Give your RV's awning a fresh start with this factory-quality replacement vinyl fabric from Lippert. Designed to fit 18-foot awning assemblies from Solera, Dometic, and Carefree, this 13.5-oz vinyl fabric delivers the durability and weather resistance your rig demands -- backed by a limited 5-year manufacturer warranty and cold-crack testing down to -25F.
When your existing awning fabric fades, tears, or starts leaking at the seams, a full replacement is far more cost-effective than buying a new awning assembly. Lippert's Solera replacement fabric is built to OEM specifications using 13.5-oz vinyl -- a weight class that balances strength, packability, and long-term UV resistance for RV patio use.
At 17'1" wide (fabric width), this roll is designed to fit an 18-foot awning assembly. The fabric is intentionally approximately 11 inches shorter than the nominal awning width -- this is normal and accounts for the roller hardware on each end. Double-check your awning assembly width before ordering.
Heavy-weight vinyl resists tearing, puncture, and UV degradation better than lighter fabrics. Holds up to seasons of road vibration, wind, and sun exposure.
Seams are thermally bonded rather than sewn, eliminating needle holes that can leak over time. Critical stress points are reinforced for long-term integrity.
Vinyl remains flexible and crack-resistant at extreme cold temperatures -- important for RVers who store or travel in northern climates or shoulder seasons.
A poly cord is sewn into the fabric for an optional LED light track. The light track and LED lights are sold separately and are not included with this fabric.
This fabric is engineered to fit 18-foot awning assemblies from the following brands:
The 17'1" fabric width is approximately 11 inches shorter than the 18 ft. assembly width -- this is by design and accounts for the roller tube end caps and hardware. Do not order based on fabric width alone; measure your awning assembly (roller tube end to end) and match to the nominal awning size (18 ft.).
Replacing awning fabric is a manageable DIY project for most RV owners with basic hand tools. The fabric slides onto the roller tube and the lead rail (travel bar), and the pull strap or valance attaches at the front. Key notes:
