Give your rig a fresh look and restore full weather protection with this Lippert Solera replacement awning fabric. Sized at 15'1" wide to fit a 16 ft awning assembly, this Burgundy Fade vinyl fabric is built for the elements -- cold-crack tested to -25F, finished with heat-welded seams, and backed by a limited 5-year manufacturer warranty. Compatible with Solera, Dometic, and Carefree awning systems, it is one of the most versatile drop-in fabric replacements available for RV owners.
Awning fabric takes a beating -- UV exposure, wind, rain, road debris, and years of rolling in and out. When your original fabric fades, tears, or develops leaks, this Lippert Solera replacement brings it back to like-new condition without replacing the entire awning assembly. The 13.5-oz vinyl construction is heavier than economy fabrics, offering better resistance to punctures, sagging, and UV degradation over time.
The Burgundy Fade colorway features a gradient finish on the exterior while the underside is white, which reflects heat and keeps the shaded area cooler on warm days. A poly cord is sewn in along the valance edge for an optional LED light track -- a popular upgrade for full-timers and weekend campers who enjoy the patio after dark.
Heavy-duty vinyl resists UV fading, tearing, and moisture absorption better than lighter economy fabrics.
Seams are heat-welded rather than stitched, eliminating needle holes that can allow water to wick through under load.
Vinyl stays flexible in freezing temps, reducing the risk of cracking or splitting when deploying the awning in cold weather.
Built-in poly cord along the valance lets you add an optional LED light track -- light track and lights sold separately.
This fabric is sized for a 16 ft awning assembly. The finished fabric width is 15'1" -- approximately 11 inches shorter than the full awning width. This is normal and expected: the fabric attaches inside the roller tube and the lead rail, so the assembled width of the awning hardware is always longer than the fabric itself.
How to measure your awning for fabric replacement: Measure the full width of your awning from the end cap to end cap on the roller assembly. If that measurement is approximately 16 ft, this fabric is the correct size. Do not measure the old fabric directly -- measure the hardware.
The fabric has an 8 ft projection (the distance the awning extends out from the RV wall when fully deployed). This is a standard patio awning depth suitable for most Class A, Class C, fifth wheels, and travel trailers.
This Lippert Solera fabric is designed to work as a drop-in replacement across multiple popular awning brands that share the same roller tube and rail system:
Verify compatibility before ordering. While this fabric fits a wide range of awnings, roller tube diameter, end cap style, and rail profile can vary by model year and awning series. Confirm your awning model matches the Solera/Dometic/Carefree fabric attachment standard before purchasing.
Not included:
This is a fabric-only replacement. If your roller tube, lead rail, or hardware are in good condition, you only need this fabric -- no need to purchase a full awning assembly.
Replacing awning fabric on a Solera-style system is a two-person job in most cases. The general process involves removing the roller assembly from the awning arms, sliding out the old fabric from the roller tube groove and lead rail channel, feeding the new fabric into place, and reassembling. No special tools are typically required beyond basic hand tools.
