Awning

Made a short run from Mansfield Oh to Petersburg Mi yesterday. When we got to Mi the awning wouldn’t extend. Batteries are up, tried the panel in 5th wheel and the app on the iPad. Reset the panel still no luck. We’re two months into a three run, and have had no problems. Was just saying to the wife that we’ve not had the issues I see other folks have. Open mouth insert foot. Thanks, Dave

Have you checked fuses or power with a multimeter?
Just because your battery is up (your words) doesn't mean the awning is getting power.

Dometic

I don't remember the model number but our awning is Dometic. Brand new camper - awning broke the first year. Motor failed because it was too wet. Found out this appears to be a regular problem with these motors (three of us in our campground - we're seasonals). Expect them to last about a year. We just had our motor replaced. We'll see how long this one lasts. Still working with our dealer to have FR compensate us under warranty. Probably will just send us a motor because we went ahead and did the repair with a local shop.
