How hard is it to replace an awning fabric? We bought our 2008 Jayco last summer and we love it! The trailer was only pulled 3 or 4 times as it was for big game hunts so usually stayed where it was when we bought it. The awning had never been out but it clearly is dry rotting. It was mildewed and we cleaned it but you can tell there are a few places it won't last another season. We want to replace it and I am confident hubby can do it. But I want to know how big of a PITA is this job going to be before I offer to shop for the new canvas and help haha. Also what cleaner do you suggest for the outside? Ours needs a good wash and since it is 100°+ outside this weekend I want to attempt to give it a good cleaning. ... See MoreSee Less
