It delivers fresh, water-shedding vinyl fabric on a new roll so you can re-skin your existing awning without replacing the arms, motor, or weathershield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is almost always the first thing to wear out on an awning. The arms and motor can keep working for years while the canopy slowly bleaches, stretches, and frays under constant sun and road exposure. The Dometic 9100 Fabric Roller Tube Assembly is the fix for exactly that situation. It pairs a new canopy with a fresh roller tube in one unit, so you can restore your existing 9100 power awning instead of paying for a complete new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assembly is the 18 ft length in Black, a deep, clean color with Dometic's Fade styling that looks sharp whether your coach is light or dark. The vinyl canopy sheds water, wipes clean with mild soap, and holds its color through long stretches of direct sun without turning chalky. Because the fabric ships already mounted to a new roller tube with the torsion assembly, there's no fussing with feeding old material into a channel. You're working with a complete, pre-rolled canopy that's ready to go onto your existing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnowing what this part includes keeps you from over-buying. The Fabric Roller Tube Assembly is the canopy fabric, the roller tube, and the torsion assembly that gives the roll its spring tension. It does not include the cast aluminum arms, the 12V motor and drive, or the metal weathershield. All of those stay on your rig and get reused. This is the right replacement when your awning's mechanism is still solid and only the fabric has given out. If the arms or motor are also failing, the complete 9100 power awning is the better buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swap is a familiar job for anyone who's serviced an RV awning, and it's a two-person task. The common method is to rest the new assembly in a padded V-trough, which supports the roll and keeps the fabric off the ground, then move it onto your existing arms after you've dealt with the motor, drive, and any lighting connections. The torsion carries spring tension, so treat that step with respect. If managing spring tension isn't something you want to tackle, a local shop can set it quickly. When it's done properly, the awning looks and functions like new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing is the one thing to get right. This is the 18 ft canopy, so verify your current awning is an 18 ft 9100 before ordering, and make sure Black is the color you want. Measuring your existing roller and rail is the reliable way to avoid a mismatch, since an awning that's even a foot off won't seat correctly. If you're not certain of your length or whether you have a 9100, send us your coach details and a couple of photos and we'll help you confirm the right part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the new canopy is on, a little care makes the re-skin worthwhile for the long run. Bring the awning in ahead of strong wind or storms so a gust doesn't stress fresh fabric, and let it dry completely before you retract it for extended storage. Rolling up damp fabric traps moisture between the layers and can lead to mildew, which is the one thing that shortens a good canopy's life. Keep those habits and your new Black fabric will give you many more seasons outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most owners, replacing only the fabric roller tube assembly is simply the smart call. The costly structural pieces, your arms and motor, are already paid for and still doing their work. Dropping in a fresh 18 ft canopy brings back the look and function of your patio space without the expense or labor of a full awning. If you've been putting up with a tired, faded canopy, this is the straightforward way back to clean, reliable shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement fabric and roller tube assembly for the Dometic 9100 power awning, not a complete awning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 ft length to match an existing 18 ft 9100 awning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl fabric with the Dometic Fade look, sheds water and wipes clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes the canopy fabric, roller tube, and torsion assembly as one pre-rolled unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReuses your existing cast aluminum arms, 12V motor, and metal weathershield\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores a faded or torn awning at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls onto existing hardware, best supported in a padded V-trough during the swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe economical choice when the awning mechanism is still in good shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Dometic reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this the whole awning?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. This is the Fabric Roller Tube Assembly, the replacement canopy fabric, roller tube, and torsion assembly.
