You have my envy for sure! I have the same problem and didn't have all my tools with me. Luckily I had zip ties to tie the awning as best as I could for the drive back home. I'll try your solution!
@1964cht for sure I know what you mean. I bring an extra tent so I can clear the van for the family regarding living space via extra gear. Only downside is when we stay at some Harvest Host locations, everything must be self contained, I.e. no tents.
you're welcome, unfortunately for us, it has happened 3 more times. I'm going to have the dealer look into it. that shouldn't happen more than once in my opinion.
Thank you so much! This video literally just saved our day allowing us to fix on the fly and drive home. Same exact thing happened as the video and very quick fix thanks to you. Appreciate you posting! #lifesaver
Ours stops about a foot and a half out and adjusting the limit switch doesn’t do anything to improve it. Cranking it in manually brings it in but not all the way, about an inch out. Regardless of what I do it stops again in the same spot. Have been in contact with Carefree, hoping they can get me in touch with a tech.
No, I have not had that issue. However, after doing the adjustment I show in the video, I had to do it about 2 or 3 more times before it worked correctly every time.
@@1964cht So I have the adjustment correct for how far the awning comes in. For the out adjustment, do you know if clockwise turns make the awning go out further or if counter clockwise turns makes it go out further? After I adjusted the in setting the out goes out further than it used to allowing the awning to sag.
@@dellparker7686 I would suggest checking out the owners manual for your model. if it's the same brand as mine, the info can be found here. www.carefreeofcolorado.com/rv-products/rv-awnings.html I haven't had to adjust the extension on mine so I don't have any experience with it.
Thank you. I really, really appreciate how to videos that get right to the point without music.

it's got to the point that I carry too much stuff just in case. I should lighten the load and pack more zip ties! Good luck!

@@1964cht true. We are due to be at grand design in a few weeks so I'll be asking them about it as well.

Glad it helped! When it happened to me, I searched and found no help, but luckily I had a couple days left to figure it out.
Great video........it worked the first time that we tried it.
Thank you! Just had this problem today
Thank you so much for posting this video 🙏. It fixed the problem and you saved us a lot of time troubleshooting.
My pleasure. Glad it worked out for you
Thanks, just what I was looking for!
Thank you. Worked like a charm.
Just saved me!
Great informative video!! Just had it happen to me now I’ll try the fix! Fingers crossed 😅
Well? did it work? Sure hope so! When it happened to me, I struggled to find a solution. Was afraid I was going to have to drive with it hanging out!
Thanks so much my fifth wheel doing the same thing
I put a gutter under mine.Should keep rain water from getting to ramp door seal.

Were you able to get it fixed?
Thanks
Thanks good job !!!
Does your patio awning have rubber bumpers?
If so where are they installed?
I'm not sure what bumpers you're talking about.
The issue I have with mine is that it won't extend. I hear the motor but it doesn't extend.
not sure about that. I haven't had that issue, sorry.
Do you have an issue with this particular awning not extending without helping it by pulling on the awning a little? That is the issue i am having.
No, I have not had that issue. However, after doing the adjustment I show in the video, I had to do it about 2 or 3 more times before it worked correctly every time.
Clock wise to make it come in further for the in position
And counter clock wise for the screw that lets it out?
There are 2 screws. the one I was turning adjusted how far it comes into the rig. The other screw adjusts how it goes out when extended.
@@1964cht thanks very much!
