Make Your Next Camping Trip Enjoyable With A New Camper Awning.Camping is enjoyed by millions. So much so that many people make substantial investments in both a quality camper and accessories. After all why not? If you enjoy doing something, you might as well do it well and in comfort. As with any other large investment, it pays in the long run to maintain your equipment. Every once in awhile however, due primarily to age and wear, equipment goes bad and needs replacing. One of the most common repairs on traveling campers are camper awning replacement projects. Fortunately, the job is not that difficult to do yourself if you have the right skills and materials. If not, camper awning replacement is not that horribly expensive. So, what are some of the reasons people decide to replace their camper awnings. Since we've already discussed one, let's address a few others. These other reasons can include the following: 1) Your old awning is too small and you need a larger size. Doing this type of camper awning replacement may require new hardware for your camper to allow for the larger size. But this would only come into play if your new awning was wider. Changing your camper awning to one larger in depth is relatively simple. 2) Your old awning is out-of-style and you just don't like it anymore. This is a fair reason to do a camper awning replacement. After all, times and styles change. And if you don't like your old, red-and-white- checkerboard picnic table awning, you own the right to change it. In short, your reason to replace your camper awning is up to you. Some Other Options: OK, you've decided to do a camper awning replacement and now you have a few other decisions to make. To begin with, you'll need to choose between the two primary materials used: Fabric and metal. Both have their benefits. Metal is obviously more durable, but less versatile. Contrarily, fabric is less durable, but more versatile. Take your pick but just know the limitations. For the remainder of this article, the focus will be on fabric being the choice for your camper awning replacement. Your next set of options includes what type of awning you like. The choices are between a pop-up awning, a slide-out/retractable awning, or a complete awning with screened-in sides. For me, I like the screened-in awnings. They're great for keeping you safe from the rain and heat as well as keeping the bugs off your food as you eat outdoors. A camper awning replacement can be the difference between an enjoyable or not-so-enjoyable camping trip. Make your decision a wise one. |
