What are the options for awnings on the GMC motorhome? Mine came with a Carefree awning, it says Deluxe on one of the vertical pieces. The fabric is shot. The hardware seems to be relatively intact except I assume it had an up/down toggle and that seems to be locked up. It may need some repairs to the hardware.
Is this awning setup worth keeping and repairing? I could get a new fabric, not sure about the hardware parts.
What are the other options for awnings?
It had an aftermarket channel strip screwed onto the roof about 4 inches higher than the stock channel. One end has torn free creating a leak, so I've removed the channel. I'm in the process of cleaning up holes and sealing them up.
Will a new awning require this higher than stock channel or can I seal up all those holes?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
