Too late I now learn their is a simple adjustment to line up your awning arms
The arm that comes down with the awning attached was stuck hard to the supporting arm that stays attached to the wall of the RV
To those that go on a ladder that is why. Mine was jammed hard while others must be just a little jammed mine was metal to metal and had to hit with rubber hammer to break it apart
The simple fix is an adjustment to the awning arm when the awning is fully extended. Simply push the arm in the direction needed to line up with the arm on the wall. When you push on the arm the tube slides under the material
See this video and you won't have to climb a ladder again
In my frustration with a stuck arm I broke the unlock lever off the locking wire that extends out from the awning tube
I can use pliers to unlock but it won't be long before I'll break this wire and have a awning locked in the extended position and no way to unlock and retract the awning
I need to locate someone that knows how to remove awning and replace the cap that contains the locking mechanism
I am set up at a rural western Pa location so may be difficult to get help
