DATE OF ORDER: 07/18/24DATE RECEIVED: 07/26/24DATE OF REVIEW: 08/26/24PERSONAL BUY / PRODUCT TO REVIEW: Personal BuyDELIVERY: UPS - Came in a smaller box than what I would have thought and all folded up. Not rolled on a tube. But a few minutes in the sun and the wrinkles came right out.QUALITY: In our case, it was an exact OEM replacement.INTENDED PURPOSE: RV CanopyRECOMMENDATION: I make a HIGH recommendation to buy. The canopy properly fits. Our canopy bar is 18'. This canopy fit the tube with 3" to spare on each end. The OEM had 6-8" on each end and didn't cover the door area very well. This one does.PRO 1 - The material is thicker and heavier than OEM (18 oz versus 13.5 oz)PRO 2 - It costs FAR less than OEM.PRO 3 - It does come with example installation instructions. But it might not be your particular setup.CON 1 - The wire to the canopy light bar is not inserted or prepped. However, this canopy has double sticking on both sides. I was able to punch a small hole in the top end and bottom end. Then, use a fish tape. I attached the old wire and pulled it thru. Easy and worked like a champ.CON 2 - Because it is 18 oz fabric, it is heavier. I replaced the shocks at the same time as the old ones were 10 years old and not retracting well. With the extra weight of the fabric, it 'could' cause issues later but only time will determine that.COMMENT: Why pay the extortion of OEM? This one is MUCH, MUCH better and I believe will last longer. The project is much easier with two people. Watch the videos (ones similar to your design) available on the internet. It didn't take all that long to do. When threading the top into the track, BE CAREFUL. The edge is sharp if pulled incorrectly and could tear even the best of fabrics.

Seems to be good quality, doesn't extend out as far as the original maybe about 6in shorter but well worth money

Fits like is should and looks good …

The quality and price of this vinyl is just as good if not better than what was on my reflection to begin with.I might even buy a second one when I need to replace my other awning

Last picture is old awning. Awning seems like better material than the one I took off. I put off getting a new awning for so long. My awning was deteriorating by the touch. I regret waiting so long. I got ridiculous quotes from RV shops. I watched a couple videos and it was easy. My original awning had a light strip but I didn't see the point of paying extra when I'm going to replace my awning more often in Florida. I found a camper LED light strip the length of my awning on Amazon for cheap. Very happy I did this myself.

received as advertised. have not yet had chance to install.

This awning seems to be made of quality thick materials my only gripe is it is at lease 6" short (going out from the trailer) of the original awning we were replacing. Awning bars do not go up as high and straighten so tend to be a head height now.

Great value for money. Quality material, nice vinyl cord. Sizing was accurate. Instructions were clear and included pictures which is nice for anyone who hasn’t done this before.Note that it does not come with anything but the fabric and sewn-in vinyl cord. Anything else you might need for your awning, like a pull strap, is not included.

Easy to install
