As Steve said the STRAP is exposed to the weather 100% of the time, plus when you are moving it is flapping against the side of the coach. The loop you hook on to pull out our main awning strap began to fail and we just used some Sunbrella to fix it. Worked like a charm. There is no need to worry about replacing the entire awning. Chances are the main awning fabric is still in good condition, and unless it has some obvious damage replacing it would just be throwing money down the toilet. No point in turning a simple fix into a very expensive proposition.
