If you have a standard spring loaded awning with small black rafter knobs loosen the knobs now just a few turns are necessary don t remove them or loosen them all the way.

If the awning motor doesn t receive power it will not be able to extend or retract your awning. You also need to check the awning chord that is placed along with the screws on the awning rail. 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. The awning does not seem to have the right tension.

On this particular model during the walk through the tech did not show us the extract retract process so i do not know if this is a normal noise or not.
