Can you please tell me how to adjust the awning? So is not closing all the way? It usually snaps into place. I own a 2019 Fleetwood Southwind Motorhome. Thanks
Hey quick question here. My awning motor crapped out so I purchased a new aftermarket motor for $35 (a new OE Lippert motor cost about 10x this) So I installed the new motor and everything is working much better, however when at full extension when I take my finger off the awning extend button the barrel still continues to slowly roll out, almost as if gravity is rolling it out more. I would’ve thought the motor would have some kind of brake on it so this doesn’t happen. Any ideas on what’s going on here??
Just had the awning replaced and it won't roll out all the way. Is there a way to adjust this myself or should I take it back to where it was installed?
Ok , so I hate my awnings . Stationary and winds can reach up to 40mph at times so I want to shade south side of rig . Is there a safe way to attach screening to top of rig to ground?
I have a demotic window awning that is comming out 6-10 inches on one side. I have tried poking it back in but it comes out immediately, please any opinion to help
I'm having a problem with my Latitude awning. I recently had an RV repair shop replace the entire awning due to a mishap. unfortunately when I attempt to extend it, ihe awning only extends 6 inches at a time( each touch) of the control pannel. It eventually extends after multiple touches and allows for the flap rollback automatically. Also the awning fully retracts without any problems. Is this a tension problem or a computer/contoller problem? The fabrick seems tight when extended which leads me to believe it may be a tension adjustment (a guess on my part). The RV shop said it's a factory tension setting and would have to order a new awning and would have to charge for installation again. Is there an adjustment that can be done to fix this issue?
Rain dripping from awning hits the plastic trim that is there to cover screws going into the floor. Attempts to hush it have failed. Any ideas? It is maddening. Forget about sleeping. Please and please
I’ve been seeing UA-cam videos on awning supports. Supports you use to be able support your extended awning and tie it to the ground, so you can leave it out on windy days. Are these okay to use and is there damage that could be done by using them?
My awning is OK, but the two bolts on the top of the awning ripped out of the trailer, actually they’re like large screws. There is room for four screws and there’s only two, guess I could just drill holes in the two that were not used and re-put the screws in. Looks like it was screwed into only the fiberglass on the trailer.
We have had the same thing happen to one we just rented and are being asked to fork up $14k for repairs. Would you mind telling me more about your experience?

How do I maintain the awning cylinder, as my awning cylinder looks dirty and is making some noise when closing up for the night?
Thank you brother! I definitely appreciate your sense of humor

My pleasure
Try repositioning the awning material. There's a set screw on the top that you can loosen and line up the material again. that should help.
Thanks Todd!
This is so good! Thanks for making me laugh AND learn at the same time.
"if you look around and you're the only one with your awning out.....YOU'RE WRONG" lmao I'm laughing so hard at this!!!!
But it’s true, is it not?

Love this guy! Wish he lived in my neighborhood!
Today I´ve learned that awnings are not kites. Great video, thank you for that!!! :)

Absolutely you can damage your rig that way. You just have to be careful and keep an eye on the weather.
I heard Girard are the best.:)
Are you talking awnings? or tankless water heaters?
I live in Kansas. Awning would be a waste of money.
Don’t doubt it.
We don't open that thing unless we're there and close it before bedtime.

That’s a shame, sorry to hear that. Each one it different so it’s hard to say without seeing it. Good luck though!

The blind rivets on the one side are loose from the wall. How do I make it tighter? It’s getting loose enough that I’m starting to worry about it.
