Back40 Certified RV Restoration & Repair is the one listed here, rated 5.0 from 8 reviews. That is a small sample, so read what people actually wrote before you commit. The shop works on awnings along with roofs, A/C, fridges and mobile calls, which helps when a bad awning turns out to be one item on a longer list. Ask directly what they need from you: fabric measurements, the arm model, or photos of the roller. A shop that knows the make and model before you arrive wastes less of your weekend.
Awning work often splits two ways. Replacing fabric or a bent arm usually means the RV sits at the shop, so plan for it to stay a day or more. A mobile tech makes more sense for smaller fixes, like a torn section or a loose mount, and Back40 does list mobile service. Mobile calls cost you travel time, so have the awning opened or at least photographed before they show up. If the weather is turning, say so when you book and ask how soon they can get out. Spring fills up fast around here. Call ahead and ask whether the fabric or arm you need is in stock or has to be ordered.
Awnings take a beating from wind and sun, and most failures start small: a pinhole, a stretched seam, a roller that stops retracting cleanly. Check the fabric and the arms before a trip rather than after. If you are already near Motley and heading toward Brainerd or Staples, a quick inspection beats a roadside repair. Ask whether the work carries any warranty and get the answer in writing. And if a storm is coming, roll the awning up. That one habit saves more money than any repair.
There is one shop listed in Motley for awning repair, and 4 more nearby. That is a thin field, so call before you drive out. Ask about current wait times and whether they stock awning fabric and arms for your model.
Back40 Certified RV Restoration & Repair is rated 5.0 from 8 reviews. The volume is low, so treat the score as a starting point. Read the reviews for specifics on awning work and ask the shop for details on jobs like yours.
Sometimes. Back40 lists mobile service, and simple fixes like a loose mount or small tear can be handled on site. Fabric replacement or a bent arm usually needs the shop, so describe the damage when you call and let them tell you which way it goes.
No shop here is listed as doing warranty work, so start with your RV or awning manufacturer. Ask for pre-approval and a claim number before any work begins. Then confirm with the shop in writing what the warranty covers and what you pay out of pocket.
