Darren, I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your video about R&R of the torn awning with a failed motor. I assisted my son-in-law replace his awning motor today and after watching your video it only took us about 45 minutes total. He tried getting quotes from local RV technicians and they could not be bothered to answer his request. Your video saved him about $1000. Your video's are very information and detailed. Thanks again
Wow, that is a super difficult way to do it. I don't remove the mounting brackets; just fully slide the new awning into the gutter (use a thin piece of flashing sheet-metal to make it easier to slide over the mounting arm and prevent the fabric from being ripped), with the roller removed and disassembled on the motor end, slide the roller in, roll it up and re-attach the roller. I mark the motor end cap location before taking it out. I also do not release the spring tension, just keep it locked all the way till the end. I have changed a 20ft awning several times all by myself several times, yes it was a challenge but doable; it really helps to have another person to help.
Amazing tutorial, thank you! We studied this and were all ready to do the replacement & install but decided to improvise which made it easier for us. Here's what we did:
This is one BEST videos , this help me change my awning and motor in 2hrs (with my wife). thankyou very much . Your level to detail is what makes this video great.
You were not kidding about the gas struts!!! I way under estimated. Almost threw me off the ladder. Great vid. Very educational.
Thank you for the video. I was able to tension my spring properly. Awning works awesome now. 👍🏻
Right on. Thanks for the clarification. I missed that part.
Great video, thank you. the last couple of minutes actually helped me solve my awning being centered properly. It was not opening on one side without some help.
Once again you have taught me something I had no idea that the awning worked an operated that particular way . Thanks
Great job at explaining things. Made it all so clear. 👍👍👍
Wow ... Outstanding video and high energy too ... What a hoot ... the off the cuff remark on the coat hanger use ... Enjoyable and entertaining and educational...
Little Giant ladders are the best. I have a 3 step Little Giant with hand rail/tool tray and it's foldable. Something you may want to look into. I have a Four Wheel Camper that has a "gutter" over the back door. I always wondered what that was for. I'll have to look for a small awning for it.
Well done, Thank You for the information! Buying 18" Tie Wraps right now...
S.O.L.I.D. Video! I have a tracking issue and now I have a good Idea where to start my FIX!! Thank You!
You sir are sure doing this the hard hard hard way! Just cut the awning at the rail, slide out that piece then remove the tube and the spring tension.... take the fabric off the tube.... then reverse the process
Wow... now that was a heck of way to replace that awning fabric 😮 I just changed mine out, and I done the job alone. I didn't remove the awning arms as you did. Wish I had of done video showing how I done it. It was a real easy job. Now nevertheless you done a great job at replacing the fabric.
I have an awning just like this one, now I know how to work on it. Thanks.!
Quick tip! Save the old fabric, works great for a heavy duty table cloth ,
Great video. I had a similar problem. I replaced my awning fabric by myself without unwinding and disassembly of the springs but a second camera wasnt working that i thought was, and another went dead but didnt miss too much. If you get a chance to watch it, let me know if you have any tips or tricks that might make it easier than it already was.
My motor is making the same clicking sound. I have to twist the FRTA to get it started in either direction. I'll be testing with a separate power source today.
