It’s easier to just change it.
Go to the or a dealership and order the awning. Take yours apart and pay attention to how your taking it apart so you can put the new one on. I personally don’t think it’d be all that hard.
Not as easy as one thinks. The roller on your awning has some very powerful springs in it, depending on the brand there is very specific winding required to put it back on. How bad was it torn. I had a tear in my 22ft awning about 2ft long, got a really neat way to fix and it has held up.
Sew the tear with teeth floss (thats right) then coat it both sides with SHOE GOO. Can get shoe goo at Wal Mart, incredible tough stuff. The floss will not tear the awning material.
Good Luck
I own an RV Dealership, and awnings are about the trickiest thing to replace. The springs are wound really tight, and if you don’t know what you are doing, they can take off a finger when they un-wind (they can do major damage even if you know what you are doing). If the wind took it off, you should be able to get your insurance to cover it and have it done right at a reputable service agency. If you do it yourself, there is a chance that you won’t get it rolled right, and it will be too loose or too tight, and if it is too loose, the wind will take it off while you are driving down the road!
