RV Awning Replacement & Upgrade Guide

At Tisdelle RV, we know how important your awning is to your RV lifestyle—it provides shade, protection, and comfort while you’re enjoying the outdoors. Whether your awning is worn out, damaged, or you’re looking to upgrade, we offer full replacement and upgrade services, as well as a wide selection of fabrics and components.


Awning Replacement Options

We can replace:

  • Complete Awning Assemblies (arms, roller tube, and fabric)
  • Fabric Only (keep your existing hardware if it’s in good shape)
  • Arms & Hardware (if damaged or outdated, while reusing fabric or tube when possible)


Awning Upgrade Options

Looking to modernize your RV? Consider these upgrades:

  • Manual to Electric Conversion – Switch from crank or pull-strap operation to push-button convenience.
  • LED Lighting Integration – Add lighting strips built right into your awning arms for bright, efficient illumination.
  • Adjustable Pitch Arms – Easily angle your awning for better shade and water run-off.
  • Wind & Motion Sensors – Protect your awning with automatic retraction during high winds.
  • Slide-Out Awnings & Window Awnings – Add extra protection and shade to slide-outs and windows.

Fabric Options

Your awning fabric has the biggest impact on style and durability. We carry:

  • Vinyl: Affordable, easy to clean, great for sun and light rain protection.
  • Acrylic: Breathable, mildew-resistant, and excellent for hot, sunny climates.
  • Heavy-Duty Options: For long-term durability and maximum protection.
  • Color & Pattern Choices: From neutral solids to bold stripes, choose a look that matches your RV.

Why Replace or Upgrade Your Awning?

  • Age & Wear: Over time, fabric can fade, tear, or lose waterproofing.
  • Damage: Storms, wind, or accidents can bend arms or damage fabric.
  • Upgrades: Newer awnings offer electric options, LED lighting, stronger fabrics, and sleeker designs.
  • Style: Change colors or patterns to freshen the look of your RV.

How to Measure for a Replacement Patio Awning

To ensure the perfect fit, measure your existing awning hardware:


  • Arms to Arms: Measure the distance from the center of one awning arm to the center of the other. Do not measure the fabric itself.


  • Projection (Extension): Most RV awnings extend about 8 feet, but confirm your specific model.


  • Fabric Drop: Measure the height from the roller tube to the rail when fully extended.


If you’re unsure, our team can assist with on-site measuring to make sure you get the right size.
