    Lightbulb Awning Roller creased- how to repair

    Good Day,
    My husband and I took our 2022 GD Imagine 2670mk camping in Newport RI. Spot assigned to us had trees at every entry point to the lot and the lots across the street. In backing in, my husband came too close to a tree on the right hand side, and the rolled up awning was creased in a length of about 12 inches. We repaired the tear, but my husband in having difficulty in being able to round out the creased area and having the shade roll back in. It the actual metal roller that was damaged not the side arms.
    Campers Inn wants 1,500.00 to replace and we just don't want to throw away an otherwise perfect awning. Any thoughts or ideas?

    First of all, welcome to the forum! Sorry about your little accident - we've all "been there, done that."

    Some photos of the damage to the aluminum roller would help a lot. Depending on the type of damage to the roller, it may need to be replaced. If y'all are handy in that way, it's something that can be done at home - and there are YouTube videos out there to show you how to do it.

    You can create a signature block with your RV and tow vehicle information (see mine below). That way you won't have to repeat that information whenever you post or ask a question - and others won't have to ask. You can create a signature by going to:
