I guess we live in different world's lol

I went with the painter poles this time, but I do have a set of pvc type, and might make a conduit set....... just to see what I like best. Just put the last coat of paint on, and now time to lurk on the forum.

I figured you'd go with alum tubing/pipe.

Maybe after I find out whats eating my awning.....got the herky/jerky's with the Lazy man mod..... have the updated box/remotes coming, so if this current box is have a heart attact, I don't want to over stress the motor.....yet! I read your post about adding torsion spring tension, and the weak motor deal... so we'll see.

As a matter of fact ....Yes..... even bought a spare, and checked my connections on the pass-thru light, and have it almost narrowed down to the box. Just need a little more time to sort it out.

Would suspect a temperamental relay.

I'd put a meter on it and see if you've got voltage fluctuations.

Are the legendary awning poles still on backorder? If so I might need to search the secondary market for some.
