Lee's RV & Marine
Family-run RV and boat dealer in Ellington with a service center for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades.
Ellington is a small town, and when an awning gets torn or the roller tube quits, you don't have many nearby choices for fixing it. One shop handling RV awning repair sits close by, with another twelve or so in the surrounding area if you're willing to drive. Here's what to expect and how to plan the trip.

You've got one shop in town for awning work: Lee's RV & Marine, rated 4.3 from 520 reviews. It also handles A/C and fridge repairs and keeps parts on hand, which helps when a replacement arm or fabric is needed. That said, awning fabric and hardware don't always sit on a shelf, so call ahead and ask if the part is in stock before you hitch up. The shop does not list warranty work, so if your awning is still covered, get pre-approval from your warranty provider first and confirm Lee's will take the job. Ask a simple question when you call: can they fix it, or does it need a full replace?
There are no mobile awning techs listed for Ellington, so plan on bringing the RV in rather than having someone come to your driveway. If the wait at the one local shop is long, the surrounding area has roughly twelve more options, including shops in nearby Connecticut towns. Spring is when everyone books awning and roof work, so call early if you're heading out for the season. A mobile tech is usually best for small fixes and a shop is better for a full awning replacement, since it needs space and sometimes two people.
Roll the awning out and back in a few times before you go so you can describe exactly where it binds, sags or tears. Note whether the problem is the fabric, the arms, the roller spring or the motor, because that changes the repair. Take photos. If the awning won't retract, mention that when you book so the shop knows you're arriving with it stuck out. And check the sealant along the roof edge while the awning is out; a leaky seam is easy to spot then and worth fixing in the same visit.
One shop is listed in Ellington itself. If that one is booked or can't take the job, about twelve more in the surrounding area are within driving distance.
Lee's RV & Marine is the local option, rated 4.3 from 520 reviews. It also handles A/C and fridge work and carries parts.
No mobile awning techs are listed for Ellington, so plan to take the RV to a shop. Mobile techs work well for small jobs, but full awning replacements usually need shop space.
No warranty work is listed for the shop. If your awning is covered, contact your warranty provider for pre-approval and confirm the shop will accept the job before you go.
