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.

I am a retired mech on cars, buses, military vehicles, Cessna airplanes, the CH-53 Sea Stallion, the F-4 Phantom, and the F-18. In the military our crews got into synch and were smooth and fast while taking their time. In civilian mechs I haven’t seen that…. UNTIL THIS VIDEO. Sure auto out crews are in synch and fast but they’re busting their asses to be fast. These guys were the epitome of “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”. I salute this awesome team.

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.

That's still impressive to do. 5th wheels can be more difficult due to heghts and many 5th wheel awnings have different length arms to add to the difficulty

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 video did it for us! Was going to use the "simple" method where you don't take off the non-blocking end cap, until I realized it was not passible to lock that end as shown in some videos. Also understand why these guys use the spongy cord for the valence. I had to sculpt the tip of the very hard cord that came with our awning fabric in the shape of an arrow tip to insert it properly. Thanks a ton, made this job accessible!

Now let's see how fast they do it on a weather guard fabric with a permanent built deck exactly where you need to position your ladders. A customer on their 7th bud light asking you every life's question imaginable.... That's my experience. Impressive work, to make a living off nothing but awnings would be a dream. Tool belts are great but for a tech that all screams of scratches. I do like the use of those rollers I use a pair of saw horses but maybe a roller would be better.
@AZExpert
@AZExpert 3 года назад
no doubt a toolbelt would never work for a RV tech. I always feel like a first day tech when I'm balancing on a ladder in the weather about to take a weatherpro apart with the customer watching. I know exactly what you're talking about
@rickgagnepain5434
@rickgagnepain5434 8 месяцев назад
I've watched several videos now showing how to replace the fabric on an A&E awning, none of them have the aluminum weather shield. At what point do you install the weather shield, and how hard is it to do? I assume it is the last step which means you are wrangling a semi flexible 18-foot-long metal cove and trying to slide it over 2 beads while standing on a stepladder working 11 feet above the ground.
