Question Awning Maintenance

[Bob K4TAX]

You stated, "I would suggest you do a lot of research!". I did exactly as you suggested. I did a lot of research including personally applying and evaluating the material in a test area for another application. I found it to be waterproof after 5+ years of application. As to UV protection, I have no verifiable way to measure this. It is still there, 5 years later, and performing as expected.

I see nothing "frowny" about this. Sorry that I agreed with you and seemingly the result is not satisfactory.

I apologize! Guess I misunderstood the intent of the comment!

I would be interested to hear how that holds up after 6 months to a year in the sun - live experience.

I'll be glad to post on the topic. Our TT is outside and is exposed to the sun, wind, rain, sleet, snow, hail, ice, and about anything else that comes along.

I'm very pleased with the results of the Flex Seal that I applied to our awning. It has been sitting outside for 6 months now. In looking at the awning area today, looks just like the day I applied it. I used the black Flex Seal in a quart can. I brushed and rolled it on for some 12" out from the awning attachment point. I applied 3 different applications to assure all the pin holes and crevices were filled.

Today I got our trailer ready to go camping. Checked and repacked wheel bearings, and adjusted the brakes, checked all lights inside and out, filled the water system, ran the air conditioner, checked the battery, and tire pressure. Now it needs a bath and wax job. Any volunteers?
