Give your rig a fresh look and reliable weather protection with this Lippert Solera factory-matched replacement awning fabric. Sized at 17ft 1in wide with an 8ft projection, it is engineered to drop into 18ft Solera, Dometic, and Carefree awning assemblies with no cutting or trimming. Heavy-duty 13.5-oz vinyl construction, heat-welded seams, and cold-crack performance down to -25F make this fabric a long-term upgrade, not just a patch fix.
Awning fabric takes more abuse than almost any other exterior component on your RV -- UV rays, wind, rain, road grime, and temperature swings from desert heat to mountain cold. Lippert engineered this Solera replacement fabric to handle all of it. The 13.5-oz vinyl is significantly heavier than budget replacement fabrics, which typically run 11 oz or less, giving you better tear resistance and longer service life.
The Burgundy Fade colorway provides a classic, warm appearance that complements a wide range of coach paint schemes and trim colors. The underside of the fabric is white, which reflects heat and brightens the shaded area underneath -- a practical feature on hot summer days at the campground.
Seams are thermally welded, not stitched, eliminating needle holes that can allow water infiltration. Critical stress points are reinforced for tear resistance during wind and rollout cycles.
Vinyl formulation is tested for cold-crack resistance down to -25F, so the fabric stays pliable and intact in cold-weather storage and early-season deployment without cracking or delaminating.
Includes a poly cord sewn into the drop hem for an optional LED light track. The light track and LED lights are not included, but the attachment point is already built in and ready to use.
The underside of the awning is finished in white, which reflects sunlight and improves visibility under the awning in bright conditions. Keeps your outdoor living space noticeably cooler.
This fabric is sized for an 18ft awning assembly. The measured fabric width is 17ft 1in (17'1") -- approximately 11 inches shorter than the full awning assembly width. This is normal and expected: awning fabric is always sized shorter than the rail-to-rail span to account for the roller tube hardware and end caps on both sides.
The awning projection (how far the fabric extends out from the coach wall when fully open) is 8 feet, which is a standard full-projection size for slide-out and patio awnings in this class.
This fabric is designed to be compatible with the three most common RV patio awning systems found on North American coaches:
Always confirm your awning's fabric width measurement before ordering. If you are replacing a Dometic or Carefree unit, verify the roller tube diameter and end cap style are compatible with this fabric's hem pocket before installation.
Not included: roller tube assembly, awning arms, hardware, LED light track, LED lights, or mounting hardware. This is a fabric-only replacement.
