Hi there,
I just replaced my awning with a new awning, everything went great except it will not wind up on its own.
Because I cut the old awning off to make it easier to remove I wasn't able to calculate the number of turns to tension it properly, so I am basically starting from scratch.
FWIW, this is a 2000 29' Terry Trailer, the awning width is 16'2'' wide.
Ideally i don't want to have to remove the entire thing per se, but not worried if I have to do that.
This was the video I used as a guide.
I feel that if I unhook the right side awning arm and brace it I can brace the spring on the left with a phllips head, remove tension on the spring, and wind it without having to remove it. Again no big deal if i have to remove it from the guide. My questions are, has anybody experienced this, what's your advice, and ultimately, how much/how many turns do I tighten it?
Thank you for any help.
