Dometic uses a very hard-wearing material for its awning fabric. After all, it has to resist wind and weather as well as tough mechanical loads. Even so, tears and holes are a fact of life when you are on the move with a camper vehicle. In most cases the damage results from improper or careless use – e.g. a sharp stone or a branch of a tree that was rolled in with the awning accidentally.
You can patch any small holes in the fabric or parts where the coating has come off:
1
Use a cotton cloth to rub around the damaged area with a small amount of liquid vinyl plaster (ref. no. 9103104018, available from your service partner).
The liquid vinyl plaster dissolves the coating. The coating seals the hole when it dries.
2
Wait until the area is dry before you retract the awning again.
