Its a weird one. I had to order it online.
I have a spare out in the camper and if I remember I will get it down.

You can pop the back off the remote and read the number off the battery.

Ooops Should have read and understood your post before posting. I thought you were talking about the "Lazy Man's Mod" by Turbs.

Yes being lazy is all apart of going camping , but I also paid a lot for my RV and if it came with the new unit might as well be able to use it

My neighbors unit is 3-4 years old, but his uses a 23A ... Wally World next to the photo processing departments. These batteries don't seem to last more than a year if that. The other option if the battery doesn't do it ... There is a procedure to resinc the remote with your receiver in your front compartment under the bedroom ... it should be in your owners paperwork from the dealer. There are 2 screws in the remote ... one on the bottom ... another in the center of the back under the decal. Both phillips head screws.

Need to do a reset on it. On the back cover of the remote is directions for doing it. The little yellow button it instructions to push is on a panel back of where your hydraulic tank and the inverter is located. Should be easy to find as there will be a lot of wires running into that area. Once your do it, remember how its done you will probably have to do it again sometime. Only takes a minute. No big deal to do it.

14 CC. I will agree to your comment to Acein. If the RV came with a remote for the awning (and anything else) why not use it. It comes in very handy when you a close to a tree or ?? you can stand outside and stop it when it's close.

The more gadgets the better. Had to get a bigger coffee table for all the remotes.

I could not locate the yellow reset button to resinc the remote on the panel back of the hydraulic tank, referenced by wanderer69 back in June. Can anyone take a picture oof the location and post it? Thanks
