[VAC] Re: Awning Question



It's not quite that simple, as there is still some tension on the awning
when it's in the 'stored' position, and is usually a two-person job to
remove and re-install.

Rather that remove it each winter, I'd think it would be easier to
fabricate some sort of cover for it, or even just tape plastic over it. 

The awning should have, for the last foot or so closest to the trailer,
a panel that is waterproof and is intended to protect the rest of the
fabric when it is rolled up. It may be time to replace the awning fabric
anyway, if that part of it isn't doing it's job.
