Manual Over-Ride on Dometic Electric Awning

This question was asked on another thread, but I couldn't find it, so I'll start a new one.

According to the instructions in the service manual there is supposed to be a strap provided. I didn't get one with my Crusader.

Don't feel bad, I didn't get one with my 2012 Sabre.

FWIW - My strap was stuffed in the packet-of-many-manuals that I got with the trailer.

I don't remember seeing a strap. I'll have to look through my stuff again.

I first heard of it when I read the manual.
It was missing from my 5th wheel as well.
I need to call Dometic and see if they will send/sell me one.

I'm pretty sure my strap came with all my paperwork, but I need to double check.

They sell the straps at most RV stores. Mine was buried in the manuals also.

After doing some homework on this I've found that the straps are included with the Owner's Manual for the awnings as some of you are indicating. If you didn't get one, check with your dealer. It's not uncommon for the warranty paperwork and owner's manuals to be pulled from the unit by the dealer and returned during delivery. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if these straps became misplaced at times.

If you can't track one down, contact our Customer Service department at:

Prime Time Manufacturing, Manufacturers of travel trailers and fifth wheels

We have them in stock.
