    Think it will work? Prevent billowing but plan on putting a tie wrap on arms during travel. Hose clamp around a rubber strip at both ends of awning. Wrapped it in black tape just for looks, don't want the silver glaring at me when I glance up. A bracket and "S" hook secured under each clamp...

    adjust awning pitch

    Howdy all! We have a '22 PUMA with an electric awning. Our first time out I was able to adjust the pitch on one end to allow for rain runoff. Sone then both pitch arms will not lock in the fully extended position - rather they both bend. Can I tighten the nut and bolts to get one end to stay...

    FR# DS25 Awning replacement

    Hi. Is there a part number for an awning replacement on a FR3DS25 2015 ? I believe its a 12 feet. I would like to get the same color as the original? Reason I'm asking for a part number...if that exist. Also is it hard to change by yourself or better to have it done?

    Awning 2022 Forest River Wolf pup

    My awning cloth has become completely disconnected from the trailer. It appears that it was just glued in place. Is that correct? On my previous trailer, the cloth was held in place by a metal strip that was screwed in place.

    Awning

    I hope someone can help me out with my problem. I have a 2012 Forest River Lexington 283 GTS. This past weekend I lost the awning to a storm. I can find replacement vinyl and the 18 ft tube. Some of the parts that attach to the Motorhome have also bent. Since the sides do this Motorhome are...

    Replacement Specs 2005 Class C Sunseeker manual awning (Dometic perhaps???)

    So the awning on our older 2005 Class C is just about gone. We got numerous pinholes developing and there is a break on the main seal at the roof line. I was soring it was going to need replacement soon, but all the rain this season, that "thought" is rapidly becoming a fact. I would like to...

    See previous post here: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f228/awning-failure-dometic-9200-a-212167-5.html Now this.... This motor is the worst design ever. After a few successful trips, my "fix" has broken. The pin I put through the metal shaft got bent by the torque of the awning...

    Electric awning wire covers

    I'm sure this issue isn't exclusive to me..Any suggestions on getting these wore covers to stay on in the arms of the elected awnings. Considering using wire looms, but not sure if there is enough clearance when it folds up.

    Awning question

    Has anyone had any of their awning deploy on them while traveling down the road? We have had our 397th since 2020. We have not had this happen but people have told us to find a way to strap them (the awnings) when we are towing it so they don’t come out. Is this really an issue with these...

    Awning removal

    Hi, is anyone here able & willing to walk me through the removal of my awning? I have a 2014 28DBUD. I need to remove it so I can replace the roof. I've found most of what I need to accomplish that task but nothing on the actual awning removal. I only know it must come down.

    Greetings All, We have a 2019 404RB Sportscoach. Recently the patio (large) awning and all three cameras quit working. The small over-the-door awning works fine. I have checked all known fuses and they check out. Maybe a hidden fuse somewhere not in the fuse blocks? I checked every fuse that is...

    Intermittent Awning - Recommendations for wire to repair?

    I think the wire feeding my awning motor is bad. Reason for the assumption: I fiddled with the wire at some crimp points (folds in the wire), and that restored intermittent operation to an otherwise totally failed awning motor. Also, if I use my drill and partially open the awning, there's...

    I am replacing the front channel of a Dometic power awning on my Sunseeker motorhome. I have the part and it seems like a simple replacement (a bolt and two pins). But I don’t think it as simple as it looks. I am concerned about the torsion spring and the strut when I remove the front...
