Awning vinyl top layer starting to delaminate

Has anyone ever attempted to save an awning with gorilla or flextape. Mine has a 12'x12' portion by the top front corner where the top layer has peeled away from the structural center layer.

I am under the impression that WD bars takes the weight that's on the ball and moves it off the TV rear wheels and towards front wheels. If so there would be no change to the load on the axles.

I don't believe produce is allowed and you must have the enhanced license or passports. I'm avoiding the hassle on a trip to Upper Peninsula MI from here in Rochester NY by going through OH this week.

Weight Distribution bars

I am running a 23 ft. behind a brand new 2500 HD. The trailer loaded is about 5500# and bears about 750" tongue weight. Do the weight distribution bars really accomplish much? The truck barely squats.
