    Awning Lesson Learned - expensively

    Was out camping a few weeks ago and the awning wouldn't go out. (Dometic 9100 power awning). Pushing the switch both in and out and no noise, nothing! Well, probably a fuse blown right? Look at the panel and none of the indicator lights show a blown fuse but hey, let me check with my ohm meter...

    Any Experience Changing Entire Awning?

    We had a sudden and heavy thunderstorm here today. I had my awning out on my Rockwood 2606WS while it was sitting in my driveway. The awning filled up with water and it collapsed the frame on one side of the awning. The frame is pretty bent up along with the fitting at the end of the awning...

    Bowed Awning Roller

    I was working on my TT screen door, and it started to drizzle, so I rolled the awning out so I wouldn't get wet. I went into the house for dinner, and stupidly forgot that I had left the awning out, which I never do. In addition, I didn't drop one side, I just extended it fully while working on...

    Black awning

    So this isn’t really a repair question but maybe a mod question. We have a 22’ awning on our new 29 View and when loading up for our first trip with it, I noticed that the awning radiates some serious heat under it. It is black on both sides. In direct sunlight, it’s pretty useless for sitting...
