Relieved RV Tanks
Mobile RV tank cleaning from Key West to Key Largo, using hydro jetting to clear tanks and get sensors reading again.
Big Pine Key is a small place with a big RV problem: when your awning gets shredded by a squall, you need someone who can fix it fast. There's one shop in town that handles awning repair, and a few more a short drive away. I've had an awning torn loose on a windy day, so I know the drill. Here's what you should know before you start calling around.

You won't find a dedicated awning shop on every corner here. The one local option is Relieved RV Tanks, which handles both fridge and awning work and has a 4.4 rating from a handful of reviews. That's a solid sign, but with only seven reviews, it's worth asking about their experience with your specific awning type. If you need more choices, there are five more shops within driving distance. Call ahead to see if they stock the parts you need, especially if your awning is a less common brand. Mobile techs are another route, though none are based right here. They can come to your site, which saves you the trouble of retracting a broken awning and hauling the rig. Ask if they cover the Lower Keys and what the trip charge looks like. In a place like this, a little flexibility goes a long way.
Spring and early summer fill up fast with snowbirds and summer travelers, so if you need awning work done, call at least a week ahead. Ask the shop if they can pre-order parts; a torn fabric or a bent arm can take a few days to arrive, and you don't want to be stuck waiting. Also ask whether they do warranty work. In this area, the shops we found don't, so if your awning is still under warranty, check with the manufacturer first to see if they'll approve a local repair or reimburse you. That call can save you real money.
Before you pay someone, do a quick inspection yourself. Look for small tears or loose stitching that you can patch with awning tape. Check the arms and rails for bent parts or missing screws; sometimes a simple tightening is all you need. If the fabric is ripped beyond a patch, though, it's time for a pro. Also, clean and lubricate the moving parts a couple times a year to prevent bigger problems. That bit of upkeep can keep your awning working longer and save you a repair bill down the road.
There is 1 shop in Big Pine Key that handles RV awning repair. That shop is Relieved RV Tanks, which also works on RV refrigerators. If you need more options, there are 5 additional shops within driving distance, though none are based in town.
The average rating is 4.4 out of 5, based on reviews for the local shop. That's a decent score, but with only a few reviews, it's a good idea to ask specific questions about your awning type and the work they've done before.
It depends on your situation. Mobile techs come to you, which is handy if your awning is stuck open or you're at a campground. A shop might have more equipment and parts on hand. Since there are no mobile techs based in Big Pine Key, you'll likely pay a trip charge for one to come out. Ask both options for quotes.
No, the local shop does not do warranty work. If your awning is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer first. They may authorize a repair at a local shop or reimburse you for the work. Get any approval in writing before you commit to the repair.
