    Retract awning without power or manual

    My Dometic power awning failed 2 months ago. Of course replacement on back order. Living in Florida with daily bad weather I’ve been using my drill motor to operate. My particular unit has a 3/8 nut which I attach my drill. Well today that stopped working as I can turn the nut by hand. No in...

    Awning opened while going 60mph!

    I have a 2020 Salem 30KQBSS. While towing down the hwy yesterday my awning suddenly flew open and of course ripped entirely and bent the front hardware assembly. I'm beside myself on how this happened. It didn't unroll slowly, it shot out to fully extended in less than 2 seconds and...

    Anyone have any experience with the newer 9200 Dometic POWER awning.? Does it have a return coil spring or not ?. Some say yes and some say no.I dont want any surprises when I replace the drive motor. This is referencing a 2020 9200 model. I cant find a schematic on this new model.

    Isata 3 Awning Bracket Screws

    I have a 2019 Isata 3. I bought it new one year ago. Have only had the awning out on a handful of occasions and was always concerned because the mounting brackets always appeared too small to me for a cantilevered awning. So I watch this closely. Today I looked even closer and I noticed that...

    New 9200 Awning Motor Noise.

    Just completed a Dometic 9200 install with all new hardware, which included a new motor. The motor works OK, but it's noisy as crap. Sounds like the little reduction gearbox has issues? It operates at normal speed. The noise will garner complaints at night in a campground. I'm not...

    Type of awning/motor

    Hi all, Tried contacting forest River and waiting for return call if they call. In the interim, I have a 2018 Cherokee Wolfpup 17RP TT/Toy hauler. My awning on last trip would only extend on one side, luckily I hadn't extended too far and able to retract it back in. The only thing I can make...

    Awning Repair Question

    Hey All, Just got back from a trip to the beach and it was amazing! However, like most beaches the wind was crazy. I set up the awning to our Coachmen Clipper 128 LS and it was great, until it got windy. I had it setup with four tie down straps and it seemed to work well. The metal arms never...

    Awning

    Made a short run from Mansfield Oh to Petersburg Mi yesterday. When we got to Mi the awning wouldn’t extend. Batteries are up, tried the panel in 5th wheel and the app on the iPad. Reset the panel still no luck. We’re two months into a three run, and have had no problems. Was just saying to the...

    Awning strut failure!

    I have a 2021 Forest River wolf pup 16bhs that has just done the same exact thing asany of you here. As I was retracting the awning the strut stayed in the extended position and popped the arm off of the trailer! I had to remove the strut and manually retract and tape the bottom of the arm to...

    Dometic 8500 Awning won't extend

    My 2004 27" Wildcat has a Manual Dometic 8500 series awning that will now only extend to about 6 ft. As you pull it down it gradually gets harder and harder to pull until it just stops. I can push it back to where it will lock in place. I contacted Dometic and they said the springs are on back...

    Just curious, does anyone setup a 14' box awning by yourself?

    I could do a 12' box awning previous by myself without issue, but the 14' box awning seemed nearly impossible for me alone. Biggest issue was roof support arms want to slide out by themselves and hit side of camper. I really missed doing some damage so I just hung it up and said it can stay in...

    Awning fitment

    Our awning rests on the slide out topper and stretches the fabric. Factory and dealer says it's just the way it is. What are your thoughts?

    power awning travel lock?

    I am looking for ideas on how to secure our Dometic 9100 series power awning for travel. I have seen several RV's alongside the road and have been able to stop and help one get their awning back in place after a gust of wind unrolled it. What does everyone use for their power awnings for going...
