If you are just wanting to replace your fabric then the rest of the awning assembly would remain the same so you could maintain your weather guard when the awning is rolled up. I recommend Item # LCV000334443. This is replacement awning fabric which would require the roller and arms be taken off the Camper/RV. The old fabric removed from the roller and the new fabric installed in it's place. This awning is a silver fade.

If you are wanting a complete kit I recommend Item # LC405523. This is a white fade powered awning that is controlled on the arm or by mounting the included switch. Has an automatic rain dump feature. When rain water is pooled up more on one side, the weight will cause the shock to compress enough to allow the water to drain off or it can be manually lowered at one end. Another great feature that I recommend adding on is the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit Item # LC715123. This censor will automatically retract the awning up when it detects any high winds. This is especially helpful in fast moving storms when high winds come on abruptly and you are away from your camper.

We do not offer awnings with the weather guards however; I contacted Lippert and the awning cover you currently have will work with a new assembly so you can maintain the protection you are looking for.
