Every time your RV entry door swings open and contacts your awning fabric, it risks a rip, fray, or permanent crease. The JR Products 01-0922 Permanent RV Awning Saver installs once and eliminates that risk for good -- no clips to lose, no foam to replace. A zinc-plated steel bracket holds a heavy-duty extra-wide plastic roller between your door and the awning fabric, so contact becomes a smooth roll instead of a destructive snag. A screen door protector disc is included for added coverage.
RV awning fabric is not cheap to replace. A single season of repeated entry door contact -- especially on windy days or when the door is thrown open -- can abrade, fray, or outright tear the fabric edge. The JR Products 01-0922 solves this at the source by placing a smooth-rolling barrier exactly where the door meets the awning.
Unlike peel-and-stick foam pads or clip-on bumpers that degrade in UV and heat, this unit is a permanent, hardware-mounted solution. The zinc plating on the steel components resists the rust and corrosion that outdoor RV hardware routinely faces.
Corrosion-resistant plating stands up to rain, humidity, and outdoor exposure season after season.
Heavy-duty wide roller spreads contact force across a broad surface so the awning fabric is never pinched or snagged.
Protects the screen door panel from contact marks at the same time -- no separate purchase needed.
Screws directly to the door or door frame for a set-it-and-forget-it installation that will not shift or fall off over time.
Awning fabric -- whether vinyl or acrylic -- weakens at stress points that are repeatedly flexed or abraded. The leading edge and underside closest to the entry door are the most vulnerable zones. Replacement awning fabric or a full cassette awning assembly represents a significant expense; a simple roller guard at the point of contact is straightforward preventive maintenance.
The 01-0922 mounts in the door jamb or on the door frame at the point where the door contacts or approaches the awning. The mounting area accommodates up to 1-1/4 inch of surface length. Use the included or standard self-tapping screws appropriate for your door frame material. The roller should be positioned so that it makes first contact with the awning arm or fabric edge as the door opens, redirecting force into a smooth roll.
JR Products backs the 01-0922 with a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This reflects JR Products' standard coverage for their hardware and accessories line.
