Replace worn, faded, or damaged awning fabric on your 17 ft RV awning with this direct-fit Lippert Solera vinyl panel. Engineered for outdoor durability, this 13.5-oz solid black vinyl fabric features heat-welded seams and is cold-crack tested to -25F -- so it holds up from desert summers to cold-weather storage without peeling, cracking, or delaminating.
When your existing awning fabric tears, fades, or develops leaks at the seams, replacing just the fabric is far more cost-effective than replacing the entire awning assembly. Lippert's Solera replacement fabric is designed to drop into your existing roller assembly -- no new hardware required in most cases -- and is compatible with Solera, Dometic, and Carefree slide-out and patio awning systems.
This panel measures 16'1" in fabric width, which is the correct size for a 17 ft awning assembly. That approximately 11-inch difference between fabric width and awning assembly width is standard and expected -- it accounts for the end caps and roller hardware. Do not order by awning assembly size; order by fabric width.
Heavy-duty 13.5-oz vinyl provides a solid balance of durability and weight. Resists UV degradation, mildew, and moisture penetration on both the topside and underside.
Seams are heat-welded rather than sewn, creating leak-resistant bonds at the highest-stress points of the awning panel. No thread to rot or fray over time.
Fabric remains flexible and crack-resistant down to -25F. Safe to deploy and retract in cold climates without the brittleness that causes cheaper vinyl to split.
Includes an integrated poly cord sewn into the drop hem for optional LED rope lighting or a light track rail -- sold separately. No drilling or splicing required to add lighting later.
This fabric is made to fit the roller and end-cap system used across Lippert Solera, Dometic, and Carefree patio awning assemblies on travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A/C motorhomes. If your awning roller uses a standard fabric insert channel, this panel is likely compatible.
Measure the length of your awning roller tube (not the awning assembly bracket-to-bracket span) to determine your fabric width. The fabric width will be approximately 11 inches shorter than your overall awning assembly measurement. This 16'1" panel is correct for a 17 ft awning assembly. If you are unsure, measure twice before ordering -- this item is made to order and cannot be returned.
Both the topside (facing the sky) and the underside (facing you when deployed) of this fabric are solid black. If you need a different color or a two-tone finish, check alternate SKUs in the Lippert Solera fabric lineup. Color cannot be changed after ordering.
