When your RV awning fabric tears, fades, or cracks beyond repair, this Lippert Solera replacement fabric lets you restore full function without replacing the entire awning assembly. Made from 13.5-oz vinyl with heat-welded seams and cold-crack resistance down to -25F, it is built for real-world outdoor use across seasons. This specific fabric measures 12'1" wide with an 8-foot projection and is sized to replace the fabric on a 13-foot awning assembly. Color is Sand Fade on the exterior with a white underside.
This is a made-to-order replacement fabric panel for Lippert Solera patio awnings as well as compatible Dometic and Carefree awning assemblies. It drops into your existing roller tube and arms without requiring a new awning system, saving significant time and cost over a full replacement.
The 13.5-oz vinyl construction is heavier than economy replacement fabrics, which translates to better tear resistance, reduced sagging in heat, and longer resistance to UV degradation. Heat-welded seams eliminate stitched seam gaps that can allow water infiltration at critical stress points along the length of the fabric.
Rated to resist cracking and brittleness down to -25F -- important for RVers who store rigs in cold climates or travel in shoulder seasons.
Seams are welded rather than stitched, reinforcing the fabric at high-stress points and preventing water leakage along the panel length.
A poly cord is pre-installed along the valance for an optional LED light track. Light track and LED lights are sold separately.
Backed by Lippert's limited 5-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
This fabric is designed to replace the panel on a 13-foot awning assembly. The fabric width of 12'1" is intentional -- replacement fabric is typically cut approximately 11 inches shorter than the stated awning size to account for the roller tube hardware and end caps on both sides. Do not order based on the labeled awning size alone; measure your existing fabric rail-to-rail before placing an order.
The 8-foot projection (the depth from the RV wall to the valance) matches the standard Solera patio awning geometry. If your current fabric has a different projection depth, verify compatibility before ordering.
Not included: Roller tube assembly, awning arms, LED light track, LED lights, mounting hardware, or end caps. This is fabric only.
Replacement awning fabric installation involves removing the existing fabric from the roller tube and lead rail, threading or sliding the new fabric into position, and re-securing the ends. The specific process varies slightly between Solera, Dometic, and Carefree assemblies, but all use a similar fabric-insertion channel design. Two people make this job significantly easier, especially when feeding the fabric into the roller tube channel.
Awning fabric is sold by the size of the awning assembly, not the fabric panel itself. This fabric panel measures 12'1" wide -- approximately 11 inches shorter than the 13-foot assembly label -- which is standard for the Lippert Solera design. Always confirm by measuring your existing fabric, not the awning arms or end caps.
