Slide topper/awning repair in Phoenix

[Rice]

The fabric on my slide topper is made of two pieces of fabric stitched together, with a 12" strip of vinyl near the body of the coach, and then mesh for the rest of the topper. I want to replace only the vinyl, and I want to have it done in Phoenix.

I just want to remove the vinyl and sew in a new section.

I've contacted two awning replacement outfits, and both say this can't be done. But I know people have done it, but not in Phoenix.

Who would do it? Upholstery shop? But I'd like to use actual awning fabric--what is on there now is really sturdy (it's been 14 years of fulltiming), and has what looks almost like fiberglass threads in it, and don't think upholstery shops would have that.

Any suggestions?

Try Yuma, they have all kinds of RV awning shops.

Right down the road in Wellton. This guy sews up darn near anything. Don't know if he will use your piece along with new but call him. He made a new slidecover/window awning for us last spring. He will tell you what measurements they need and will ship. And his prices are good. I'm going to get him to make up the other two before we leave at the end April

You can buy awning replacements reasonable from several online dealers. Smaller slide toppers should take maybe 30 minutes each to R&R. Large slide rooms maybe 45 minutes. There are lots of youtube videos on how to do it.

Lots of boats in the Phoenix area - should be a fabric repair place to support them...
