Restore your RV's outdoor living space with this heavy-duty 13.5 oz vinyl replacement awning fabric from Lippert. Engineered to fit 12 ft awning assemblies from Solera, Dometic, and Carefree, this solid black fabric delivers cold-crack resistance down to -25F and heat-welded seams that hold up through seasons of sun, rain, and wind. Both the topside and underside are solid black for a clean, uniform appearance.
Worn, faded, or torn awning fabric is one of the most common RV maintenance tasks -- and this Lippert Solera replacement fabric makes the job straightforward. At 13.5 oz per square yard, this is a commercial-weight vinyl that resists UV degradation, mildew, and tearing far better than lighter economy fabrics. The 11'1" cut width is designed specifically for 12 ft awning assemblies, consistent with the standard industry convention where replacement fabric runs approximately 11 inches narrower than the labeled awning width.
The 8 ft projection gives you a full-depth shade and weather canopy over your entry, patio slideout, or outdoor seating area. A poly cord is sewn into the lead rail hem for optional use with aftermarket light tracks -- a convenient touch if you plan to add LED strip lighting later. Note that the light track and LED lights are not included.
Vinyl compound tested to remain flexible at -25 deg F, so fabric won't crack or delaminate in cold-weather storage or northern climates.
Seams are thermally bonded -- not just stitched -- for leak-resistant, high-strength joints at the points of greatest stress.
Made to fit Solera, Dometic, and Carefree awning roller assemblies -- three of the most widely installed brands on travel trailers and fifth wheels.
Integrated poly cord in the lead rail hem lets you add an aftermarket LED light track without drilling or splicing. Light track sold separately.
Lippert and the industry at large size replacement awning fabric by the roller assembly length, not the fabric cut width. This fabric measures 11'1" (133 inches) in width and is the correct replacement for a 12 ft awning assembly. If your awning arm-to-arm measurement is 12 ft, this is your fabric. The approximately 11-inch difference between assembly size and fabric width is normal and accounts for end caps and hardware clearance.
This Lippert replacement fabric is engineered to the roller dimensions and lead rail profiles used by the three most common OEM patio awning brands found on North American RVs:
If your existing fabric is black (topside and underside), this is a direct color match. If your original fabric was a two-tone or pattern, confirm the color code before ordering.
The 13.5 oz designation refers to the per-square-yard weight of the vinyl-laminated polyester scrim. This weight class balances durability and packability -- heavy enough for extended outdoor exposure, light enough to roll and retract cleanly without binding the torsion spring. The solid black colorway is achieved through a UV-stabilized pigment in the vinyl coating, which resists chalking and oxidation better than surface-applied dye.
