Give your RV's awning a full rebuild without replacing the entire assembly. The Lippert V000334419 is a heavy-duty 13.5-oz vinyl replacement fabric sized at 17'1" wide with an 8-foot projection -- purpose-built to fit 18-foot awning assemblies from Solera, Dometic, and Carefree. Both the topside and underside are solid black, and the fabric ships with a poly cord for an optional LED light track so you can upgrade your setup at any time.
Sun, rain, wind, and temperature swings take a toll on awning fabric over time. Lippert engineered this replacement fabric from 13.5-oz vinyl -- a commercial-grade weight that balances durability and packability. Cold-crack testing down to -25F means the material stays flexible and intact even after cold-weather storage, which is a common failure point for cheaper awning fabrics.
Heat-welded seams eliminate the stitched-seam leaks that plague lesser fabrics. At every critical stress point along the roller hem and pull strap edge, the weld creates a bond stronger than the surrounding material, so seams don't unravel or wick water over years of use.
Commercial-weight vinyl fabric resists UV degradation, mildew, and tearing through seasons of full-time outdoor use.
Stays flexible and crack-free after cold storage -- critical for four-season RVers and northern climates.
Fused seams at high-stress points eliminate stitching failures and prevent water wicking along the hem.
Pre-installed poly cord lets you add an optional LED light track later -- lights and track sold separately.
This fabric is cut for an 18-foot awning assembly. The finished fabric width is 17'1" -- approximately 11 inches shorter than the nominal awning width, which is standard practice across Solera, Dometic, and Carefree systems to allow proper roller fit and end-cap clearance. If your awning assembly measures 18 feet rail-to-rail, this is your fabric.

Always measure your existing fabric or your awning rail span before ordering. Fabric is made to order and cannot be returned once production begins.
The 8-foot projection (depth from wall to lead rail) provides substantial shade coverage for a full camp chair setup, outdoor kitchen, or entry area. Combined with the 17'1" width, this fabric delivers approximately 136 square feet of shade -- enough to shelter the typical RV slideout or entry zone from direct sun and light rain.
Replacing awning fabric is a two-person job on most RVs. The general process involves removing the roller tube from the awning arms, sliding out the old fabric, feeding the new fabric's hem rail into the roller slot, and re-tensioning the spring before reinstalling. Lippert and most compatible awning brands use a standard hem-rail insertion method -- no special tools required beyond basic hand tools.
