Camco Awning Repair Tape 5" x 15' — UV-Resistant, Waterproof Patch Tape for RV Awnings & Tents

If an unexpected tear or puncture shows up on your RV awning, boat sail, canopy or outdoor gear, this repair tape provides a straightforward, durable fix. The 5-inch width and 15-foot length give you enough material to cover many common damages without specialty tools. Built with an aggressive adhesive and UV inhibitors, the tape is formulated to resist tearing and sunlight degradation so repairs stay intact through weather and travel.

How will this tape hold up to outdoor weather and sun exposure?

The tape includes UV inhibitors specifically to slow breakdown from sunlight, and the plastic film resists moisture and wind-driven stress. While it’s not a brand-new awning replacement, it provides a weatherproof barrier that prevents water intrusion and further fabric fraying.

• UV-resistant formulation to reduce fading and brittleness
• Waterproof plastic film blocks water from seeping through tears
• Aggressive adhesive keeps edges sealed against wind lift
• Resists tearing in multiple directions for durable patches

How do I apply the Camco awning repair tape correctly?

Application is simple: clean and dry the area thoroughly, round off sharp tear edges, then press the tape firmly over the damage. Smooth from the center outward to expel air pockets and overlap seams by at least an inch for extra security.

• Clean surface with mild detergent and let fully dry
• Trim ragged fabric and cut tape with straight edges for neat adhesion
• Apply firm pressure and smooth to remove bubbles
• Allow adhesive to set before exposing to heavy wind or rain

What materials and damage types is this tape best suited for?

This tape is intended for flexible outdoor fabrics like awnings, canvas, vinyl seats, backpacks, pool covers, and tents. It’s ideal for repairing rips, punctures, seam splits and abrasion spots, but not meant to rejoin heavily structural frame components or replace full fabric panels.

• Works on RV awnings, boat sails, tents, tarps and vinyl covers
• Repairs punctures, rips, seam separations and worn spots
• Not intended for load-bearing or structural frame repairs
• Good for temporary or permanent cosmetic and functional fixes

How much coverage does a 5" x 15' roll provide and when should I replace it?

A single 5" x 15' roll covers a long strip—about 75 square feet of surface area—allowing multiple patches or seam reinforcements. Replace the patch if adhesive begins to lift, if cracks form in the tape, or after prolonged UV exposure that reduces flexibility.

• Provides roughly 75 square feet of patching material
• Allows several medium-size repairs or many small fixes
• Inspect periodically for lifting edges or brittleness
• Replace or reapply when adhesion or flexibility degrades

Who is this for: The Camco 5" x 15' Awning Repair Tape is for RV owners, boaters, campers, outdoor gear maintainers and DIY enthusiasts who need a fast, durable way to stop leaks and extend the life of canvas, vinyl and fabric equipment. It’s particularly useful for roadside or campsite repairs when you need a weatherproof solution without sewing or professional service.
