Caravan Awning Problems

Your awning motor has a built in thermal override to prevent overheating.

Caravan awning problems.

Given the problems with kampa awnings i wonder if other air awnings have similar problems or do they work okay. Plus while you are doing this you have the weight of the caravan awning which is considerable in our case making the job quite hard. We headed off to wales to glanllyn campsite which is on the shores of llyn tegid lake bala. The problem is this rail is quite high up.

Caravan and awning problems heading to wales. The next day we planned to spend on the water. This is how the awning connects to the caravan. Now remove the self tapping screws that hold the spline in the sail track on the caravan wall.

Might say that i am a pole man as the advantage is that the poles and awning weight can be loaded separately between caravan and car. Prolonged use or in and out several times in a row can cause the motor to temporarily shut down. The third possibility of a bad retraction could be the fabric of the caravan awnings has over stretched either due to manual force or due to the weight of the water accumulated on it. With caravan awnings you have to thread some piping on the awning through the rail that runs down the side of the caravan.

Let the motor cool down for 10 to 15 minutes and then try the remote again. Before you go any further make sure you have something soft to place the roll on when it is removed from the caravan so the new vinyl is not damaged while fitting it to the roll. The unit should begin to operate again. The stretching of the rv awning fabric causes the retraction to be uneven as the length of the fabric gets distorted.

The awning does not function properly now it will move in and out with the remote but operates very slowly and does not lock into the travel trailer the switch on the wall for operating the awning works sporadically most of the time this switch will extend the awning but not retract it. Then 2 days ago had terrific thunderstorms from 7pm through the night with winds that literally. The awning does not seem to have the right tension. Remove the crew holding the awning spline in place in the sail track.
