Fastest RV Awning Fabric Replacement I've Seen

This is not a sponsered video.

I Was at Power RVz in Mesa, AZ and my good friend Stacy of Awnings R Us was there replacing an awning fabric. His company only repairs and installs RV awnings so they are very good and fast.

This is a standard manual Dometic RV Awning but he is installing a Carefree of Colorado fabric which changed the design of the fabric to have a pushed in piping like a sceen door fabric. I think I learned a few things too. This was nearly filmed in real time with most edits for wind noise.

I stumbled upon them so apologize for any poor audio as this was not planned.

Here is a link to the rivet gun that I love:

Thanks for watching but do not attempt this if you do not know the dangers.

It's almost like a ballet when two people work that well together. Every movement has a purpose and no wasted effort.

What a joy watching pros work. It was almost like a dance, they were so in sync with each other at each step!

Very impressive watching folks who know what they are doing. Thanks for showing us who they are.

Watched this video and went out this morning and followed the videos steps. Went so fast that I thought I may have done something wrong. The hardest part of the instal was having to run to the hardware store to get some 1/4 inch rivets because all I had was 1/8th inch rivets. Even my wife was impressed on the job and how well it went.

Thank you for sharing this video! And kudos to these guys for allowing you to share their work!

That’s my Uncle right there🤠 I enjoy learning and being apart of the Awning Dream Team every chance I get when I’m out in AZ🌵

I replaced the awning fabric on my 5th wheel once and it took a bit longer than that, about 5 hours longer. That is quite impressive. Thanks for sharing.

This a good example of niches in the business! Young people who are looking to learn life long skill sets should be watching this stuff.

Excellent video. I should have watched prior to damaging my knuckles. I successfully installed a 16 foot awning ( by myself) after viewing your video numerous times. The installers are truly professionals and likeable as well. Thank you for sharing

In my days of RV Tech I did quite a few of these. These guys made it look so easy. I had to do quite a few alone. That is another story. I love this video so much I have watched it several times. At some point I will own one of those Milwaukee rivet guns. Don't need one since I am retired but I want one. Thanks for sharing :)

Two guys who’ve done this a thousand times. Do it in their sleep. Thanks James.

Thank you for a very informative video. Real professionals always make difficult tasks look so easy. It was great to see that during the video it was stressed to be very cautious when dealing with the danger of the coil spring tension - they can really bite the unwary if not handled correctly.

You guys saved me a ton of time and money. I was able to do my 22' on my own paying close attention to your vid, Thank you!!

I used this method today for the first time. It went great! Still took much longer than these guys overall but I will keep practicing. So many details that make the process much smoother. Huge thanks for sharing!

[derstuka]

Money well spent! There is nothing more comforting than watching an experienced pro do their job, and knowing if you needed this type of work, you could rely on them to do the job right!!

[bramptonfinest]

Watched and did what the two workers (seriously these guys are pros) did worked out fine you do need 3 people at times. Thanks to the camera man we watched the guys tightening of the springs directions and you guys were awsome....watch and learn we unwound it slowly and counted the number of rotations in our case 14. When we tightened our springs we counted 14 rev.

This method took myself and my daughter about 2 1/2 hours to complete. There were a few things different about our application that took time to figure out, but the end result was great. Thanks for sharing!

This video, with all of the little tricks and tips, made this a much easier task for me (and my helpers) today.
So much easier using this method than what I"ve seen in other videos. THANK YOU

Just did mine following this video to a T. If you don't want to get slowed down I would clean out the upper awning channel very well BEFORE trying to slide in the new awning material. A little dirt/grit will slow down the sliding into the channel tremendously. thanks!

It’s DIY gold when you can find a video like this of pros doing a job.

Most vids are done by folks who know even less than me.
