Keep your RV awning rolled up tight and protected from the wind. These clamps grip the side arms of your awning to stop flapping, rattling, and accidental unfurling -- the kind of stress that causes fabric tears and arm damage over a full camping season.
Wind is the number one enemy of an RV awning. Even when the awning is retracted and latched, gusts can work the fabric loose, cause the arms to flex repeatedly, and eventually tear the material or bend the hardware. The Valterra Awning Saver Clamp is a simple, no-tools solution that physically clamps the awning side arms shut -- locking everything in place for travel or stormy overnight stays.
Each clamp wraps around the awning arm and tightens down with a wingnut. No ladders required -- the 10-inch span lets you reach the arm easily from ground level on most standard RV awnings. The rust-proof, high-strength plastic construction means these clamps live in your basement storage or cargo bay without corroding, and they won't scratch or stain your awning fabric.
Wingnut tightening by hand -- no screwdrivers, wrenches, or ladders needed for most standard RV awnings.
High-strength plastic construction resists corrosion, UV exposure, and road grime through years of seasonal use.
Smooth contact surfaces grip the awning arm without pinching, abrading, or staining the awning fabric.
Flat profile and lightweight build tuck easily into a cargo bay, storage bin, or toolbox between trips.
These clamps are most useful in three situations:
Installation is straightforward. With the awning fully retracted, slide each clamp over the awning side arm at a comfortable grip point. Hand-tighten the wingnut until the clamp is snug against the arm. Repeat on the second arm. Removal is equally fast -- loosen the wingnut and slide the clamp off. No modification to the awning or the RV is required.
