    Awning color

    Hi All, We just bought and received a 2016 Reflection 337RLS and the awning color is black. Unfortunately black is not a good color with Florida heat. Does anyone have any ideas or have replaced mfg awning?
    Thanks

    You can always just replace the awning fabric itself instead of the entire power awning. Most parts and service departments can order the fabric and install it for you.

    Give it a try before you replace it.

    Thanks will try it, but the black just seems hot! If it doesn't work out may look into changing the fabric. Thanks again.

    Actually, the Arizona sun can be pretty brutal too, but we don't seem to notice any heat build up under ours.

    ...and the all black awnings look awesome compared to the older style the varying bands of color and then a white section for the weatherguard.

    I too have the same questions about the black awnings...we were having toppers put on our slideouts BUT don't want the black because afraid it will be to hot in slideouts...going to use black hardware and use satin color instead of white and if the black doesn't work out on main awning will change the fabric to the graduated black to grey....thoughts?
