Awning Doesnt Close All Of The Way On One Side

Next connect the awning end of the wiring to the battery supply and see if the motor runs and operates it.

Awning doesnt close all of the way on one side. Because of the way a retractable awning is designed it needs to be able to easily roll out and back. If it shows 12v then everything is fine with the coach wiring and supply. An rver asks gary bunzer the rv doctor why the awning on his recreational vehicle will not retract evenly and what he can do to f. Make use of voltmeter and check the voltage at the point on the coach side.

This is of course if you have an awning with one spring sometimes there are two. Change polarities of the battery connection to the wire and see it retract or extends. Consult your owner s manual for precise instructions. The awning won t fully extend if the open limit setting is set too closely to the awning s closed position.

Canvas is certainly going to hold up better than other materials but it s not infallible. Ideally during installation the awning should be fitted perfectly with both arms being positioned parallel with the awning fabric stretching between these arms. The rear spring needs to be wound the opposite direction as the front spring. A lot of times this can be corrected by spinning it the way it needs to go and it can work.
