I have had four vinyl and two acrylic awnings. Cleaning is a major issue for me. I am mostly a weekender and the awning is closed more than open. With the vinyl, I was cleaning the underside by hand three or four times a year. With the acrylic, I have never cleaned it, just spray it off with a hose occasionally and it's good to go. The only down sides I can think of is if it is over 18 foot they can tend to sag a little in the middle. However, a center rafter will take care of that. Also they take a little longer to dry. I have rolled mine up wet quite often and weeks later unrolled it and I have never had any mold. I think the acrylic is much more appealing to look at. I agree with RV Wizard, the acrylic is much cooler to sit under.
