CamcoPart CMC42251Set of 2De-Flapper Max RV Awning Fabric Clamps -- Stop Wind Damage Before It Starts

Wind-whipped awnings don't just make noise -- they stress seams, crack fabric, and can pull hardware right off the roller. The Camco De-Flapper Max clamps grip your awning from below, anchoring the fabric to the support arm with an 8-inch non-marring pad and a secure hook-and-loop strap. No tools, no permanent hardware, and no creasing the fabric. One set handles most RV roll-out awnings and can even be used with a screen room attached.

Quiet the Flap, Protect the Fabric

A loose, unrestrained awning in a 20 mph gust can generate enough repetitive stress to tear fabric along the hem bar or crack the vinyl at the roller. The De-Flapper Max puts a wide, cushioned clamp on that problem -- literally. The oversized 8-inch grip pad distributes pressure evenly so there are no pinch marks or crease lines left in the fabric after you remove the clamps.

The strap system is equally practical: the 13-inch, 1-3/4-inch-wide hook-and-loop strap threads through a slot on the back of the clamp body, wraps around the awning support arm, and locks through an integrated buckle. Tighten the knob, cinch the strap, and you're done in under a minute per side.

8-Inch Grip Pad

Wide non-marring gripper spreads clamping load across the awning fabric to prevent pinch marks, crease lines, or fabric abrasion.

Tool-Free Install

Hand-tighten the knob and thread the strap through the buckle -- no drills, no screws, no special hardware needed at any step.

UV-Stabilized Nylon

Chemical-resistant, rust-proof nylon body with UV stabilizers resists sun degradation and stays flexible in heat and cold.

Screen Room Compatible

Clamps can be installed and removed without dismantling an attached screen room, saving setup and teardown time at camp.

How It Works -- Step by Step

Position one clamp near each awning support arm, clamping to the center section of the awning fabric. The working distance from the awning arm to the fabric edge must fall within the 4-to-6-inch range the clamp body is designed for. Then:

  • Slide the fabric between the clamp jaws and tighten the knob by hand.
  • Pull the strap through the slot on the back of the De-Flapper Max body.
  • Wrap the strap around the awning support arm.
  • Thread through the buckle and pull snug.
  • Repeat on the opposite arm.
No Tools, No Damage: The soft grip pads protect vinyl and acrylic awning fabrics. The hook-and-loop strap does not abrade the support arm finish. Both clamps can be on or off in under two minutes.

Replacement Straps Available

If the hook-and-loop straps wear out or are lost, Camco sells replacement straps separately so you don't have to replace the entire clamp set.

Replacement Straps: Camco Part 42243 -- sold as a pair -- is the correct replacement strap for these De-Flapper Max clamps. Available separately at rvupgradestore.com.

Where These Clamps Are Most Useful

  • Extended stays at a campsite where weather can change quickly
  • Coastal or high-desert sites with persistent afternoon wind
  • Full-timers who keep the awning out for days at a time
  • Anyone who has lost an awning to a sudden storm gust
Maintenance Tip: Before storing for the season, wipe the grip pads clean and check the hook-and-loop fasteners for debris. Lint and fabric fuzz in the hook surface reduces holding power over time. A stiff brush restores grip.
Storage Reminder: Always remove both De-Flapper Max clamps before rolling the awning into its storage position. Rolling the awning with clamps attached will damage the fabric, the roller, and the clamps themselves.

Important Information
  • Remove BOTH clamps before rolling the awning up for storage -- rolling with clamps in place will damage fabric, roller hardware, and the clamps.
  • Working distance from the awning arm to the fabric must be between 4 and 6 inches for the clamp to seat and grip properly. Measure before purchasing if unsure.
  • These clamps are a wind-reduction aid -- they are NOT a substitute for retracting your awning in severe weather, high sustained winds, or storms.
  • Set includes 2 clamps only. Replacement straps (Camco 42243) are sold separately.
  • 90-day limited warranty covers manufacturing defects. Damage from improper use, over-tensioning, or rolling up with clamps attached is not covered.
