Ripped it to the extent it's not repairable? There are lots of excellent fabric repair products available where you may not see much of the repair area.

Repairing a Large Tear or Hole
If the tear is larger than two to three feet long, or it's a gouge or hole rather than a tear, then you'll need to patch the awning with matching material. This may bring to mind ugly-looking patchwork but done right, this sort of repair appears almost invisible.

Using the material you've purchased from the RV retailer that matches your existing awning pattern, cut out a square of material a length and width that is about one to two inches larger than the tear or hole.
Using fabric scissors (or a very sharp knife), make sure to cut all hanging or lose material from the edges of the hole. You want a very clean, smooth edge to the material.
Apply the outdoor glue to the underside of your awning around the edge of the hole or tear. *Apply the new material to the underside of the hole so that the face of the material appears through the hole, and the edges land firmly in the glue you've just applied.
