Used RV Awnings
Used RV awnings are a great value to add to your RV if you have to either replace your awning or if you are buying one for the first time. Awnings are one of the most utilized accessories you will use on a motorhome. Not only does it extend your living space to the outdoors it also provides shade which is especially helpful during the summer months. Our first rv didn't have any awnings and we suffered for it. But

since those early days all of our rv's have had awnings. We would never buy another motorhome, trailer or camper without the patio awning or window awnings. We highly recommend purchasing a used rv awning if your rig is not equipped with one. Awnings are easy to set up and fold away and will only make your traveling and camping experience more fun. |
If you find that you need to replace your awning fabric then consider the following - color, fabric, UV protection, breathability, and quality of the seams. You want the used rv awning your considering to compliment your rv color and side panel decor. Search for the highest quality fabric that will continue to perform as an awning should for many years. Good quality rv awning fabric can last as long as 14 years. An awning with UV protection, waterproof and breathability will provide you and the interior of your rv with comfort while out in the elements. Also look for a strong tensile strength to the acrylic fabric. Last but not least, inspect the used rv awning seams. They should be bonded without any fabric puckering or fraying.
If the used rv awning you are considering has a tiny hole or very small rip, don't give up. There are some excellent products on the market for rv awning repair. Awning repair tape is clear so that your used rv awning doesn't look like patch work. It is extremely durable and weather proof, however, if you don't follow the application directions to a T then you won't get the best results. You could also use Eternabond which is a tape used for rubber roof repairs. Eternabond is highly effective in almost every tape worthy situation.
RV awning replacement is easier than you might think so don't be discouraged. You can purchase a good quality used rv awning for a fair price and install it yourself faster than you can say Jack Rabbit Slims. However, if you are unsure about taking on the responsibility of installing your new used rv awning yourself then hire a professional. What ever year your rv is you shouldn't have any problems finding the correct fabric replacement size for your brand of awning.
To keep your awning hardware in proper operating condition you should lubricate the awning hardware parts using a silicone based product. The silicone based products will keep dirt and dust from adhering and damaging the hardware components. When you clean your used rv awning use a mild soap and rinse thoroughly with water. To keep it looking great clean both the top and underneath of your used rv awning.
