Will it damage the awning if you leave it in place and roll it up with it?

I know people who leave them in place... I take it out if awning is going to be rolled up for storage or long periods of time. Awnings are too expensive to replace.

It would work on any awning. They are put on manually to tighten it and are taken off before you roll it back up.

No. It rolls out and stays rolled out. I have never had an issue with that.

That was a concern of ours also. After the first time it takes only minutes to put it back up so if we are near the brach or in an open area with wind we drop it and bring our awing in. This also happens if we are in a State Park and need to dump since no sewer hook up. One more thong, we are in a Class C. There is ample side wall that we put under our outdoor carpet. If you are in a 5th wheel you would mot hv this and you would need a ladder to put it up and take it down. The plus side is in a 5th wheel the ceiling (awning) is so high and spacious! We are not on a permanent site. Wind, yes we do take precaution like you would with your awning. If we are in a protected spot or winds less than 20mph we let it up.

Yes absolutely. It is a very aggressive tape so once it is on there...it's on there. It might look out of place if the awning is anything but a solid white though...your call.

On windy days I roll mine up. I don' think the metal holding the top are strong enough to hold up to higher winds. I fastened the frame to my deck rails with tie downs and that solved the problem with the wind. This winter I have kept it rolled up. Later on when the weather gets better, I will unroll it and fasten it to my deck. It makes nice shade in the summer.

We have the same type of material for our horse trailer awning. It's ok to roll it up wet for a couple of days, but it will mold if there is dirt or organic material left on the awning. The big thing is to make sure it's clean before rolling it up. If it's rolled up dry and is exposed to cold, rain and snow it'll probably be ok for a couple of months before you have to roll it out again and check it. Mold has a hard time attaching itself to synthetics. If the awning is clean you'll likely have no trouble. If you do get mold, hydrogen peroxide is a safe agent to clean with if Dawn doesn't get it out with simple washing. We have the same type of material for our horse trailer awning.

I have an awning on my 5th wheel that was discolored by mold. I sprayed it on, scrubbed with a soft brush and it turned out beautiful. My awning is vinyl.

We attached our awning to the fascia of our palapa. Awning slides left to right onto two screws. So it's held in place by the screw heads. You could possibly mount a board to the luggage rack and mount the two screws to the board?

I am amazed at the strength and durability of this tape. Although I've not used it on an awning, I think it would work as a temporary fix that may last awhile. Just make sure the awning is clean and dry. You can also ask questions directly to the company about their products. I did once and got a respnse back the next day.

sorry miss read your question the awning just zips on and is removable you don't have to use it I don't know how well it works without it. But it is removable . Very good tent for the money when its new if you take care of it and you don't abuse it.

Mine is still rolled up too. Can't imagine it causing any harm. It's only foam, no springs to worry about.

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

Not it doesn't damage it. The shifting and brake cables are made to stretch and it's not like your constantly stretching it out of spec.

You can roll it as hard as you want without damaging it. It will expand back to its original shape. I have travelled with it lots of times rolled up and it always gets back to its normal shape.

I think it would be ok if it was under an awning or covered in some way but would prob ly deteriorate if exposed directly to the elements.

Yes, but i would not crease it due to breaking the wires. It can be rolled up like a mat. It is too big for my chair, so i simply roll one half under the other.
