When your patio awning fabric cracks, fades, or tears, a quality replacement makes all the difference. This Lippert Solera 13.5-oz vinyl fabric is engineered as a direct replacement for 20-foot awning assemblies on Solera, Dometic, and Carefree systems. Heat-welded seams, a cold-crack rating of -25F, and a crisp Silver Fade colorway mean you get a durable, professional-looking result that holds up through seasons of sun, rain, and road miles.
At 13.5 ounces per square yard, this fabric is in the commercial-grade tier for RV patio awnings -- heavier and more puncture-resistant than the lighter fabrics found on some OEM replacements. The Silver Fade colorway presents a neutral, polished look from the outside while the underside is white, keeping your patio area bright and comfortable in direct sun.
The 8-foot projection gives you a full patio shade footprint, and the included poly cord along the hem allows you to add an optional LED light track later without needing to re-thread or retrofit the fabric.
Seams are heat-welded rather than stitched, eliminating needle holes that can wick water. Critical stress points are reinforced for long-term patio use.
Vinyl is tested to remain flexible down to -25 degrees F, reducing the risk of cracking when rolling or unrolling in cold-weather camping conditions.
A poly cord sewn into the hem creates a built-in channel so you can add an aftermarket LED light strip or light track -- no modifications needed.
Designed to fit Solera, Dometic, and Carefree awning assemblies sized for a 20-foot opening, making this fabric one of the most versatile replacements available.
This fabric has a finished width of 19 feet 1 inch and is intended for a 20-foot awning assembly. This is correct and expected -- replacement awning fabrics are manufactured approximately 11 inches shorter than the nominal awning size to account for the end caps and roller tube hardware on each side. Do not order a 20-foot fabric for a 20-foot awning.
Measure before you order. Measure your existing fabric from end cap to end cap (not the roller tube). A 20-foot awning assembly will yield a fabric measurement of approximately 19'1". If your measurement does not match this size, select the appropriate width from the available options in the Lippert Solera fabric lineup.
This fabric is a confirmed fit for the following awning platforms when the awning assembly measures 20 feet:
The fabric attaches using the standard roller tube and end cap system common to all three brands. If your awning uses a different attachment style -- such as a fabric-only wrap or a spring-loaded cassette -- verify compatibility before ordering.
5-Year Limited Warranty: Lippert backs this fabric with a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty, one of the longer coverage periods in the replacement awning fabric category.
Installation Tip: When transferring fabric to your existing roller tube, work in a clean, shaded area and have a second person help feed the fabric into the tube channel. Fabric is easier to thread when slightly warm -- avoid installation in cold temperatures below 40F. Once installed, run the awning through two or three full open-close cycles to seat the fabric evenly on the roller.
Made to Order -- No Returns: This replacement fabric is custom-manufactured to your specified size and color. It cannot be returned once ordered. Measure your existing fabric carefully before placing your order. Lippert recommends measuring the old fabric directly, not the roller tube assembly.
