I NEVER use my awning, but both of the end caps are broken, chipped, and look disguising. However, since I'm not going to REMOVE the awning I'd like to know of a supplier to replace the end caps. Does anyone know the awning style that was used on the 1998 RV's so I could look for end cap replacements?
Thanks...
Hello Cheryl. Do you know the brand or manufacturer of this awning? If not, perhaps you could post a couple of pictures. At the least I’ll do my best to help you hunt for replacement parts.
The official source of Fiamma awning parts is....Fiamma.

You will need the model number, located on a plaque inside the awning enclosure.
The caps snap on, you may want to apply a little bit of adhesive to secure them.
Painting the caps with Oxford white will prolong their life.

I'm surprised someone with the nickname of "Desert Diva NM" would not find an awning to be a Good Thing. Where do you travel that is so devoid of sun and rain?

Awnings are somewhat delicate creatures, and I've seen too many destroyed by wind gusts, etc... The Fiamma awnings seem to more delicate than others. Therefore, for me I've found it easier not to use it at all and sit on the "shady side" of the rig, and when I need shade travel with a beach umbrella.

Hi Ed - It's a Fiamma awning and I just uploaded the sad looking photos...
Good morning Cheryl,
I’d suggest calling the company to see if you can buy replacement parts especially since you have pictures. If not, it might be time for a bit of end cap renovation. The most difficult part could be removing the end caps since refinishing them is straightforward. Lots of shops to include Amazon sell Oxford White and clear coat in a spray can for the finish after preparation.
Best of luck with another project to make your much loved LD look smart!
