Carefree of Colorado RV Awning Soft Connect Replacement: DIY How To Replace A Carefree Soft Connect

preview_player
Показать описание
What is a "Soft Connect"? Carefree of Colorado powered RV patio awnings often include something called a Uniguard, which is a metal wrap that prevents the awning from billowing in the wind while driving down the highway.

The Soft Connect is a section of fabric that attaches the Uniguard to the side of the RV. Since that fabric is ALWAYS exposed to the sun (even when the awning is stowed), it's generally the first piece of material to break down due to UV rays.

But you don't have to remove the awning to replace it! In this short video, we'll not only show you how, but we'll tell you how to install a far better replacement that will last FAR longer!

The last video of yous that we watched was several months ago when you installed new awning fabric on your awning. Decided to subscribe again and the first video we see is you replacing the soft connect strip on your awning😀. Its like we never left. Looking forward to watching all your future content. Thanks.

Amazing! I was just on a website just last week to price a soft connect for my Tiffin that is starting to tear. I’m glad I didn’t my have the exact measurement and procrastinated. This is super helpful, guys!

It’s amazing your timing! I was just looking at this strip on my A&E awning thinking that I need to probably replace it before it flies off going down the road, and up pops the RV Geeks to the rescue! Thanks guys!

I noticed something was missing in my feed, then it occurred to me, whatever happened to those RVGEEK Yeahoos? Using the process of elimination, I immediately found the answer in the latest question of your last video, obout a year ago.
Good to see youll, in the words of Schwarzenegger, be back. Congratulations on your successes with the RVERS. looking forward to your return. Best wishes and take care...

Hello, do you know if there’s anything available that you could attach to your awning? I have a butter 30 foot awning to keep the mosquitoes and blackflies out.
