local RV dealer to mend the rip. It made a fairly transparent repair. You can also find the tape on-line at places such as Camping World.

Walmart also carrys awning repair tape by Camco. Not sure if there's a difference in quality or not.

x2 for awning repair tape. Used it with good results before replacing the awning on my old TT.

how is the repair with tape working? Any advise on what brand of tape works best? Thanks Fred

I bought the Imcom awning repair tape from Amazon. That stuff is amazing. On a previous RV, I taped my rip on both sides and it lasted for three years and is probably still on there now.

UPDATE:
So I posted back in 2012 about ripping my awning. Used the "Camco" Awning/vinyl tape from Walmart and it's still holding strong after nearly 3 years. Not bad, not bad at all.

Thanks for all of the member info on this. I snagged mine on a tree branch coming out of our elk camp site this year and need to get it fixed in time for turkey season.
