Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
@DWR6 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it helps in some small way.
Thanks for the new video. I'm about to do this on my Apex Nano. I hope it goes as smoothly.
Thank for your comment and good luck!
that was so cute your wife asked if you hit extend...lol my wife always notices the spare parts from my projects..
Lol mine too and watches to see if it breaks because of the spare parts rofl.
On my awning on the spring end opposite of motor end there is a hole you put a slender screw driver or cotter pin which will stop spring moving awning tube 6:21
Thank you for this video. I think it's exactly what I need. One question that you might could help with and that is if my motor is dead how do I extend the awning in order to repair it? If there's some way we can briefly chat by phone that might be helpful as well.
You ever find the answer to your question...I'm also curious about this.
Mike, sorry for the delay in reply. Check out this video. He is bring it in. The reverse should work for taking it out. You shouldn't have to go out too far. ua-cam.com/video/zj3_hFk7kKw/v-deo.html
@@jones2journey I'm looking to extend completely to dry before I cover for the winter, as I'm not prepared to replace the motor before the snow flies. Thanks
@@cujobo I think you'll have to use that method to extend it and retract all the way. It will take some time and moving your ladder. But that's the only way I know of.
Great video. Thank you. If I ALSO want to replace my fabric, is it easiest to do the fabric after installing the new/rebuilt motor so I’m able to control the frame moving in and out?
I haven't had to replace our fabric yet. So to be honest I'm not sure. Just be careful not to let the tension cut loose. I would think a good motor would help keep it in place. But I would recommend doing your research. Thanks for watching.
@@jones2journey thanks so much.
Is there a torsion spring on the other side?
Yes. Make sure you put a pin, allen wrench, or screwdriver in one of the holes on the other side if you have to take off that arm. Otherwise the tension will unwind and it's a big problem.
Hi, I see you have a cover for the awning that roles up with awning where can I get one.
Good question. Ours came with it so I had to do some looking. Here's a link for one place. www.shadepro.net/product/replacement-patio-awning-canopy-acrylic-w-metal-cover/
You can also get a slide over cover on Amazon.
If I order the rivets and riveting gun on amazon, can you please help me know which to get!?
Here's a link that comes with the drill bits and a variety of rivets. Some awnings may have different sizes.

I have your same awning system. I can not find a video that demonstrates how to remove and replace the fabric. Do you have or know of one??? Thank you
Unfortunately, I do not.
I did some research. Here are some videos that will hopefully help. The 1st is not motorized but has good information and descriptions. The other two aren't as well explained in some areas, but do have the info about removing the motor. It is HIGHLY important to do 2 things. 1- pin the non motor side so the spring doesn't unsprung on you. 2- zip tie the arms so they don't extend out. Make sure to mark your motor placement and also where the awning and valance runners were so that you replace in the same groves.

Hope this helps.
?? Are Winnebago chieftain 39t class A motor moves a tad (half inch) in n out, but doesn’t open. We’ve never opened since purchasing. 2003 model weather pro power awning. Is there a safety lock or catch we need to release first?? Tia
I have never seen any locks or safety catches on power awnings. It sounds like the motor has not brought the awning all the way in. Leaving some of the awning not rolled up. This would allow it to not roll up tight. This could be a motor issue or a spring issue within the awning roll. I temporary safe guard would be ti zip tie the awning arms to the arm frame attached to the rig. I had to do this once when we had an arm break.
@@jones2journey thanks. I finally got it to open and close. I honestly just think it was sticking after not being opened for a few years. It opens and closes well and is in decent shape considering it’s age!
@@kevinb.3528 great to hear! Enjoy your rig and your journey.
how about weather pro awning motor ？Can it also be used on the 9100？？
What size are the replacement rivets?
They are 3/16. Hope the video helped. Thanks for watching.
@@jones2journey the rivets that came with mine felt like they were made from tungsten! They would not snap. I was about to finish a project without any problems and then I tries to install the rivets lol. Thankfully I had some aluminum ones in a box at home.
Lol i had to cut the rivets with snips because they were so hard.
First, commet
*comment, for some reason it didn't save the "n". Whoops, oh well
same question, motor is dead-how did you extend awning? Otherwise the rest of your video is not applicable.
We attached a drill battery to it and we're able to override the system to get it to run out. Just make sure you have the leads connected right or it will run it in instead of out.
These things are super dangerous best to use three or four tie wraps to hold those Pistons those things are so strong they can knock you right off the ladder or take a big chunk out of your face if you're near them then the tension spring on the other side should be locked with a pin before removing the motor or at least has somebody hold the roller with a big pair of channel locks and as you're trying to rotate things to line it up it's possible to break the arms off the tensioner or the motor where it slides into the channels these things are super dangerous especially if you're working on them when they're extended you have to wind the tension spring up so tight almost 17 turns on a 20-footer then you have to put the pin in there and then you have to rotate the thing slightly to get the motor lined up to get it all back together so if you're not careful you can get seriously hurt on these things there's not enough people putting out precautions on this stuff warning people about that
With the power disconnected the 1 zip tie on each end was plenty to hold the arm in place. If you don't feel confident enough to do the project yourself. Please call a tech or take it to a repair shop (if you can get in). But for the DIYer, it's pretty straight forward.
