    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...

    Dometic 9100 awning spring

    Good afternoon, I'm replacing the fabric on my 9100 power awning. Everything is going pretty smoothly, until it comes time to wind up the spring (9 turns per the Dometic manual.) As I understand it the spring should be fully wound when the awning is extended, and the spring tension assists...

    Awning extends but doesn’t retract

    It’s hilarious to watch the trailer break down more and more each year. Now the awning button extends the awning, but doesn’t retract. Do you think this is a button /switch issue, or what is the best way to troubleshoot this? 2018 Wolfpup 16 BHS
