When replacing your RV awning, always start by securing the arms with duct tape or zip ties to prevent them from snapping back during removal. Work with a helper to manage the weight and size of the awning, especially when removing or installing the roller tube. Carefully release the tension in the springs (for manual awnings) before disassembly, and use a lubricant like soapy water to make sliding the new fabric into the awning rail easier.
