Rv Awning Lock Lever Broken

The awning will not go up.

Rv awning lock lever broken.

Remove the awning fabric from the awning arms and then remove the tops of the arms to access the torsion assembly. The fault of the strap breaking has nothing to do with your method. The right side forward most arm for the awning comes down in front of this window and instead of unrolling the awning to access the window i just unlatched the arm from the bottom and swung it out. It should be an a e dometic model or carefree of colorado.

I went to open and use my awning yesterday and found that the direction lever spring has broken. It is important to allows take every safety precaution available when working with an rv awning. The lever is stuck on the up position. This allows enough slack to lift the arms off the catch.

To replace the cam lock disassemble the awning assembly completely. Not that your awning will hold that much weight. An awning strap in good condition will hold your whole body weight before breaking. I m concerned that it will release while on the road and certain doom will follow.

Sometimes when it is hard to release you need to pull down slightly on the pull strap. Ok this all started with a broken window from storms. I can still roll up and down ok but the lever does not stay locked in either the up or down positions. Dometic awning is in the out position.

Both have that lever on the forward end that you reverse in order to move the awning. It might take two persons to do this. The lever will answered by a verified rv mechanic.
