When your RV awning fabric is cracked, faded, torn, or leaking, this Lippert Solera replacement fabric restores full function without replacing the entire awning assembly. The V000334424 is cut and finished at 18'1" wide with an 8-foot projection, sized to fit a 19-foot awning assembly on Solera, Dometic, and Carefree systems. The 13.5-oz vinyl construction is heat-welded at every seam and cold-crack tested to -25F -- ready for early spring and late fall camping without stiffening or splitting.
This is not a budget import. Lippert engineered this fabric to the same specification used in Solera OEM assemblies, which means it goes on straight, rolls smoothly, and holds up to the same weather conditions as the original. The Black Fade colorway features a gradated black-to-clear pattern on the topside with a clean white underside that reflects heat and brightens the area under the awning.
The fabric includes a poly cord sewn into the valance hem for an optional LED light track -- a detail that gives you a clean upgrade path later without any modification to the fabric itself. Light track and LED lights are sold separately.
Heavy-gauge vinyl resists UV degradation, mildew, and surface abrasion through seasons of use. Holds color longer than lighter-weight fabrics.
Seams are thermally bonded rather than sewn, eliminating needle holes that can wick water and delaminate over time. Critical stress points are double-reinforced.
Vinyl stays flexible in freezing temperatures, so rolling and unrolling in shoulder-season conditions won't crack the fabric or damage the roller tube.
A poly cord is integrated into the valance hem for easy installation of an aftermarket LED light track. No modifications needed -- just clip or slide the track into place.
Awning fabric is measured and described by fabric width, which is always shorter than the full awning assembly width. This 18'1" fabric is designed for a 19-foot awning assembly. The fabric runs approximately 11 inches shorter than the nominal awning size -- this is standard across Solera, Dometic, and Carefree systems and accounts for the end caps and roller tube hardware.
This fabric is designed to work as a drop-in replacement for the following awning platforms when the assembly measures 19 feet:
Installing replacement awning fabric is a two-person job. The fabric slides or bolts into the existing roller tube and is secured at the lead rail or valance hem depending on your awning model. Lippert recommends having a helper support the roller tube while the fabric is fed in to avoid kinks.
