A&E Sunchaser (Dometic) Awning Spring Assembly Replacement

We change out a A&E Sunchaser (Dometic) spring assembly. The lock was beginning to fail on this one, so we switched it out for a used one that I had.

My awning tore and when I flipped the switch around and around she went until she stopped. Now I know how to remind it in the right direction as I would have done it backwards

Thank you, you have given me some confidence replacing the spring on my Dometic 9100 awning. Great video!!! Loved the humor!!!!! The kids learning a skill!!

[@ianmcclelland9773]

Thank you... particularly for having so much fun removing the bolt. Not just me!

[@Mrbulldog301]

Just wanted to thank you for putting the video of my awning spring reset.

[@neander53]

I appreciate this video more than you know. I was about to work on adjusting the tension not knowing that it ISN'T a single shaft with one spring. Seeing this saved me a lot of grief. Why it is so hard to find a spring-tightening video for the A&E 8500 is beyond me!

[@thomasguthrie5938]

Good video. The best part was the screw up. I watched the video just for that information...which way to wind the springs.

[@crystalmorse1037]

video was very informative and your humor was awesome. thank you for making the instruction so easy to follow. going to attempt to replace the awning spring assembly later tomorrow following your step by step instruction.

[@mathewvickery5288]

Awesome video! I'm looking to shorten a 12 foot to 8 foot and needed to understand how that spring works. And your humor is spot on hahahah. Thanks a ton!

[@RVHabit]

We all do things backward at times. I probably would have cut it out in editing, lol. I appreciate your honesty in leaving it in. Nice job.

[@dalehutchinson9584]

Thanks to your video, gave me the confidence to try and fix mine, and it worked, not to mention the 3 to 4 I was quoted to have done by the pros.... well done buddy

[@johnlingiewicz1082]

Hey Hillbilly, just finished replacing my awning using your spring assembly video. Everything went on very well and did some minor maintenance on the spring assembly(clean & lubricate). Ty

[@mikerayle6103]

Thank you much for this video it's exactly what I was looking for and now I have the confidence to see why mine is acting up.

[@coreyfulton8933]

Thanks for doing a video on this older model awning (we are replacing the fabric on ours currently). It was instructive to see the same head that we have, and how to remove the bolt holding it to the arm (without having to fear that the spring tension was suddenly going to be released). Great job on showing your 'mistakes' regarding re-tensioning the spring-- that was very helpful. One suggestion - - don't assume your audience has any skills regarding something like drilling out the rivet. We had never done that before, and had to fumble our way through trying to pick the right drill size, and to understand exactly what we were trying to accomplish without screwing something up.

[@jeffreybackes4664]

Love your humor keep the videos coming!

[@johnlingiewicz1082]

I knew you were going the the wrong way on the rewind the first time you did it but I couldn't tell you. TY

[@markpomeroy39]

Thanks! You made it look easy. 🤔

[@mitchvass4498]

Hey thanks for the tutorial helps a lot.

[@madjack7979]

Keep up the great work guys you make my day with the humor

[@renacrappell8749]

First time watching. Fun and informative. 😊

[@robertthompson6958]

Always a pleasure.
