Why college tailgating choose Custom Printed RV Awnings
School colors, dialed in
We Pantone-match school colors so the awning looks like official merch — not a knockoff.
Mascot artwork supported
Got an unofficial mascot or alumni group logo? Upload it and we'll lay it out for you to approve.
Be findable in a sea of RVs
A 20-foot custom awning beats every flag in the lot. Friends spot you before you've even leveled the rig.
Common use cases
How college tailgating actually use a printed awning — and what we typically print for each setup.
Saturday game-day tailgates
The tailgate rig awning is the meeting point for your whole group. School colors, mascot and a lot number or group name make it findable in a sea of identical canopies.
Bowl games and championship road trips
Postseason trips are worth a dedicated print — year, opponent and destination city turn a one-off trip into a keepsake awning your group brings back every season.
Alumni chapter and group lots
Alumni chapters order matching awnings so the chapter block reads as one unit. Chapter name, city and founding year are the usual layout, with room for a local sponsor.
Greek life reunions
Letters print large and clean on vinyl, and crest artwork reproduces sharply when we clean up the file first. Popular for homecoming and anniversary reunions.
Homecoming weekend rigs
Homecoming crowds mean photos. A bold, high-contrast print gives every group shot a branded backdrop and makes your rig the default gathering spot.
Tailgate hosting and catering setups
Groups that feed a crowd add a menu or beverage-station panel to one end of the awning so the line forms in the right place.

Frequently asked questions
Can you use my school's official logo?+
We can print fan-made and alumni group designs in school colors. For licensed marks, you'll need permission from the licensing office — we can print the file you provide.
Will it ship in time for football season?+
Order by mid-July to be ready for Week 1. We turn proofs in 1 business day and ship in 10–14 days from approval.
What if I have multiple schools in the family?+
We've done split-color awnings — half one school, half the other. Just describe what you want when you upload artwork.
Will the awning hold up to fall weather?+
Marine-grade vinyl handles rain, wind and sun. It'll outlast your current head coach.
How fast can I get my custom awning?+
You'll get a free digital proof within 1 business day of placing your order. Once you approve the proof, your awning prints, cures and ships in 10–14 business days. Need it sooner for an event? Ask about our rush program at checkout — we can usually compress to 5–7 business days for an extra fee.
How do I know what size awning to order?+
Measure the length of your existing awning roller tube (end cap to end cap) — that's your awning size. Most RV awnings are 8–21 ft. If you're unsure, snap a photo of your roller and arms and send it through our contact form; a fleet specialist will confirm the size and fabric width (typically 8 ft drop) before we proof anything.
Will it fit my existing awning hardware?+
Yes — our replacement fabric is cut to your exact spec and slides into standard RV awning channels (Dometic, Carefree, Solera, Lippert, A&E). The arms, roller and motor stay in place. No new hardware required.
Can I install it myself or do I need a shop?+
Most owners install it themselves in 30–45 minutes with one helper — we include step-by-step instructions and a short video. If you'd rather have it done, any RV service center can swap the fabric in under an hour. We'll send installer-friendly tags so the shop knows exactly which side is up.
What if I don't have artwork ready?+
No problem — upload a logo, sketch, or even a photo of an old awning and our in-house designers will clean it up and lay it out for you free of charge as part of your digital proof. We won't print anything until you sign off.
Do you offer fleet or bulk pricing?+
Yes. Orders of 3+ matching awnings get tiered fleet pricing and a single approved master proof so every rig in your fleet looks identical. Departments and PO orders welcome — reach out through our contact form.
